Sophos, a global leader in next-generation cybersecurity, has announced the acquisition of Secureworks, a renowned cybersecurity pioneer, in a landmark deal worth $859 million.

This strategic move aims to redefine the cybersecurity landscape by combining the strengths, expertise, and technologies of both organizations.

In an official announcement, Sophos CEO Joe Levy expressed his enthusiasm for this partnership, highlighting how the unification of these two industry leaders will revolutionize cybersecurity for small, midmarket, and enterprise organizations.

“This acquisition solidifies our mission to address the rapidly evolving cyber threats faced by organizations of all sizes,” Levy stated.

A Clear Roadmap for the Future

The combined organization has unveiled its vision to develop a unified cybersecurity operations platform, merging Sophos’ and Secureworks’ next-generation technologies.

By integrating Managed Detection and Response (MDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and other advanced capabilities, the platform will deliver unmatched protection for hybrid IT environments.

Featuring hundreds of built-in integrations, this innovative solution promises to set a new standard for visibility, detection, and response in combating cyberattacks.

The acquisition significantly enhances Sophos’ ability to defend against sophisticated cyber threats.

Secureworks’ Counter Threat Unit (CTU), globally recognized for its expertise in tackling advanced persistent threats (APTs) and state-sponsored cyberattacks, will now operate as part of the Sophos X-Ops advanced threat response task force.

By combining forces, this expanded team will deliver unparalleled threat intelligence, providing insights to help customers stay ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape.

Sophos has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to protecting existing customers of both companies.

Sophos and Secureworks customers will continue to benefit from the products, services, and trusted support they have relied on.

Sophos’ customer experience teams are dedicated to ensuring a seamless transition throughout the integration process while maintaining high levels of service.

This acquisition marks a pivotal moment in the cybersecurity industry, creating a formidable force against the rising tide of cyberattacks.

Sophos invites its customers, partners, and stakeholders to celebrate this milestone as a significant step toward shaping the future of cybersecurity.
