What changed

Sophos describes using OpenAI Daybreak agents to accelerate security investigations. OpenAI’s customer story reports a 96% reduction in investigation time and says 52% of managed detection and response cases are resolved end-to-end by AI.

The useful detail

Customer permissions still shape the response: notify, collaborate or authorize. The account says potentially destructive actions need appropriate human oversight.

How to read the claim

These are results reported in a vendor’s customer story. They are not a Rovelum benchmark or an independent comparison across security products.
