Scaling
- Independence of resources
-
"Sophos NDR utilizes a cloud-native architecture hosted on AWS that automatically scales compute and storage resources to handle variable global loads, ensuring consistent performance.
Crucially, resource-intensive packet inspection occurs locally on sensors within the customer’s own environment, rather than in the shared cloud. Only optimized telemetry is transmitted to the platform. This edge-processing model guarantees that high traffic volumes or surges in one customer’s network do not degrade service quality or latency for other users. Additionally, strict logical isolation ensures tenant data remains segregated within the multi-tenant Data Lake."
Analytics

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- Service level targets are documented at https://docs.sophos.com/support/help/en-us/services-guide/level-targets/index.html
- Approach to resilience
-
"Datacentre Resilience The service leverages AWS Availability Zones (AZs). All critical infrastructure and data persistence layers are replicated across at least three physically separated datacenters (AZs) within the customer’s chosen region. This ensures that a power, hardware, or network failure in one facility does not result in service interruption.
Service Resilience Auto-Scaling: Workloads run in auto-scaling groups behind load balancers, allowing the platform to dynamically expand compute resources during high demand and automatically replace failed instances.
NDR Sensor Resilience: Sophos NDR sensors operate passively (out-of-band). If a sensor fails or loses cloud connectivity, it does not interrupt network traffic. Sensors buffer telemetry locally during temporary outages to ensure data completeness upon reconnection." - Outage reporting
