Case Study: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries achieves centralized, cost-effective endpoint security and saves 360+ admin hours/month with Check Point Software

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. - Customer Case Study

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ Takasago Machinery Works, a heavy‑machinery manufacturer exporting to 40 countries, faced a critical endpoint security challenge: protecting 8,500 factory PCs from emerging Windows vulnerabilities, stopping confidential data leakage via unauthorized communication programs, and maintaining business continuity with centralized, enforceable security and update management.

They deployed Check Point Endpoint Security agents on all 8,500 PCs, providing integrated capabilities—full disk and media encryption, port protection, firewall, antivirus, real‑time monitoring and quarantine, and Active Directory integration—for centralized policy and automated updates. In two years the solution detected ~30,000 communication programs and eliminated 250 unauthorized applications, prevented wider infection before definition files arrived, saved IT teams more than 360 hours per month, and proved more cost‑effective than a DHCP‑server‑based approach.
