Model description

ROI model is based on Forcepoints research "Quantifying the Operational and Security Results of Switching to Forcepoint NGFW".

    • The interviewed organizations were large, ranging in size from under 1,000 employees to over 100,000 employees, based in EMEA and North America.

    • The average number of employees is 54,000.

    • Industries: Financial services, government, higher education, logistics, managed technology services, manufacturing, and software.They mostly deployed Forcepoint to replace a legacy firewall solution or as a net-add to their existing network security architectures.

    Reducing the Operational Impact of Security Events

    Network security incidents have the potential to exert a significant cost in terms of lost employee productivity and lost revenue. Employees are highly dependent on unimpeded access to IT systems and business applications. Thus they can be negatively affected by performance degradation, let alone outages or not having access to their devices. As a result, interruptions in access to systems and applications means that employees are not providing maximum value to their organizations

    Forcepoint NGFW allows to minimize the frequency and duration of network security events.

    • Number of Network security incidents was decreased by 69%
    • MTTR (Mean Time To Respond) decreased by 67%
    • Lost hours of productive time due to network security incidents decreased by 60%

    Less time for unplanned downtime and planned maintenance

    • Number of outages per year decreased by 38%
    • MTTR for unplanned outages descreased by 20%
    • Lost hours of productive time due to outages descreased by 19%
    • Number of maintenance events per year decreased by 70%
    • MTTR (hours) per maintenance event decreased by 52%
    • Lost hours of productive time due to planned maintenance decreased by 37%

    Network Security IT staff efficiency improvement

    • Total network security team hours decreased by 53%
