Case Study: Aavas Financiers Ltd achieves next‑gen cybersecurity and data protection with Sophos

AAVAS Uses Sophos to Strengthen Cybersecurity Infrastructure with Advanced Security Solutions

Aavas Financiers Ltd, a fast‑growing housing finance company with ~2,500 staff, needed to protect large volumes of sensitive customer and company data from advanced malware, ransomware and zero‑day attacks while improving visibility, web/app control and simplifying security management. After evaluating options, Aavas selected Sophos and its cloud‑managed portfolio—including Sophos Central Endpoint Protection, Sophos XG Firewall and Synchronized Security—to replace legacy point products and standardize protection across headquarters and hundreds of branch offices.

Sophos implemented endpoint protection, deployed 220 XG Firewalls (218 over MPLS/VPN) with centralized Sophos Firewall Manager and enabled Sophos Security Heartbeat™ to synchronize endpoint and network intelligence. The result was immediate ROI and measurable business impact: marked reductions in IT downtime across multiple locations, fewer help‑desk security calls, improved employee productivity, lower internet costs via off‑network web filtering, and streamlined, centralized policy and threat management—delivering faster detection, automated remediation and significant time and cost savings for Aavas Financiers Ltd.
