Case Study: FXCM achieves centralized, high-performance global network security with Check Point Software

FXCM - Customer Case Study

FXCM Inc., a global online foreign-exchange broker serving about 200,000 retail customers and 200 institutional clients across 15 offices, needed a high‑performance, scalable network security solution that could be deployed regionally and managed centrally by a small team while meeting strict regulatory requirements (PCI, SOX, CFTC).

FXCM implemented Check Point 12000 and 4000 series appliances (plus 4200/4800 models) with Software Blades for Firewall, IPS, IPsec VPN, DLP, Application Control and URL filtering, managed via Multi‑Domain Security Management. The deployment delivered multi‑gigabit/10Gb performance and redundancy, centralized “single‑pane” management and reporting, faster compliance audits, reduced hardware costs and a unified, layered security posture.
