Sophos AI Defense is now generally available

When we introduced Sophos AI Defense in July, we focused on a challenge facing organizations everywhere: 

AI adoption is accelerating, often faster than security and IT teams can see or control it. New AI tools, embedded capabilities, and shadow AI are creating blind spots around where AI is being used and what information it can access.

Starting today, Sophos AI Defense is generally available, giving organizations the visibility and control to discover AI use, understand risk, apply guardrails, and protect sensitive information. Powered by Sophos Fusion, the Sophos AI-Native Cybersecurity Defense System, it brings AI security into the environment Sophos customers already use, rather than requiring another disconnected platform to manage. 

See AI. Control AI. Secure AI.

AI is increasingly embedded in the tools people use every day. That can create blind spots when employees adopt AI services that security teams do not know about or when AI functionality appears within applications already in use.

Sophos AI Defense helps bring that activity into view and gives security teams the context and controls to act:

• See AI: Discover AI tools, agents, and workflows across your environment, including shadow AI.
• Control AI: Apply practical guardrails for how AI can be used.
• Secure AI: Protect sensitive information from AI-driven risk. 

Together, these capabilities help organizations move beyond simply knowing AI is being used to making informed decisions about how it should be used.

Security for AI, built on Sophos Fusion

Sophos AI Defense is powered by Sophos Fusion, connecting security controls across the device, network, identity, and browser. That means organizations can extend the security operations and Sophos security controls they already rely on, rather than creating another security silo.

Available today and built to evolve

AI won’t stand still, and neither will Sophos AI Defense. We will continue expanding its capabilities as AI adoption grows and new risks emerge. 

Organizations shouldn’t have to choose between embracing AI and managing the risk that comes with it. Sophos AI Defense brings AI out of the shadows so you can see it, control it, and secure it with confidence.
