Case Study: Genuine Parts Company improves web traffic security and bandwidth efficiency with Forcepoint Web Security Cloud

Genuine Parts Company safeguards 6,000 retail stores with Forcepoint Web Security Cloud

Genuine Parts Company, a major automotive parts distributor, faced the challenge of securing web traffic from its network of 6,000 independent and company-owned retail stores. Their primary concerns were preventing cybersecurity threats, managing bandwidth constraints, and maintaining network performance without having direct control over the independent retailers' endpoints. They partnered with Forcepoint to find a solution that would meet their unique business requirements.

Forcepoint implemented its Web Security Cloud solution, which provided secure, agentless traffic inspection that was centrally managed. This implementation led to a measurable reduction in endpoint infections and freed up bandwidth, allowing for the deployment of new applications without needing to increase network capacity. The results included improved security and business performance, solidifying a trusted, long-term partnership between Genuine Parts Company and Forcepoint.
