Case Study: Global Manufacturing Company achieves rapid enterprise-wide web protection with McAfee

Rapidly Deployed, Robust Web Protection with a Hybrid Security Solution

Global Manufacturing Company, a multinational manufacturer with 50,000 endpoints across 600+ sites worldwide, needed to protect a small IT security team from growing web-borne malware threats while also safeguarding intellectual property and meeting Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI, and HIPAA compliance requirements. The company was spending too much time remediating infected devices and handling a flood of helpdesk tickets, creating an urgent need for faster web security from McAfee.

McAfee implemented a hybrid web protection approach using McAfee Web Gateway Cloud Service, McAfee Web Gateway appliances, McAfee Client Proxy, and centralized management through McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator. This rapidly expanded protection to onsite, remote, and contractor users, reduced malware-related helpdesk tickets by 20%, and saved the company more than $1 million per year in manpower while improving productivity and streamlining MPLS network usage.
