Technology Category	Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Cloud Computing
Applicable Functions	Business Operation Discrete Manufacturing
Use Cases	Cybersecurity
Services	Cloud Planning, Design & Implementation Services Cybersecurity Services
Challenge	The company was dealing with underperforming and inflexible web and email security solutions, which were generating an average of 350 incidents each week, including false positives, that required staff time to investigate. This created a significant management burden for the company’s IT Infrastructure division. The company needed a new solution that could reduce the number of necessary investigations through better efficacy, thereby generating fewer false positives. In addition, centralized management and reporting capabilities would make investigations more efficient and reduce staffing needs. The company also needed a solution that could support their future challenges of moving to the cloud. Read More
About Customer	The customer is a leading European packaging enterprise with 45,000 employees across 33 countries and billions in revenue. The company is one of the world’s leading providers of paper-based packaging and is focused on delivering customer growth through smart insights. The company is innovative and believes that addressing the entire packaging lifecycle can make a difference—from the production line through to consumers. It partners with customers to develop new approaches that take packaging to the next level. The company is also focused on its digital transformation and moving its operations to the cloud. Read More
Solution	The company implemented a highly tunable Forcepoint Web and Email Security solution. The solution was flexible and easy to manage, which was a critical requirement for a security solution for such a large and distributed organization. The company chose a cloud deployment for email to stop threats sooner. Web Security recently transitioned from a hybrid deployment to cloud-only to support their continued shift away from on-premises appliances. Forcepoint’s integrated DLP, which protects against data infiltration, exfiltration, and people-based vulnerabilities, helps further reduce risk. They’re now better able to comply with relevant data regulations like GDPR. Read More Log in to view content
