Case Study: Middle East Retailer achieves scalable, high-availability connectivity with Forcepoint NGFW

Middle East Retailer expands to 200 firewalls with Forcepoint and cuts MPLS costs by up to $2,500 per month per site

A major Middle East retailer faced significant challenges in supporting its rapid expansion plans due to a limited and underperforming firewall solution. The company needed a secure, scalable way to connect hundreds of new locations and securely move applications to the cloud. To address this, they turned to Forcepoint and its Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) product.

Forcepoint implemented its NGFW solution, which provided built-in SD-WAN capabilities for secure connectivity and enabled zero-touch deployment for easy rollout. The results included high network availability and a substantially reduced total cost of ownership, achieved by replacing expensive MPLS connections with DSL. The successful partnership led the retailer to also adopt Forcepoint Email Security, which drastically reduced spam and phishing attacks.
