Classification: InBrief
Sophos acquired its MDR competitor SecureWorks in early 2025, and has the opportunity to extend its already considerable market reach.
The acquisition of Secureworks and its Taegis MDR platform adds a number of capabilities for key next steps. Sophos should be able to incorporate SIEM, SOAR and log retention capabilities from Taegis, all of which match larger customers’ needs. Sophos also gains an Identity Threat Detection and Response capability to add to its service range, as well as support for network telemetry from operational technology (OT), which meets customer requirements in manufacturing, healthcare, and retail markets.
