Case Study: Ross Stores achieves real-time threat analysis and enhanced reporting with Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway

Ross Stores - Customer Case Study

Ross Stores, a large retail enterprise, evaluated several web security vendors (including Symantec/Blue Coat and Palo Alto Networks) and found their reporting and research capabilities lacking. The company needed an on‑premises secure web gateway with strong efficacy, deployment flexibility, ease of management, and SIEM integration to support real‑time threat research and centralized reporting.

Ross deployed Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway on premises, citing an easy implementation and strong management features. The solution delivered real‑time threat analysis, forensic reporting via an advanced threat dashboard, and enhanced centralized reporting—earning high effectiveness ratings (with a note that Kafka integration was disappointing).
