Sophos, a leading cybersecurity company, has officially acquired Secureworks in a move that aims to revolutionize cybersecurity for organizations of all sizes. The acquisition brings together two industry pioneers with a clear roadmap for the future, integrating their expertise and technologies to combat persistent and constantly evolving cyberthreats.
The combined company will focus on delivering cybersecurity products and services that address the most critical issues in today’s threat landscape. By merging the Managed Detection and Response (MDR)/Extended Detection and Response (XDR) capabilities of both Sophos and Secureworks, the company plans to create a unified security operations platform with advanced defenses and hundreds of built-in integrations. This platform will enhance visibility, detection, and response to cyberattacks, setting a new standard for security operations.
One of the key benefits of the acquisition is the collaboration between Secureworks’ Counter Threat Unit (CTU) and Sophos X-Ops advanced threat response joint task force. This partnership will provide customers with unrivaled threat intelligence, particularly in areas like advanced persistent threats (APT) and state-sponsored attackers. The expanded unit will give customers expert insights into the complex threat landscape, strengthening their defenses against cyberattacks.
Despite the integration of the two companies, customers can rest assured that they will remain fully protected at all times. Sophos and Secureworks are committed to defending their customers against advanced threats while maintaining the high levels of service they currently receive. Customer experience teams will ensure seamless support during the integration period, and customers are encouraged to reach out to their Sophos representative with any questions or concerns.
The acquisition marks a significant milestone for both companies and the cybersecurity industry as a whole. It represents a strategic move to enhance cybersecurity capabilities and provide customers with more robust defenses against evolving cyberthreats. Sophos and Secureworks invite their customers to celebrate this exciting milestone and look forward to the journey ahead as they work together to transform cybersecurity for organizations of all sizes.
