Smarter Cybersecurity Starts with Sophos Flex

Sophos

Leader Cloud is proud to offer Sophos Flex – a cloud-first cybersecurity solution designed specifically for MSPs and IT providers.

Sophos Flex gives you monthly, usage-based access to Sophos’ full suite of cybersecurity solutions — including endpoint protection, server security, XDR, firewall management, email security, and more. These are the same enterprise-grade Sophos tools trusted around the world — but with flexible, partner-friendly licensing that makes it easy to scale and adapt.

With Sophos Flex You:

Deploy advanced Sophos cybersecurity through Sophos Central, a multi-tenant cloud management console

Provision and manage licenses dynamically across multiple customers

Avoid upfront costs or fixed terms — you only pay for what’s in use each month

This isn’t just a more flexible way to license software. It’s a complete framework for delivering Sophos-powered protection as part of your ongoing services.

How it works

Built for Security-as-a-Service

Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS) is the modern way of delivering cybersecurity — not as a one-off software install, but as an ongoing, fully managed service. Instead of selling point solutions, you offer always-on protection, proactive monitoring, threat detection, and expert response — all bundled into your monthly services.

Think of it like outsourced security — but where most of the heavy lifting is done by Sophos. Their team of 500+ cybersecurity experts work around the clock from 8 global Security Operations Centres, including one in Australia, to monitor threats, investigate incidents, and respond in real-time. All data is kept local in Australian-based data centres, helping you meet customer compliance needs and data sovereignty requirements — without building your own SOC or hiring specialised staff.

How Sophos Delivers on Security-as-a-Service

Sophos stands out as a leader in providing SECaaS through its robust infrastructure and services:

Global Security Operations Centers (SOCs)

Sophos operates multiple SOCs worldwide, staffed by over 500 cybersecurity experts. These centers provide 24/7 monitoring, threat detection, and incident response, ensuring that threats are identified and mitigated promptly.

Australian Data Center

Recognising the importance of data sovereignty, Sophos has established a data center in Sydney. This facility ensures that Australian customers’ data remains within national borders, complying with local regulations and providing peace of mind regarding data privacy.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

Sophos’ MDR team works on your behalf — delivering your customers round-the-clock threat hunting, analysis, and response, so you don’t have to build your own SOC or hire in-house analysts.

Sophos Central Platform

This unified console allows for centralised management of all Sophos security products, simplifying administration and providing clear visibility into security operations across all customers

Why Should MSPs and Resellers Care?

In today’s digital landscape, customers expect more than just basic antivirus solutions. They demand comprehensive security services that offer:

Consistent Revenue Streams

Transitioning to SECaaS allows for predictable, recurring income through subscription-based models.

Scalability

Easily adjust services to match customer growth or changing needs without significant overhead.

Enhanced Customer Trust

Offering proactive security measures positions you as a trusted advisor, not just a vendor.

Competitive Differentiation

Stand out by providing advanced security services that many competitors may not offer.

Data Sovereignty and Compliance

For Australian MSPs and resellers, data sovereignty is a critical concern. Sophos addresses this by:

Local Data Storage

With the Sydney data center, customer data is stored and managed within Australia, ensuring compliance with national data protection laws.

Regulatory Compliance

Sophos’s services are designed to meet various international and local compliance standards, providing assurance to customers in regulated industries.
