Case Study: Egypt's Private Sector Bank achieves 95% drop in cyberattacks and zero-day protection with Forcepoint

Egyptian Bank Depends on Forcepoint to Assist in Bridging the Digital Divide

An award-winning Egyptian private bank (founded 1975) serving over 500,000 clients and about 6,000 employees has been expanding digital banking to increase financial inclusion for underserved, often tech‑novice customers. As its digital services grew, the bank faced a rise in targeted email threats — including executive phishing and zero‑day malware — that put personal and financial data at risk and required a 99% spam‑detection SLA plus user-focused phishing education.

The bank deployed Forcepoint Email Security and Advanced Malware Detection, integrated with its existing Forcepoint Web Security and Next Generation Firewall and backed by sandboxing and a customized phishing‑coaching feature. Outcomes included 0 zero‑day attacks, a 95% drop in email‑based cyberattacks, 99% of spam correctly quarantined, 100% malware sandbox detection, faster incident reporting, and strengthened customer trust to support continued digital growth.
