Case Study: Colacem achieves an 80% reduction in malware assistance and stronger web security with Forcepoint Web Security Hybrid

Colacem Achieves a More Sophisticated Web Security Strategy with Forcepoint

Colacem, a leading Italian cement producer with 900 employees and €192M in revenue, faced rising advanced web threats and a growing number of remote users that outpaced its open-source, role-based web security. The existing solution only provided basic antivirus detection and limited profiling, was costly to maintain, and could not reliably defend against sophisticated, multistage attacks.

Colacem deployed Forcepoint Web Security Hybrid to provide real-time protection for onsite and roaming users, enforcing consistent enterprise browsing policies. The rollout cut individual endpoint malware assistance requests by up to 80%, improved reporting to block access to malicious sites, and—supported by targeted executive training—streamlined helpdesk interactions and suspicious-activity reporting, freeing IT to focus on higher‑priority work.
