Case Study: Roads and Highways Department achieves robust protection against advanced malware and ransomware with Sophos

Trio of Sophos Products Protects Government Agency Against Advanced Malware

The Roads and Highways Department (Bangladesh) faced growing volumes of sensitive infrastructure data and rising advanced‑malware and ransomware risks that threatened operations, productivity, and project budgets. Seeking a single, easy‑to‑manage vendor to provide next‑gen endpoint and network protection, the agency chose Sophos and its suite of solutions—Sophos Central Endpoint Advanced, Intercept X, and XG 430 with FullGuard.

Sophos deployed 400 user licenses of Central Endpoint Advanced and Intercept X plus two XG 430 FullGuard appliances, delivering Synchronized Security that links endpoint and firewall telemetry to automate incident response. The solution blocked known and never‑before‑seen ransomware (via Intercept X/CryptoGuard), limited infection spread at the firewall, enforced off‑network web filtering and user‑level controls, and improved visibility—reducing incident‑response time, saving man‑hours, improving productivity, and helping control project costs.
