Sophos Endpoint Security and Control

Customer Challenges:

This UAE based Oil and Gas Company is one of the largest marketer of Oil and Gas products supplying residential, industrial/commercial, and agricultural services to approximately one million customers across in the UAE, the company’s network includes more than 2,000 users.
For a company of this size, threat detection can be a challenge. And the solution this company had been using was ineffective and difficult to manage at the endpoint.

The company was experiencing problems with viruses, adware, spyware and spam. Their previous anti-virus solution was cumbersome and the protection it offered was unsatisfactory.

How GetMax did it?

  1. To deploy a solution for more computing power for their IT systems
  2. GetMax Professional Services team worked with the leading Oil and Gas industry every step of the way to design architect for deployment of Sophos Endpoint Security and Control because of it’s unique company structure.
  3. Final presentation of approved solution to their management team on Sophos Endpoint Security and Control and getting a sign-off for the project.

Results:

  1. Before switching to Sophos, this leading Oil and Gas company was unable to view and monitor threats, leaving them potentially vulnerable and occupying too much of its IT administrators’ time with mundane tasks.
  2. Since switching to Sophos, their technicians have been able to eradicate threats at the endpoint computer and at the email gateway. Sophos has proven to be a tremendous timesaver because it used to be that they’d spend several hours cleaning viruses off of laptops and desktops. The benefits of Endpoint Security and Control have allowed them to focus their efforts in other areas.
  3. The Sophos endpoint solution simplified management for the company, enabling threats to be monitored at the desktop level. Technicians could now automatically deploy and manage the assessment, control and protection from one console by giving them the ability to centrally manage their devices and users.

Implementation of Sophos Endpoint Security and Control:

  1. GetMax, Certified Sophos partner was chosen because of their proven track record in the security implementation for leading industries in UAE. So GetMax replaced the ineffective endpoint security solution they had with Sophos Endpoint Security and Control.
  2. For GetMax, Sophos’s small virus definitions and the frequency of updates were a major factor in the selection of Sophos Endpoint Security and Control for this leading oil and gas industry. Thus GetMax was able to provide them the best solution for their problem.
  3. With Sophos Endpoint Security and Control GetMax enabled their technicians to proactively eradicate threats to our PCs and laptops in the field.
  4. Technicians could now automatically deploy and manage the assessment, control and protection from one console.
