Watch for with Secureworks: Taegis Endpoint Agent reaches end of support on 2027-07-31 (Japan 2028-07-31); all customers must migrate to Sophos Endpoint. The license is included, but the fleet-wide agent swap is a migration project to budget before that date.; Sophos acquisition closed Feb 2025; secureworks.com/services/mdr now redirects to the Sophos MDR page and Sophos Fusion (GA reported 2026-08-15) points toward long-term platform consolidation.
