Forcepoint
It is appropriate for medium to large-scale enterprises, especially the ones that have remote employees. The live-monitoring feature is extremely useful in this case. However, the implementation and initial processing are headache-inducing so you definitely need a dedicated IT team. Be warned though, that not only is their interface quite complex, their customer service is also extremely unhelpful so you won't be able to implement this or tackle any issues without a skilled team. But if that isn't an issue, this is definitely worth a try!

  • Broadcom CloudSOC CASB also needs to more focus on data classification, Classification will help to control the false positive & fast negative.

We were using Broadcom Symantec Endpoint security Enterprise, Hybrid subscription services & DLP solution at prem, which helped us in CloudSoC CASB Use Case & we have seen PoC of same, which was easy to integrate with existing security architectures. Overall they have offered us the best commercial in comparison with competitors.

The interface of both the softwares is complex, but Forcepoint is certainly more complicated. But once you get past that, it is quite smooth and offers a lot of amazing features. It is one of the best options for remote security, although I would love to see more features - like encryption. The one place where it truly lacks is customer service, and since it has such an intricate implementation procedure, this one carries a lot of weight and needs to be improved to make this software even more accessible.

  • We are working on strategies to understand what to do with the information that CASB gave to us, it would be good if Forcepoint gives us a few key points but they haven't.
