Sophos, a global leader in innovative security solutions, has announced significant enhancements to its Security Operations portfolio, which is now trusted by over 75,000 organizations worldwide through its Sophos XDR and Sophos MDR offerings. This announcement marks a pivotal milestone in Sophos’ integration process following the acquisition of Secureworks in February 2025.
In the months since the $859 million acquisition of Secureworks, Sophos has achieved transformative progress, unifying technologies, expertise, and services across its organization. This has further improved the cybersecurity defenses and outcomes for its customers globally. As a testament to this momentum, Sophos has launched Sophos Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), the latest in a series of innovations that leverage Secureworks’ capabilities to expand Sophos’ Security Operations offerings.
Sophos Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR)
Sophos ITDR provides organizations with accelerated visibility into identity risks and stronger protections against identity-based attacks, one of the fastest-growing threat vectors worldwide. Powered by the proven Taegis IDR solution from Secureworks, this new offering empowers organizations to stay ahead of evolving identity-based threats.
Sophos Advisory Services
Announced earlier this month, Sophos Advisory Services offers penetration testing and advanced security assessments informed by the threat intelligence of Sophos X-Ops. This service helps organizations identify vulnerabilities, strengthen defenses, and reduce cybersecurity risks. Delivered by experienced cybersecurity experts, Sophos Advisory Services provides organizations with the insights they need to stay secure.
Integrating Threat Expertise
The integration of Secureworks’ Counter Threat Unit (CTU) into Sophos X-Ops, the company’s joint task force that unites multiple specialized teams, has expanded Sophos’ deep threat expertise. This includes world-class adversary tracking capabilities, dark web intelligence, and collaboration with government agencies and authorities globally. The combined intelligence of Sophos X-Ops empowers all of Sophos’ products and services, offering unparalleled defense against cyber threats, including ransomware, state-sponsored attacks, and identity-based attacks.
Unified Endpoint Protection and MDR/XDR
Announced in September, Sophos Endpoint is now natively integrated with Taegis MDR and Taegis XDR, and is automatically included with all subscriptions. This provides unified prevention, detection, and response capabilities, while reducing complexity and costs for organizations.
Collectively, these advancements strengthen Sophos’ ability to help organizations of all sizes defend against evolving threats, combining advanced technology with the trusted expertise of human experts. «Sophos is redefining what it means to be a trusted security partner. Our strategy is to accompany organizations at every stage of their cybersecurity journey, uniting cutting-edge defenses with deep human expertise to outmaneuver adversaries,» said Raja Patel, Chief Product Officer at Sophos. «With global scale, visibility, and the intelligence of Sophos X-Ops, we are delivering stronger outcomes today and ensuring organizations can operate securely against the threats of tomorrow.»
Expanding the Security Operations Portfolio
The launch of Sophos ITDR and the recent introduction of Sophos Advisory Services further expand Sophos’ reliable Security Operations portfolio. Leveraging Secureworks’ proven Taegis IDR solution, Sophos ITDR provides organizations with accelerated visibility into identity risks and more robust protection against identity-based attacks, one of the fastest-growing threat vectors globally.
Sophos Advisory Services, informed by the threat intelligence of Sophos X-Ops and delivered by experienced cybersecurity experts, offers penetration testing and advanced security assessments to help organizations identify gaps, strengthen defenses, and reduce risks. Together, these offerings expand the solution portfolio that Sophos partners can provide to their customers, creating new growth opportunities and helping them differentiate their offerings.
