Sophos has launched Sophos Fusion, a security platform integrating security operations with protection for endpoints, networks, accounts, email and cloud. According to SiliconANGLE on July 15, the platform revamps Sophos Central, used by 625,000 organisations. Sophos said Fusion is an AI-native cyber defence system built on an open architecture and combined with the Taegis analytics engine acquired through last year’s Secureworks deal. New functions will be introduced in phases from August to October.

Kraken-led Ethereum layer2 Ink will adopt Optimism’s fully managed OP Enterprise service under a multi-year contract. Under the deal, Optimism will directly operate Ink’s production infrastructure, while the Ink Foundation focuses on ecosystem growth and developing new financial products.
