U.K.-headquartered cybersecurity firm Sophos is implementing layoffs, the company confirmed to TechCrunch on Thursday.

The news comes less than two weeks after Sophos completed its $859 million acquisition of U.S. cybersecurity company Secureworks.

In an emailed statement to TechCrunch, Sophos spokesperson Sara Eberle said the layoffs will impact “roughly 6% of our combined companies.” Sophos declined to confirm the exact number of employees affected and refused to disclose the company’s current headcount.

Sophos stated that the workforce reduction is a result of “positions that are no longer needed following Secureworks’ delisting as a public company and streamlining duplicative roles as a consequence of the acquisition.”

This is not the first time Sophos has undertaken layoffs in recent years. In 2023, the company conducted a global restructuring, laying off 10% of its workforce — approximately 450 employees — which was explained as a measure to achieve “the optimal balance of growth and profitability.”
