Case Study: Jindal SAW Limited achieves enhanced security, zero breaches and Rs.12 lakh annual savings with Sophos XG Firewall

Steel Manufacturer strikes gold with the Sophos XG Firewall

Jindal SAW Limited, a global iron and steel pipe manufacturer, faced escalating virus and ransomware attacks and struggled with a legacy, siloed security setup that lacked automatic response, visibility, and gateway services. To address these gaps, Jindal SAW evaluated and selected Sophos, deploying Sophos XG Firewall appliances (XG 430/XG 450) across its network.

Sophos implemented XG Firewall as the gateway, adding HTTPS inspection, Sophos Sandstorm deep‑learning threat protection, SMS‑integrated MFA, user‑level access controls and load balancing. The result: zero breaches since deployment, granular visibility and policy enforcement, and a quantified savings of Rs. 12 lacs (≈USD 20,000) per year by avoiding an ISP upgrade while improving voice/video performance and reducing IT management overhead.
