Case Study: South American airline reduces security operational costs by 80% with Forcepoint Web Security Cloud

Cloud-based Web Security Provides a Tailwind for this Airline’s Digital Transformation

A Panama‑based airline operating since the early 20th century and generating over $2 billion annually was accelerating its digital transformation—moving Office 365 and other processes to the cloud—yet faced widening attack surfaces, an open web policy that increased user‑error risk, and the need to secure distributed and roaming users without slowing operations. The security team needed a way to protect off‑network activity while preserving the free flow of collaboration required for day‑to‑day work.

The company migrated its existing Forcepoint Web Security deployment from on‑premises to hybrid and then to full cloud in three months, preserving policies and leveraging integrated data loss prevention and cloud security. The cloud deployment eliminated on‑prem appliances, cut security operational costs by roughly 80–90%, maintained consistent policies for roaming users, and reduced latency for distributed staff—achieving the required protection with minimal disruption.
