Sophos has acquired Refactr<\/a>, which develops and markets a versatile DevSecOps automation platform that bridges the gap between DevOps and cybersecurity.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0DevOps\u00a0and\u00a0security teams\u00a0continue to adopt\u00a0\u201cIT-as-Code\u201d\u00a0approaches to managing their environments, Refactr\u2019s\u00a0ability to automate\u00a0any\u00a0of these\u00a0processes\u00a0enables\u00a0teams\u00a0to scale.\u00a0Refactr has leading customers in both the private and government\/public sectors, including the Center for Internet Security<\/a>, and the US Air Force\u2019s Platform One<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sophos is optimizing Refactr\u2019s DevSecOps automation platform to add Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) capabilities to our Managed Threat Response (MTR)<\/a> and Extended Detection and Response (XDR)<\/a> solutions. The SOAR capabilities will also help automate Sophos\u2019 Adaptive Cybersecurity Ecosystem<\/a>, which underpins all of Sophos\u2019 product solutions, services, and alliance integrations. We plan to begin offering integrated SOAR options by early 2022. <\/em><\/p>\n

First-generation SOAR solutions have moved our industry forward in significant ways, but we\u2019re now witnessing an evolution where more and more businesses are becoming software companies, and our security solutions need to evolve in parallel. As we\u2019ve seen in recent supply-chain incidents, attackers are increasingly targeting software development pipelines, and defenders need the ability to shift further left of attackers. The industry needs SOAR to mature into more capable and generalizable DevSecOps solutions, and Sophos\u2019 acquisition of Refactr will help us lead the way.<\/p>\n

With Refactr, Sophos will fast track the integration of such advanced SOAR capabilities into our Adaptive Cybersecurity Ecosystem, the basis for our XDR product and MTR service. We will provide a full spectrum of automated playbooks and pipelines for our customers and partners, from drag-and-drop to fully programmable, along with broad integrations with third-party solutions through our technology alliances program to work with today\u2019s diverse IT environments.<\/p>\n

Sophos will continue to develop and offer Refactr\u2019s platform to their existing and growing base of partners and organizations that want to build customized IT and security automations for themselves and for their customers. Refactr\u2019s Community Edition<\/a> will continue to be available as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
