Sophos, a global cybersecurity leader, has announced Sophos Fusion, the industry’s most complete AI-native cybersecurity defense system, built to deliver a coordinated response to AI-era threats.
A cybersecurity defense system is an emerging category in the industry: a single, open architecture where every control point, every service, every data source, and every analyst operate as one, whether the control point is native or third-party.
Every new source enhances the system, accelerating outcomes while reducing overhead.
The AI era has changed what modern defense requires.
Attacks can now move across an organization’s environment as a single coordinated operation, further compressing the time from first access to impact from days to hours.
Most security and IT leaders are trying to meet that speed with a growing pile of disconnected tools.
A cybersecurity defense system is built on four core elements:
- One shared context lake, where every signal from every control point flows into a single data layer in real time.
- Synchronized Security, where a detection on one control point triggers coordinated action across the others at the same moment.
- Agentic autonomy with human governance, where the system investigates and responds inside boundaries analysts set and continuously calibrate.
- Compounding intelligence, where every threat seen across the defended base makes every customer’s defense stronger.
“As AI increases the speed, scale, and complexity of attacks, organizations need a modern connected, intelligent, and adaptive defense,” said Joe Levy, chief executive officer, Sophos.
“Sophos Fusion is built as a defense system optimized for Human-AI workflows. We bring the most complete solution to a new category, a timely advancement demanded by the AI era.”
Sophos Fusion offers endpoint protection, endpoint detection and response (EDR), extended detection and response (XDR), next-gen SIEM, identity threat detection and response (ITDR), managed detection and response (MDR), network security, email, cloud, and advisory services as one defense system.
With support for more than 500 third-party integrations, organizations can use their existing endpoint, firewall, and identity tools as part of the system alongside Sophos defense and protection.
