Products•Sophos Workspace Protection

We’re excited to announce that the highly anticipated release of Sophos Workspace Protection has arrived.

Feb 26 2026 By

Sophos Workspace Protection is 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. It provides consistent policy enforcement on and off the network and enables a variety of trending use cases like safe GenAI adoption and SaaS application controls.

 

What’s included

Sophos Workspace Protection provides a unique and elegant solution to the challenge of protecting remote and hybrid workers. It integrates all the network security components needed to secure apps, data, workers, and guests — wherever they are — into a single easy-to-use and familiar app: a hardened Chromium browser.

Sophos Workspace Protection includes:

  • Sophos Protected Browser – a new secure Chromium web browser that provides several security features, including control over app usage, local data controls, and web filtering. It is hardened against exploits and attacks and integrates Sophos ZTNA for access to web apps and rich SSH and RDP support.
  • Sophos Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) – now integrated into Sophos Protected Browser, it can be used agentless or with a thin agent as before. It also works with Sophos Endpoint to provide device posture assessment and Synchronized Security Heartbeat to define device health as part of access policies. Existing Sophos ZTNA customers will automatically gain access to the full Sophos Workspace Protection bundle and all the added capabilities it provides on February 28th.
  • Sophos DNS Protection for Endpoints – provides an additional layer of web protection across all apps, ports, and protocols on your remote Windows devices with added visibility, security, and privacy with DNS over HTTPS.
  • Sophos Email Monitoring System (EMS) – an email solution overlay that deploys alongside Google or Microsoft email solutions to monitor email traffic and provide additional insights, analysis, and detections of unwanted or malicious email, including phishing attacks.

These product components are modular, allowing customers to deploy only what they need. While not a prerequisite, Sophos Workspace Protection works better together with Sophos Endpoint or Sophos Firewall, unifying protection and extending Synchronized Security to remote workers everywhere they go.

 

What Sophos Workspace Protection can do for you

In addition to providing an elegant and affordable solution to secure remote and hybrid workers and the apps and data they access, Sophos Workspace Protection also enables some trending use cases that many of you have been inquiring about:

 

Easier and more affordable than SASE alternatives

Sophos Workspace Protection provides significant advantages over alternative SASE or SSE cloud-delivered solutions, including:

  • Affordability: With no expensive cloud infrastructure or traffic management, Sophos Workspace Protection provides much better value.
  • Efficiency and performance: There’s no backhauling traffic or man-in-the-middle decryption in the cloud to slow users down or cause compatibility headaches.
  • Management overhead: Having a single app to protect all other online apps – private apps, SaaS apps, web apps – reduces day-to-day IT efforts. Plus, it’s simple to add and remove users – including contractors or workers using unmanaged devices.
  • Security: Sophos Workspace Protection transforms the browser from a security liability into a key security asset.
  • Universality: It works everywhere—on or off the network.

Sophos Workspace Protection is the ultimate solution for remote or hybrid workers; nothing is easier or more affordable.

 

Licensing and purchase options

Licensing: Sophos Workspace Protection uses simple per-user licensing. For example, if a customer has 100 remote or hybrid workers to protect, they need 100 licenses. If they want full Workspace Protection for 50 workers but need Sophos DNS Protection for 100 workers, they still require 100 Workspace Protection licenses. Licensing is based on the highest user count across Sophos Protected Browser, Sophos ZTNA, or Sophos DNS Protection. Sophos EMS is not considered in licensing/usage calculations.

Purchasing options: Sophos Workspace Protection is available as a standalone solution or as an add-on to any other Sophos product — no other product is required. For customers purchasing both products, there’s a convenient bundle with Sophos Endpoint that simplifies quoting and ordering. This bundle is available for term purchases starting today and for MSP Flex from March 10, 2026.

Introductory offers: Customers who purchase Sophos Workspace Protection with Sophos Firewall receive a 30% discount on their first Workspace Protection licenses. As the requirements and license quantity vary by region and model, check the details about the introductory offer for your region on the Partner Portal.

Availability: Both term subscriptions and MSP Flex options are available, making Sophos Workspace Protection suitable for organizations of any size.

NFR: Partners can place Not-For-Resale (NFR) orders from today. Check the updated NFR Program Guide for further details.
