Case Study: Mississippi Secretary of State achieves stronger mobile security and 50% cost savings with Check Point Software SandBlast Mobile

Mississippi Secretary of State's Office Secures Mobile Devices, Gaining Peace of Mind and Significant Savings

The Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office, which supports eight divisions and about 100 executives who use personal mobile devices for work, needed enterprise-grade, cross‑platform protection that was transparent to users and easier to manage. Their previous antivirus solution was resource‑heavy, took up to 30 minutes per device to install, wasn’t integrated with other security infrastructure, and left high‑value users exposed while traveling or on public Wi‑Fi.

After a successful proof‑of‑concept, the office deployed Check Point SandBlast Mobile, which installs in two to three minutes and runs cloud‑based app analysis to block malicious apps, stop Man‑in‑the‑Middle attacks, and disable risky networks. The solution provided consistent Android and iOS protection, integrated threat intelligence with Check Point’s platforms, restored staff productivity, and delivered roughly 50% cost savings compared with the previous solution.
