Synchronized Security And Security Heartbeat: Elevating Cyber Defenses, Automatically
Sophos, Tuesday, January 20th, 2026
Sophos introduced Synchronized Security in 2015 with the ability for Sophos Firewall and Sophos Endpoint to share information and work together to automatically respond to threats. This pioneering approach, which transformed cybersecurity from a collection of point products to a security ecosystem, has been successfully reducing cyber risk and elevating security outcomes in the face of real-world threats for over a decade.
We've steadily expanded and evolved Synchronized Security since that initial launch, including interconnecting a broad range of products and services, extending response actions, and synchronizing our threat intelligence. Today, Sophos Workspace Protection becomes the latest addition to the Synchronized Security portfolio.
