Sophos has completed the acquisition of Secureworks. With this acquisition, Sophos is now the leading pure-play cybersecurity provider of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services, supporting over 28,000 organisations of all sizes worldwide, a statement from Sophos notified.
It said that the combination will enable Sophos to deliver an unparalleled security operations platform, featuring hundreds of built-in integrations for adaptive protection, detection and response for mitigating cyberattacks. The platform helps organisations, especially those with diverse IT estates, safeguard current and future technology investments, providing greater operational efficiencies and return on cybersecurity spend.
“The market is embracing MDR as a clear means to deliver positive cybersecurity outcomes, and this has meant rapid growth in the category,” said Joe Levy, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Sophos.
He further said, “Sophos is differentiated by our very mature competencies in ransomware detection, malware analysis and threat actor tradecraft. These defences are further augmented by Sophos’ native Artificial Intelligence (AI), first innovated by our peer AI team nearly a decade ago, and embedded in our MDR, endpoint, network, email and cloud security to more effectively neutralise and stop threats. With the integration of Secureworks, our expanded services and product portfolio will provide even stronger end-to-end security solutions that will include Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), next-gen SIEM and managed risk, all in a single open platform.”
