Case Study: Shore achieves robust 24/7 ransomware protection and faster recovery with Sophos

Sophos goes above and beyond to protect Shore against escalating cyber-attacks

Shore (Sydney Church of England Grammar School) is a North Sydney independent school serving about 1,700 students and 300 staff, responsible for protecting 1,400 student mailboxes and sensitive student records. Facing escalating cyberattacks that increasingly target education, Shore expanded its long-standing relationship with Sophos to move beyond just Sophos Endpoint and build a more holistic, proactive cybersecurity posture.

Sophos deployed Sophos Firewall, Sophos Central, Intercept‑X and Sophos MDR with Rapid Response and 24/7 threat hunting, proactively alerting Shore during a 2021 encryption event, containing the outbreak and preventing serious harm. The Sophos solution reduced notification fatigue, sped recovery and now protects more than 2,000 students and staff, delivering measurable time and cost savings and greater operational confidence.
