Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys vs. Forcepoint Data Guard

Endpoint Protector [by CoSoSys] is well suited for an environment where a data loss prevention solution is required and many different operating system types are used. It is also well suited for an organization that has a need to deploy a solution quickly. Endpoint Protector is not well suited for companies that need to have an API or other integrations with other IT tools.

Scenarios where this solution suits well - 1) Zero Trust Network - wherever client wants a perfect ZTN enabled network + Compliant with standards like NIST 2) Huge Data / VIDEO transfer with cloud/AWS solutions like CDN and CloudFront - Able to connect easily 3) Hybrid networks - connect with various security policies 4) Secure data transfer which has UDP needs for traffic like syslog/UDP VoIP ports need

Endpoint Protector [by CoSoSys] was able to be installed on all major operating systems. Endpoint Protector was also able to perform block actions and do it at a granular level among the endpoints. Business needs required a traditional data loss prevention and Endpoint Protector met those needs. We had a need to block some USB storage events and Endpoint Protector met those needs.

Incentivized

1) Good satisfactory overall support 2) Relatively straight forward installation 3) Data Security 4) Cloud support which is big plus / multi cloud as well. Most of the clients are also very intelligent since they refer Gartner and other reports for statistical data. They do their homework well in advance hence we have to make sure we know the product well

• Didn’t work as expected
• Not sure yet if we are going to renew it, thankfully we didn’t make a 3 year contract required by them.
• The are not many options in the market for source code detection, so we may have to stick with it

Incentivized

• Since we are from cyber security, we are engaged in a multi-year relationship with clients that are interested in deploying ForcePoint.
• We have been strong pipeline in our current PoVs for European clients that are interested in this solution. They just want extended support to deploy it end-to-end
• Less costly training mandates, good training material available on the net
