Sophos and Rubrik Make Microsoft 365 Backup and Recovery, Powered by Rubrik Cyber Resilience, Available to Sophos Customers Worldwide
Sophos and Rubrik said Sophos Backup and Recovery Powered by Rubrik Cyber Resilience is generally available for Sophos customers. The add-on, managed in Sophos Central, provides Microsoft 365 recovery after ransomware, account compromise, insider threats, or deletion, covering Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams. It uses air-gapped, immutable backups and granular restore; the firms cite a prior August 2025 partnership.

Positive for Rubrik as it gains a new channel via Sophos and strengthens its Microsoft 365 resilience footprint.
Rubrik’s GA announcement ties its SaaS Microsoft 365 backup/recovery to Sophos Central, expanding distribution and reinforcing its cyber-resilience platform.
Near-term sentiment tailwind; material financial impact likely incremental unless deal economics are disclosed.
Background
Sophos and Rubrik previously announced a strategic partnership (Aug 2025) to integrate Microsoft 365 backup/recovery into Sophos Central; this article reports GA availability.
Why it matters
The integration positions Sophos Central as a unified console for threat detection/response plus rapid recovery of Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data using immutable, air-gapped backups.
Market relevance
A GA partnership integration can improve enterprise adoption of immutable M365 recovery workflows, which investors may view as strengthening Rubrik’s platform relevance.
Market effects
Supports the broader trend of bundling detection with immutable backup/recovery for Microsoft 365 ransomware response.
Global go-to-market via Sophos customers worldwide may broaden enterprise penetration beyond Rubrik’s direct sales footprint.
Microsoft 365 is a global target; improved recovery workflows can increase demand for cyber-resilience tooling across regions.
Alternative perspectives
This is an add-on distribution/packaging update; without pricing, seat counts, or renewal metrics, near-term revenue read-through may be limited.
Competitive intensity in M365 backup (e.g., other cyber-resilience vendors) and customer budget prioritization after ransomware incidents could cap incremental uptake.
