Case Study: Raytheon achieves reduced downtime and faster incident response with Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall

Raytheon - Customer Case Study

Raytheon Company, a Global 500 aerospace and defense firm, faced inefficient one-to-many device provisioning and exposure to advanced network threats, and needed consistent policy management, faster deployments, and unified visibility across firewalls. They evaluated other vendors, including Cisco, before choosing a new solution.

Raytheon deployed Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall using centralized management, task scheduling, alert chains, integrated logging and high‑availability clustering. The result: reduced planned and unplanned maintenance from hours to minutes, less IT time managing networks, faster deployments and incident response (days to hours), and noticeably improved end‑user internet performance.
