Sophos XDR with Next-Gen SIEM adds long-term log retention, compliance reporting, and unlimited third-party log ingestion to Sophos XDR. The result: one place for analysts to investigate, hunt, respond, and pull the records that auditors and cyber-insurance carriers ask for after an event.
Traditional SIEMs were built for storage, not investigation. Next-Gen SIEM adds the storage and reporting without losing the modern detection-and-response workflow XDR already gives you.
Hot, searchable retention for a full year - enough for most compliance regimes and long-dwell investigations. No archival tier juggling, no “query frozen data” surprises.
Pull logs from anywhere: SaaS apps, on-prem servers, network gear, custom applications. Generic syslog, JSON, and API connectors mean almost nothing is excluded.
Pre-built reporting templates for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST CSF, and CIS controls. Spend the audit interview talking about findings, not gathering them.
Sub-second searches across a year of data. Built on a modern columnar data store, not the relational stack that made legacy SIEMs grind to a halt.
Build dashboards for executives, auditors, and analysts using the same data set. Schedule recurring reports straight to email or shared storage.
SIEM features layer onto your existing Sophos XDR license. No second console, no separate user training, no third tool to maintain.
Sophos XDR is enough for many organizations. But the moment a compliance auditor, cyber-insurance carrier, or regulator asks for log evidence going back six or twelve months, the calculus changes. That’s where Next-Gen SIEM fits.
SIEM upgrades from XDR aren’t about more detections - they’re about meeting requirements that can’t be answered by 30 days of endpoint telemetry alone.
Healthcare, finance, public sector, and CMMC-bound defence contractors. Long retention plus pre-built compliance reports turn a yearly audit from a project into a one-day review.
Audit-ready by defaultModern policies demand evidence of detection, logging, and incident response. SIEM data becomes the documentation packet you can hand a claims adjuster after an event.
Insurance-ready evidenceSaaS, on-prem servers, custom internal apps, network gear, IoT devices - they all generate logs that should flow into one place. SIEM ingestion lets you actually do that.
One log home for everythingSIEM is one part of a fully built-out program. These are the products our customers most commonly pair with XDR with Next-Gen SIEM.
The foundation that SIEM builds on. If you’re not on XDR yet, start there - SIEM features are a license-based addition once XDR is in place.
SIEM data + Sophos’s 24/7 SOC. Auditable evidence collection AND a team watching and responding to threats around the clock.
SIEM brings logs into one place; ITDR brings detections for the credential-based attacks those logs are full of. Common pairing for identity-heavy environments.
