Case Study: GHCL Limited achieves integrated, unified cybersecurity across distributed sites with Sophos

Sophos Addresses the Holistic Security Needs of a Leader in Chemicals & Textiles

GHCL Limited, a diversified chemicals and textiles manufacturer with distributed production sites, faced limited visibility, inconsistent access control, and legacy security that left endpoints and servers exposed—especially with remote work. To build a centrally managed, layered cybersecurity posture they selected Sophos, deploying solutions including Sophos XG Firewall, Sophos Intercept X Advanced (for endpoints, servers and mobile), and Sophos Central Device Encryption managed from the unified Sophos Central console.

Sophos, working with its implementation partner and Professional Services, deployed XG Firewalls in high‑availability, Intercept X Advanced for 800 endpoints and 88 servers, mobile protection and device encryption, with synchronized threat intelligence across network and endpoints. The result: ROI on security appliances improved ~50%, capital expenses on appliances fell ~50%, IT man‑hours spent on incident response dropped by 90%, and threats to servers and endpoints fell by 90–100%, while improved visibility, VPN access and centralized logging helped meet compliance and speed incident response.
