The Challenge
Cellcom Israel Ltd., the leading cellular provider in Israel, faced a significant challenge when a serious data leak occurred. The company realized that their sensitive data needed to be better identified, monitored, and protected from potential misuse. As a result of this high-profile security breach, Cellcom assessed its data security situation and decided to look for a data loss prevention solution that would ensure valuable company data was identified and kept inside the organization.
About The Customer
Cellcom Israel Ltd. was established in 1994 and is now the leading cellular provider in Israel. Cellcom provides its 3 million subscribers with a range of value-added services including cellular and landline telephones, roaming services for tourists in Israel as well as additional services including music, video, and mobile office technology. It has 6,000 employees and operates 360 retail outlets and 30 customer service centers across Israel. Cellcom is a public company and its shares are traded both on the New York Stock Exchange and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
The Solution
Cellcom had already been using Forcepoint Web Security for a number of years to protect its network from Web threats and to monitor Web usage so it was familiar with the comprehensive protection of the Forcepoint security portfolio. After looking at a number of solutions on the market, Cellcom selected Forcepoint DLP to detect and prevent unauthorized use of confidential company information. Forcepoint DLP enabled Cellcom to understand their position in terms of data security risk and then define a remediation strategy. Using this intelligence, Cellcom put together a set of policy-based controls, which was then published to employees and enforced by Forcepoint DLP.
