Case Study: Leading Western European Water Company achieves zero malware detections and continuous web protection with Trustwave Secure Web Gateway

Leading Water Company - Customer Case Study

Leading Water Company, a regional supplier serving about 2.5 million people across four municipal areas, faced a critical security gap: it still relied on a Forcepoint (Websense) URL filter installed in 1997 that could not keep up with modern web use and emerging threats. Seeking proactive, content-scanning protection, the company engaged Trustwave and adopted the Trustwave Secure Web Gateway.

Trustwave deployed its Secure Web Gateway to provide real-time content scanning and malware detection, eliminating the hundreds of malware incidents that had previously slipped through each year. The switch delivered measurable results—where the company saw 250 virus detections in one year under the old Websense system, it reported zero detections in the year after implementing Trustwave’s SWG—while reducing management overhead and improving operational continuity.
