Sofistic<\/span><\/a>, a multinational advanced cybersecurity company part of the Cuatroochenta Group and headquartered at <\/span>M\u00e1laga TechPark<\/span><\/a>, has become the first Spanish firm authorized by Darktrace to provide Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. Darktrace, a UK-based company, specializes in artificial intelligence solutions for threat detection and response.<\/span><\/p>\n

This distinction also extends to Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic, where Sofistic is also pioneering. With this recognition, the company strengthens its real-time cybersecurity services, combining the expertise of its technical team with Darktrace\u2019s training, support, and AI-driven tools.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sofistic\u2019s MDR services, which focus on protecting public administrations, critical infrastructures, and financial institutions, are supported by its own 24\/7 Security Operations Center (SOC), distributed across Spain, Colombia, and Panama.<\/span><\/p>\n

This alliance consolidates Sofistic\u2019s cybersecurity capabilities to detect, analyze, investigate, and quickly respond to emerging threats. According to Gartner, MDR services are among the fastest-growing cybersecurity solutions in demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the \u2018MDR Services Authorized\u2019 certification, Darktrace validates that Sofistic\u2019s team has the training, certification, and operational expertise necessary to integrate and manage its cutting-edge AI solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Julio Espinosa, Sofistic\u2019s MDR Team Leader, explained: \u201cWe combine the expertise and judgment of our analysts with the capabilities of Darktrace\u2019s ActiveAI platform, which continuously learns from each client\u2019s behavior and habits, identifying both known threats and subtle anomalies.\u201d This allows us to detect, analyze, and contain complex threats faster and with greater precision, minimizing risks to the clients\u2019 daily operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis recognition reflects the high specialization and rigorous certification process successfully completed by our team of analysts. Thanks to this technology, we can proactively hunt zero-day and insider threats, achieving a dramatic reduction in detection and response times and providing our clients with the confidence of a team that anticipates cyber disruption,\u201d Espinosa added.<\/span><\/p>\n

The integration of Darktrace\u2019s AI platform strengthens Sofistic\u2019s position as a trusted cybersecurity company, boosting protection for organizations against emerging threats while ensuring continuity and resilience in their operations. This milestone follows the <\/span>incorporation of Mar L\u00f3pez as CEO<\/span><\/a>, to lead the company\u2019s expansion and drive innovation in cybersecurity in Spain and across Latin America.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of its commitment to awareness, Sofistic, together with Cuatroochenta, has organized a talk titled \u2018\u00bfCu\u00e1ntos \u201cyo\u201d tengo en internet?\u2019 (How Many Me\u2019s Do I Have on the Internet?) about digital identity and privacy, scheduled for September 16 at the Andalusia Cybersecurity Center (CIAN) in M\u00e1laga.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, Sofistic is preparing for Sofistic Experience, its annual client event to be held later this year, focused on discussing and showcasing the latest cybersecurity trends. In the coming months, the company will also participate in leading industry events, including:<\/span><\/p>\n
