Case Study: Galeno Argentina achieves ransomware protection and simplified security management with Sophos

Galeno Argentina - Customer Case Study

Galeno Argentina S.A., a healthcare HMO with about 2,500 users and more than 30 years of operations, was repeatedly hit by ransomware and advanced malware that encrypted patient files and disrupted care across more than 50 branches and 150 clinics. Needing stronger endpoint, email and web protection, simpler centralized management, and better vendor support after Symantec and TMG failed to stop zero‑day threats, Galeno selected Sophos and deployed Sophos Endpoint Protection Advanced, Sophos Sandstorm for Email Protection, and Sophos UTM Web Protection.

Sophos implemented an integrated stack—Endpoint Protection, Sandstorm cloud sandboxing and UTM—for endpoint, email and network defense, with fast Sandstorm deployment and a centralized console for easier management. Sophos stopped zero‑day threats and ransomware, restored visibility across endpoints, and delivered measurable impact: hundreds of non‑service hours saved, elimination of the 2–3 day cleanups previously required after attacks, protection for 2,500 users across branches and clinics, and restored confidence in uninterrupted patient care.
