Case Study: NHS England secures 6,800 mobile workers with Check Point Software's SandBlast Mobile

NHS England provides 7,000 agile workers with Check Point secured mobile devices

NHS England, the body that sets standards and oversees commissioning for healthcare in England, faced a growing need to secure a largely mobile workforce—almost all staff use mobile devices. The IT team needed to simplify device management, ensure secure access for roughly 6,800 users, gain clearer visibility into mobile threats, and meet UK Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR requirements.

NHS England deployed Check Point SandBlast (Harmony) Mobile, integrated with IBM MaaS360, providing cloud-based dashboards and real-time protection against malware, phishing, OS exploits and malicious apps. The solution now secures and manages devices for 6,800 users, warns on unsecured connections, streamlines administration and reporting, raises in-house security expertise, and helped the organization achieve regulatory compliance.
