Case Study: Ferrellgas achieves proactive endpoint protection and blocks half a million spam emails monthly with Sophos

Ferrellgas - Customer Case Study

Ferrellgas, a Fortune 1000 propane distributor with more than 2,000 users (1,600 remote), was plagued by viruses, adware, spyware and massive spam while its previous anti‑virus solution was cumbersome and reactive—threats were only discovered when users reported them and infected PCs often had to be shipped back for re‑imaging. The company turned to Sophos and selected Sophos Endpoint Security and Control along with the Sophos ES1000 Email Appliance to address endpoint and email gateway protection.

Sophos deployed Endpoint Security and Control (with Professional Services support) and the ES1000 Email Appliance, giving Ferrellgas centralized, proactive threat monitoring and easy remote remediation. The Sophos solution now eradicates threats at the desktop and blocks roughly half a million unwanted emails each month, eliminates frequent Helpdesk virus tickets (saving about two hours per week), and lets technicians clean infected machines remotely instead of re‑imaging.
