Case Study: The Boeing Company achieves continuous protection and reduced downtime with Forcepoint Next-Generation Firewall

Forcepoint Keeps The Boeing Company Protected Without Downtime

The Boeing Company, a leading multinational aerospace manufacturer, needed a next‑generation firewall that would protect its business without causing downtime or degrading user performance. Its previous solution suffered from inefficient one‑to‑many device provisioning and inconsistent policies across firewalls, creating operational and security challenges.

Boeing deployed the Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall with a remote implementation that didn’t require an on‑site technician. The change delivered measurable benefits: improved end‑user internet performance, a reduction in planned maintenance and unplanned outage windows from weeks to days, and faster incident response—making vulnerability monitoring and upkeep noticeably easier.
