Sophos has announced significant enhancements to its Security Operations portfolio.
In the months since the acquisition of Secureworks for $859-million, Sophos has made transformative progress, unifying technologies, expertise, and services from across its expanded organisation to further elevate defenses and cybersecurity outcomes for its customers worldwide.
The launch of Sophos Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) is the latest in a series of advancements that leverages Secureworks capabilities to expand the company’s Security Operations offerings.
- Sophos Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR): The newest addition, giving organisations faster visibility into identity risks and providing stronger protections against identity-based attacks.
- Sophos Advisory Services: Announced earlier this month, providing penetration testing and advanced security assessments informed by Sophos X-Ops intelligence to mitigate cyber risk.
- Integration of Threat Expertise: The Counter Threat Unit (CTU), integrated through the Secureworks acquisition, has joined Sophos X-Ops, the organisation’s joint task force, uniting multiple specialised teams. This integration expands Sophos’ deep threat expertise with world-class adversary tracking, dark web intelligence, and collaboration with law enforcement and government agencies worldwide. The combined intelligence of Sophos X-Ops powers all Sophos products and services, delivering unmatched defense against cyber threats, including ransomware, state-sponsored attacks, and identity-based intrusions.
- Sophos Endpoint Integration with Secureworks Taegis MDR and XDR: Announced in September, Sophos Endpoint is now natively integrated with Taegis MDR and Taegis XDR and automatically included with all subscriptions, delivering unified prevention, detection, and response while reducing complexity and cost.
Together, these advancements strengthen Sophos’ ability to help organisations of all sizes defend against evolving threats by combining advanced technology with trusted human expertise.
“Sophos is redefining what it means to be a trusted security partner,” says Raja Patel, chief product officer at Sophos. “Our strategy is to meet organisations wherever they are in their cybersecurity journey, uniting advanced defenses with deep human expertise to outpace adversaries. With global scale, visibility, and the intelligence of Sophos X-Ops, we’re delivering stronger outcomes today and ensuring organisations can keep their businesses running securely in the face of tomorrow’s threats.”
