Forcepoint Data Guard vs. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention

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

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is ideal for a 365 E5 enterprise organization where Azure directory is your 'source of truth' for user management and security policies. It is suited for using OneDrive as personal file management and SharePoint as collaborative files storage. Allows delineation of scanning various assets based on job function and department (as defined by Azure groups etc.). No additional cost if you are already invested in an E5 enterprise environment (for most functions, MS has additional DLP product enhancements)

• Integrates extremely well with client's SIEM environment
• Secure Data transfer / bidirectional
• Syslog capabilities which helps us to parse the logs well enough
• Less time / Fast

• Adaptive Protection is one of the coolest capabilities in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention especially from the aspect of DLP. Over time, it starts analyzing risky documents and/or contents in the M365 (or O365) environment and starts securing them automatically based on the current available settings.
• The wide variety of options while creating policies helps in covering number of different scenarios and thus offers more secure and broader coverage of content.
• Activity explorer (specifically Analytics) provides a very helpful and informative bird's eye view of all the activities happening around while ensuring a provision of being notified in real time about any suspicious activity.

• I wonder if we can think of integrating it with Firewall Rule Management solutions like Tufin, not sure if API supports or not.
• Custom Reporting capabilities tailored for CISO/GISO level client folks
• Automation /ease of custom scripting - assistance from Forcepoint support for the same

Incentivized

• The Data Loss Prevention tools don't seem to integrate well with other DLP tools Microsoft provides, like those built into Exchange Online. Data is missed when it should be blocked from being sent.
• The way Purview contributes to the overall Microsoft Security Score can be a bit difficult to tell, it's not clear what is being applied to improve the score and other management windows need to be accessed to address suggestions.

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is super difficult.

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

overall better coverage and integration with Microsoft products. also, it was the most reasonable solution for us

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

Incentivized

• It has helped us to prevent data breaches and protect them from data loss.
• It has strong visibility on the activities related to data copy to and from removable devices.
• It can easily enforce the policies on group of users and also exclude some in the exclusions
