Case Study: IBM Belgium achieves enhanced web security and simplified management with Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway

IBM - Customer Case Study

International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), a Global 500 computer services firm, faced low efficacy, difficult management, and limited scalability from its previous web security solutions as its workforce became more mobile and global. After evaluating vendors such as Symantec/Blue Coat and McAfee, IBM sought a more effective, flexible, and easy-to-manage web security platform.

IBM deployed Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway in a hybrid cloud and on‑premises configuration, chosen for its efficacy, deployment flexibility, and ease of management; implementation was rated very easy. The solution delivered real-time threat analysis, forensic dashboards, and centralized reporting, and expanded coverage with CASB, Advanced Malware Detection, and DLP — overall improving control of user internet activity and being rated very effective.
