Case Study: Global U.S. Airline achieves rapid GDPR compliance and comprehensive data protection with Forcepoint DLP

Major U.S. Airline Rapidly Deploys Unified Security Solution and Staff Capabilities Soar

A major U.S. Fortune 500 airline operating flights in more than 50 countries with 80,000 employees faced urgent security risks: it needed to meet the EU GDPR deadline, protect vast amounts of passenger and proprietary data across on-premises and cloud systems, and replace a patchwork of point products that overwhelmed staff with false positives—made worse by a shortage of experienced cybersecurity analysts.

The airline partnered with Forcepoint to deploy the full Forcepoint DLP Suite enterprise-wide, leveraging rapid virtualized deployment, predefined policies, built-in analytics and incident risk ranking to move quickly from audit to automated blocking. The result was faster, more accurate investigations, reduced false positives, comprehensive visibility of data at rest/in use/in motion, GDPR compliance, and a measurable boost in staff effectiveness and confidence.
