Sophos, a cybersecurity company; and Rubrik, a security and AI operations company, have announced the general availability of Sophos Backup and Recovery Powered by Rubrik Cyber Resilience. The offering enables Sophos’ customers to rapidly recover Microsoft 365 data following ransomware, account compromise, insider threats, or accidental deletion, all managed within Sophos Central, the defence system they already use to run their security operations.

Today’s announcement follows the companies’ strategic partnership announced in August 2025, bringing integrated Microsoft 365 backup and recovery capabilities into production for thousands of organisations worldwide.

Microsoft 365 is the operational backbone of modern business, running email, identity, and collaboration for hundreds of millions of users worldwide. That scale also makes it a prime target, with attackers exploiting compromised identities to access data, move laterally, and disrupt operations, often before detection.

With Sophos Backup and Recovery Powered by Rubrik Cyber Resilience now generally available, organizations can move beyond fragmented workflows and manage both threat response and data recovery within a single platform. By bringing recovery into the same platform used for threat detection and response, organizations can quickly understand what was affected and restore clean, trusted data without leaving Sophos Central.

“Staying operational in a world of constant digital disruption requires confidence in your ability to quickly recover,” said Tom Foucha, VP Product Management, Sophos. “By bringing recovery directly into the same platform where security teams detect and respond to threats, we’re making cyber resilience practical. This gives organisations a faster, more direct way to withstand attacks and keep their business running.”

Available as an add-on for Sophos customers, the solution integrates Rubrik’s SaaS-based Microsoft 365 protection into Sophos Central, covering Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Security teams gain a unified experience across threat response and data recovery, eliminating the need for separate tools while strengthening resilience with air-gapped, immutable backups and fast, granular recovery at scale.

“For organizations, where Microsoft 365 anchors everything from email to collaboration to critical file storage, its resilience isn’t optional,” said Mallika Swaminathan, product management lead at Rubrik. “Effective cyber resilience means ensuring recovery is reliable and rapid when organizations need it most. By embedding recovery into Sophos Central, we’re simplifying how organizations protect and restore their Microsoft 365 data in critical moments.”
