We are thrilled to announce the official acquisition of Secureworks by Sophos.
Feel free to check out the video message from Joe Levy, the CEO of Sophos, in which he explains the rationale behind bringing together these two industry pioneers and how we plan to revolutionize cybersecurity for small, midmarket, and enterprise organizations.
Although today marks the commencement of our combined company, we have already mapped out a comprehensive plan for our collaborative future. By integrating the collective expertise and technologies of Sophos and Secureworks, we will expedite our mission to provide cybersecurity solutions that address the most crucial challenges faced by organizations of various sizes amidst frequent and ever-evolving cyber threats.
As an illustration, we will consolidate the MDR/XDR and other vital capabilities from both entities into a unified security operations platform that will empower us to offer unparalleled cyber defenses for the diverse IT landscapes of today, inclusive of numerous pre-built integrations. This sophisticated platform will further enhance visibility, detection, and response to combat cyber threats, setting a new benchmark for security operations.
Expanding the threat intelligence powering our defenses
Cyber threats are relentless. With this acquisition, the Secureworks’ Counter Threat Unit (CTU), which is renowned for its intelligence on advanced persistent threats (APT) and state-sponsored attackers, will merge with the Sophos X-Ops advanced threat response joint task force. This expanded unit will furnish unmatched and varied threat intelligence, bolstering our customers’ defenses with expert insights into the intricate threat landscape of today.
Continuous protection for customers at all times
We highly appreciate the trust that customers have instilled in Sophos and Secureworks, and we are steadfast in our commitment to safeguard them against advanced threats while upholding the high service standards they prize. Alongside maintaining the delivery of our existing set of services and technologies to both Sophos and Secureworks customers, our customer experience teams will ensure seamless and ongoing support throughout the integration phase. For any inquiries, please contact your Sophos representative.
We invite you to join us in commemorating this significant milestone. We are excited about what lies ahead in our journey!
