Case Study: Vidant Health achieves reduced outages, faster incident response, and lower TCO with Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall

Vidant Health - Customer Case Study

Vidant Health, a large healthcare enterprise, faced inefficient one-to-many device provisioning and exposure to advanced network threats, prompting a review of next‑generation firewall options (including Cisco). The organization needed consistent policy management, easier software updates, and a unified view of all firewalls to support critical business resources and uptime while minimizing human resources.

Vidant deployed Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall for its local implementation model, high‑availability clustering, strong IPS/anti‑evasion defenses, and interactive visual dashboards. The rollout delivered fewer cyberattacks and breaches, reduced planned maintenance and unplanned outages from weeks to days, cut IT management time, sped incident response from days to hours, improved end‑user internet performance, and lowered total cost of ownership.
