Case Study: AUSL Modena achieves rapid web and email threat protection with Forcepoint Web & Email Security

AUSL Modena - Customer Case Study

AUSL Modena is a public healthcare organization in Italy serving the Modena province with about 8,800 staff and roughly 5,000 on-site users across hospitals and local offices. Faced with rising web- and email-delivered threats—including past ransomware (Cryptolocker) breaches—and an aging proxy/spam setup, the organization needed more precise, user-focused controls and better protection for sensitive patient and administrative data.

AUSL Modena deployed Forcepoint Web Security and Email Security with implementation support from IFIConsulting to gain unified, granular protection across web and email channels. The solution improved access controls and automated threat handling—blocking about 120,000 malicious emails (≈85% of traffic, ~30 GB) within 24 hours—reduced desktop malware interventions, sped IT response, and delivered rapid ROI, prompting consideration of a move to Forcepoint cloud services.
