Case Study: Havelaar & Van Stolk achieves ransomware protection and peace of mind with Sophos Intercept X

Havelaar & Van Stolk - Customer Case Study

Havelaar & Van Stolk, a 250‑staff financial services firm, suffered two cryptoware infections in one year that caused system outages and costly restorations. Working with partner Seven‑Winds, they engaged Sophos and implemented Sophos Intercept X alongside Sophos UTM upgraded with Sandstorm and Sophos Endpoint Security & Control to strengthen defenses against ransomware and zero‑day exploits.

Sophos deployed Intercept X, Sandstorm file/email scanning and full endpoint protection, and the results were immediate: reports show a very high number of malicious emails being intercepted and employees now receive far fewer suspicious messages. Sophos’ solution has reduced ransomware risk, cut down on verification requests from staff, prevented further downtime and given the operations team greater confidence in the company’s security.
