Case Study: HydraFacial (skincare company) achieves holistic cloud and endpoint defense with Sophos

Rapid Global Expansion Spurs Skincare Company to Build a Holistic Cloud and Endpoint Defense With Sophos.

HydraFacial, a Long Beach–based skincare device and consumables company experiencing rapid global expansion (80% growth last year, projecting 90% next year), needed to protect its proprietary device IP and a 100% cloud environment across 500 users. The company faced fragmented endpoint defenses, ransomware risk, mobile device exposure, and strict compliance requirements (GDPR, PCI, HIPAA), and sought a centralized, easy-to-manage security platform — choosing Sophos solutions including Sophos Intercept X Advanced, Sophos Mobile, Sophos Central Device Encryption, Sophos Central, and Sophos Phish Threat.

Sophos deployed a unified, cloud-managed stack (Sophos Central) with Intercept X Advanced for endpoints and servers, Sophos Mobile, device encryption, and Phish Threat, working with MSP PCM for implementation and alert triage. The result: centralized visibility and automated alerts to the service desk, faster incident response and proactive blocking, scalable protection for ~500 users, reduced mobile management effort, and measurable insights (e.g., identifying that 40% of attacks targeted executives) that helped HydraFacial secure budget and roll out a comprehensive security program within 90 days. Sophos’s integrated approach moved the company from reactive to proactive security and materially strengthened its defenses against ransomware and advanced threats.
