Case Study: Universidad San Sebastián strengthens campus-wide cybersecurity with Sophos MDR and XDR

Universidad San Sebastián protects 31,000 students across five campuses with Sophos

Universidad San Sebastián, a major university in Chile with over 31,000 students, faced the challenge of protecting its extensive digital ecosystem from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. The shift to remote work and a large user base connecting with personal devices made endpoints a critical vulnerability, increasing exposure to phishing and credential theft. The university needed a unified and proactive security approach to ensure operational continuity.

The university implemented Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Sophos Extended Detection and Response (XDR) to modernize its security operations. This solution provided expert-led, continuous threat detection and response, unified visibility across all endpoints, and automated protections. As a result, Sophos helped the university significantly reduce its exposure to phishing, improve threat response times, optimize security operations, and strengthen overall operational continuity, allowing its IT team to focus on strategic initiatives.
