Last month, we introduced Sophos Fusion and shared our vision for the future of cyber defense.
Today, we're excited to announce the next significant milestone in that journey: Sophos XDR Powered by Secureworks, Sophos Next-Gen SIEM, and an expanded Sophos MDR service, are now generally available.
Powered by Sophos Fusion, these new and enhanced offerings create fresh opportunities to help customers strengthen security operations, defend against AI-driven threats, meet compliance requirements, and reduce complexity.
What's available now
The following are now generally available for new term (non-MSP) customers:
- Sophos XDR Powered by Secureworks
Delivering stronger detections, embedded threat intelligence, expanded integrations, automation playbooks (SOAR), Sophos Email Monitoring System (EMS), a significantly enhanced analyst experience, and more. - Sophos MDR
Now expanded with broader integrations, embedded threat intelligence, Sophos EMS, a redesigned analyst workspace, continuous agentic threat hunting through the world's largest Agentic SOC, and more. - Sophos Next-Gen SIEM
A new compliance-focused add-on that extends Sophos XDR and Sophos MDR with long-term data retention, compliance reporting, and support for custom integrations.
Existing customer upgrades are underway
We have also started a phased upgrade program for existing Sophos EDR, Sophos XDR, and Sophos MDR customers. Customers will receive in-product notifications before their upgrade takes place.
As customers are upgraded to the enhanced solutions, they'll gain access to new capabilities included as part of their existing subscription. This creates a valuable opportunity to reconnect with customers, demonstrate the additional value they're receiving, and explore ways to further strengthen their security operations.
Sophos AI Defense EAP is now open

The latest offerings, enabled by Sophos Fusion, create opportunities across both new and existing customer relationships.
