Sophos Central is evolving. Meet Sophos Fusion.
Sophos Central is becoming Sophos Fusion. Built on the Sophos AI-Native Cybersecurity Defense System architecture, it’s the evolution of the security solution you already know and trust. This is an upgrade designed for the AI era, delivering even more powerful protection. You will see the new name arrive gradually over the coming months, and you can keep working exactly as you do today.
AI era threats move faster than defenders can respond
AI is accelerating the speed, scale, and sophistication of attacks. A single attack now moves at machine speed and often crosses several layers at once. At the same time, the defenses meant to stop it are split across separate consoles that are hard to connect, so teams switch between systems and piece signals together by hand. Attacks are getting faster while defenses stay fragmented.
Attacks that outpace your team
AI lets attackers find weaknesses and strike at a speed and volume that manual response cannot match. Without a system to keep pace, your team is always a step behind, responding after the damage is done rather than getting ahead of it.
Gaps between your defenses
When tools are managed separately, policies drift apart, and misconfigurations and threats slip through unnoticed. Attackers live in the gaps between your tools.
Overhead that grows with you
Day-to-day administration and reporting for leadership, auditors, and insurers take up time that your team doesn’t have.
Sophos Fusion
Sophos Fusion is built on the new Sophos Cyber Defense System architecture which enables all your security investments to work as one. Your control points, agentic AI, and human experts operate together rather than in isolation, sharing what they see and coordinating their response automatically. The result is AI-accelerated defenses that match the speed, scale, and sophistication of AI-era attacks, detecting and stopping threats across every layer rather than leaving each tool to act alone.
Sophos Fusion is how you experience the Sophos Cyber Defense System.
Stronger defense, simpler security
Sophos Fusion enables you to protect your business against AI-era threats and provides one place to see, run, and control your security.
Stop threats that move at machine speed
AI-era attacks strike fast and cross every layer at once. From Sophos Fusion, your defenses meet them as one: protect, detect, investigate, and respond from a single place, with cross-product context already assembled for you. Native Sophos control points deliver the strongest defense against AI-era threats, coordinating automatically across every layer instead of leaving each tool to act alone.
Works with what you already own
Sophos Fusion connects more than 500 third-party tools, so your current and future security investments become part of one coordinated defense, without replacing what already works
Confidence you can prove
Know where your security stands at a glance, and show it to anyone who asks. Customizable dashboards give a clear view of alerts, devices, and users, and the reports your board, auditors, and insurers expect are a few clicks away.
Turn your tools into a strategy
Stop running tool by tool and start delivering a strategy. Sophos Fusion shows you where your gaps are, lets you set policy across your estate, and handles routine work automatically, so your team can focus on strategic improvements.
The right access for the right people
Keep control of who can do what, and reduce the risk of costly mistakes. Role-based access and multi-factor authentication give each administrator exactly the access they need, and no more, so the right people stay in control of your defenses.
Add protection, not complexity
As your needs grow, add protection without adding work. Every Sophos product you turn on is managed from Sophos Fusion, so expanding your defenses takes clicks, not new consoles.
The MSP accelerator for the AI era
The Sophos Cyber Defense System enables MSPs and MSSPs to provide the best possible defense against AI-era threats. Sophos Fusion makes that defense easy to deploy, manage, and report on across your entire customer base. Together, they enable you to grow your practice and elevate your customers’ defenses while reducing your management overhead. And with the full Sophos portfolio at your fingertips, including Sophos Endpoint, Sophos Firewall, and Sophos MDR, you can give customers the strongest first line of defense against AI-era attacks.
Built on a secure, resilient foundation
Sophos Fusion is cloud-native and built for availability. Your data is held in the region you choose, encrypted in transit and at rest. Multi-factor authentication and role-based access protect administrator accounts, and Sophos monitors the service continuously for attacks and ensures accessibility for the customers and partners who depend on it.
