Case Study: Midway Energy Services achieves centralized mobile endpoint security and rapid threat cleanup with Sophos Cloud

Midway Energy Services - Customer Case Study

Midway Energy Services, a Texas-based oil and gas services company with more than 600 employees and 11 locations, faced the challenge of securing a largely mobile workforce while being supported by a one-person IT department. After a previous antivirus solution caused performance problems with financial applications, Midway Energy Services turned to Sophos and deployed Sophos Cloud to gain centralized visibility and protection for field laptops and other Windows-based mobile devices.

Sophos Cloud provided a centralized dashboard, continuous endpoint scanning, automatic threat alerts, and a PUA cleanup feature that let the lone IT administrator remediate issues remotely with a click—saving “numerous hours” otherwise spent visiting machines and running scans. The Sophos deployment eliminated prior performance issues, improved control over personal devices accessing company assets, and gave Midway Energy Services and its users greater confidence that mobile connections and data access remain protected.
