Case Study: Indian Power Distributing Company achieves enhanced data protection and regulatory readiness with Forcepoint

Indian Power Distributor Stays Ahead of Evolving Privacy Regulations

A state power distributor in India that supplies energy to five utilities and over 25 million residents needed to strengthen protections for large volumes of personal and financial customer data and get ahead of anticipated national privacy regulations. Its existing web-security and firewall tools were inflexible, poorly integrated, and left gaps—exposing risks from Shadow IT and third‑party data centers.

The utility deployed Forcepoint Web Security, Data Loss Prevention, Insider Threat and NGFW to unify URL filtering and proxy functions, apply role‑based policies, surface Shadow IT, monitor user intent, and protect data across internal and third‑party environments. The integrated solution improved visibility and control, simplified administration, increased intrusion prevention and uptime, and left the organization confident in its data protection and readiness for future privacy laws.
