Introducing Sophos Workspace Protection
Sophos, Tuesday, January 20th, 2026
We're excited to announce the latest addition to the Sophos portfolio: Sophos Workspace Protection. It's an easy, effective, and affordable way to protect remote and hybrid workers, contractors and guests - and the networks and data they access - from threats, breaches, and shadow IT, and provide consistent policy enforcement on and off the network.
The challenge - Why Sophos Workspace Protection?
The traditional network perimeter has been disappearing in recent years, with applications, data, and users everywhere. This shift has made protecting remote and hybrid workers a significant challenge for IT teams.
In response, cloud-delivered network security solutions like Secure Web Gateways (SWG), Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB), and cloud firewalls - often collectively known as SASE or SSE solutions - have emerged to try and solve this issue. However, these solutions come with their own set of challenges related to back-hauling and encrypted traffic, latency, and cost effectiveness that have made them unworkable options for many smaller and mid-sized organizations.
