Case Study: COP30 secures a global climate summit with Sophos MDR and XDR

Cop30 blocks 27.4 million malicious DNS requests with Sophos

Sophos secured Cop30, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, which faced immense cybersecurity challenges due to its enormous, temporary network. The event's open public Wi-Fi, public computer centers with USB access, and 60,000 simultaneous devices created a vast attack surface that was targeted by high volumes of hostile activity from hacktivists and state-sponsored actors.

The solution implemented by Sophos relied on its MDR, XDR, and Endpoint solutions integrated into a single dashboard for the security team. This provided the visibility and automated response needed to neutralize threats at machine speed. As a result, Sophos helped block 27.4 million malicious DNS requests and 24 million firewall connections while maintaining 100% network availability, ensuring the high-profile diplomatic event proceeded without disruption.
