Case Study: National Bank of Fujairah strengthens data protection and compliance with Forcepoint DLP

National Bank of Fujairah reduces false positives and trains 6+ teams monthly with Forcepoint

National Bank of Fujairah (NBF) needed to comply with UAE Central Bank regulations and prevent the exfiltration of sensitive customer data. A significant challenge was securing stakeholder buy-in at all levels and transforming the workforce's data security culture from an obstacle into an advantage. To address this, the bank partnered with Forcepoint to implement its Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution.

Forcepoint's solution involved a detailed six-month Proof of Concept to understand data flows before deploying DLP in monitoring and then blocking mode. The implementation was supported by extensive training, including mandatory sessions for all impacted staff. The results were comprehensive; NBF successfully deployed full DLP blocking, achieving compliance with regulations like PCI-DSS and NESA. Forcepoint's technology, including sophisticated fingerprinting, reduced false positives, automated over 70 internal processes, and helped the bank meet its sustainability goals by reducing printed documents.
