Case Study: Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd achieves centralized, automated protection for 3,000+ devices with Sophos Central Endpoint Advanced and Intercept X

How Sophos helped MYDIN manage 3,000 connected devices

Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd, one of Malaysia’s largest retail and wholesale grocery chains with 73 outlets and 10,000 employees, faced high staff turnover, limited visibility across platforms, and time‑consuming manual desktop updates that left its estate exposed to ransomware and data‑theft risks. To modernize and scale its security, Mydin engaged Sophos and adopted Sophos Central Endpoint Advanced together with Sophos Intercept X for cloud‑based centralized management and advanced endpoint protection.

Sophos deployed a hybrid cloud/on‑premise solution—Sophos Central Endpoint Advanced plus Intercept X—providing centralized patching, real‑time visibility, and AI/deep‑learning malware detection across more than 3,000 connected devices. The rollout cut licensing overhead, sped troubleshooting, enabled simultaneous updates, and in the first month detected and quarantined a ransomware incident, preventing a major breach and delivering measurable gains in efficiency, scalability, and threat prevention for Mydin.
