Public sector organizations, including schools and universities, require reliable and cost-effective security solutions to protect citizen data and maintain operational continuity against state-sponsored and opportunistic cyberattacks.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
While this specific SKU is for EDU, the core Sophos Central platform is vital for healthcare to protect patient data (HIPAA compliance) and ensure uninterrupted access to critical systems, often managed by IT teams with broad responsibilities.
