Case study: Sussex Health Informatics Service
Sussex Health Informatics Service (HIS) manages the IT services for eleven National Health Service (NHS) trusts throughout the county.
Its deployment of a new consolidated security suite from Sophos has helped tighten the security of its 25,000 user network from the email gateway to the endpoint computers, while the easy-to-use management features have eased pressure on IT resources.
"The technical superiority of the Sophos solution means we can ensure the integrity of all 11 trusts with just a mouse click."
