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

Rapidly Deployed, Robust Web Protection with a Hybrid Security Solution

Global Manufacturing Company, a multinational diversified manufacturer with 50,000 endpoints across 600+ sites worldwide, needed a faster way to protect its global workforce from web-borne malware while also safeguarding intellectual property and meeting compliance requirements. With a small IT security team overwhelmed by malware remediation and helpdesk volume, the company turned to McAfee and its web protection offerings, including McAfee Web Gateway Cloud Service.

McAfee implemented a hybrid security approach that began with cloud-based web filtering and malware detection, then expanded to on-premises McAfee Web Gateway appliances and McAfee Client Proxy for consistent protection on and off the corporate network. The results were significant: time to enterprise-wide web protection accelerated, malware-related helpdesk tickets dropped 20%, MPLS usage was streamlined, and end-user productivity improved, delivering more than $1 million in annual manpower savings.
