What is Forcepoint DLP?

Forcepoint DLP promises to address human-centric risk by providing visibility and control everywhere your people work and everywhere your data resides. Security teams apply user-risk scoring to focus on the events that matter most and to accelerate compliance with global data regulations.

The vendor promises these benefits:
  • Accelerate compliance
  • Empower people to protect data
  • Advanced detection and controls that follow the data

RESPOND AND REMEDIATE RISK
Traditional approaches to DLP overload users with false positives while missing data at risk. Forcepoint DLP applies advanced analytics to correlate seemingly unrelated DLP events into prioritized incidents. Incident Risk Ranking (IRR) provided with Forcepoint DLP fuses disparate DLP indicators into a framework of Bayesian belief networks to assess the likelihood of data risk scenarios, such as data theft and broken business processes.

VISIBILITY EVERYWHERE YOUR PEOPLE WORK, CONTROL EVERYWHERE YOUR DATA RESIDES
Today’s enterprises are challenged with complicated environments, where data is everywhere and requires the protection of data in places that aren’t managed or owned by the enterprise. Forcepoint DLP for Cloud Applications extends analytics and DLP policies to critical cloud applications so your data is protected, wherever it resides.

Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention
3 years of experience
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is used across the organization. As a financial institution it is imperative that we take steps to insure customer data and ensure that when sensitive data leaves the organization it is done in a secure manner for sound business purposes. Forcepoint DLP is one of the tools we use to flag attachments and messages that may contain customer PII or proprietary information. Mistakes happen, so educating users is not an adequate preventive control.
Pros
  • Provisioning canned policies such as PII, PCI and PHI data detection.
  • Ability to detect sensitive data in compressed (zipped) attachments.
Cons
  • Inability to OCR and detect PII delivered as a screenshot or image file.
  • Lacking ability to alert when compressed file is password protected.
Likelihood to Recommend
Google Drive allows a user to browse locally using an applet that resembles Windows Explorer. In this scenario, Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is unable to enforce restrictions. Therefore, the only preventive control is to block Google Drive entirely, which reduces access to cloud storage solutions.

Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention fulfills its purpose very well.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention solution has been used throughout our organization's region. There are two main problems to be solved with Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention: the first is protecting critical data on employee devices, such as smartphones, pen drives, and notebooks, regardless of their location, and the second is strengthening web security with resources for endpoint protection, with web content filtering, email security, and proxy. The experience has been positive and my team and I are enjoying it; security has been improved and problems have decreased.
Pros
  • Web content filter and proxy
  • Can be expanded on demand
  • Prevents theft of corporate information
  • Fingerprint feature
  • Cryptography
  • High-level and quality Forcepoint support
Cons
  • More customization is lacking in the web content filter feature
  • Reports of some false positives
  • GUI is not so fluid
Likelihood to Recommend
It requires a certain knowledge in information security but the solution is very good and we recommend it for any scenario. It's a way to enhance security, prevent theft of sensitive device information, and maintain an extra layer of security with URL filtering. Overall, it's easy to use and set up. Forcepoint support is a good thing and I liked it when I asked for technical support to do a configuration. The solution can be a good alternative to protect USB pen drives and prevent information theft in case of unpredictable theft.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Websense Data Security Suite was used to monitor users to detect transmission of company confidential documents. The DSS solution was fairly successful in this effort and helped us to detect many violations of our corporate policies. The cautions for this product are scalability and reliability. The DSS product seems to have issues scaling above 8000 to 10000 nodes.
Pros
  • Keyword matching is very good.
  • Large list of applications that can be monitored.
  • Reporting is very user friendly.
Cons
  • We had issues scaling the management environment to over 10,000 nodes.
  • We had many false positives with the fingerprinting technology.
  • The agent can be a large drag on endpoints.
Likelihood to Recommend
The product seems to be more suited to mid size and small businesses than to large enterprises.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Ws are using this product to prevent data from leakage from internal environment to outside public environment. We have deployed this product on all internal systems via endpoints and also on our email server. This product captures DLP incidents with very less false positives and it is very good in functionality.We can easily deploy policies and it has a easy to use interface.
Pros
  • Incidents identification and escalation is easy
  • Policy deployment is easy
  • Blocking access to users
Cons
  • Deployment on multiple servers is difficult
  • Data discovery can be improved
  • Machine learning technique can be improved
Likelihood to Recommend
It's very user friendly and easy to use. Rules can be managed on user-friendly interface web site console. For-example, violation can be release via management module. It provide prevention sensitive data against accidental data loss and compromised. Rule set sometimes work, sometimes does not work. There is no OCR feature. Forcepoint DLP tool does not have any AI feature that can learn user behavior or data and produces alarm.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are a solutions provider to our clients who are facing compliance and security issues. There are multiple modules in Forcepoint and we recommend clients start their data loss prevention journey with Forcepoint Endpoint Data Loss Prevention and later on to move to Forcepoint Network Data Loss Prevention. Forcepoint Endpoint Data Loss Prevention takes time to be established in the client environment and multiple policy fine-tunings are required to remove the false positives. We also recommended starting the data loss prevention journey with a small fraction of users--say 50 and 100 users at the initial level.
Pros
  • The Forcepoint Endpoint Data Loss Prevention Endpoint module is applied to secure data being used at endpoints, like from Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft capabilities, also other functions like email and FTP, Active Sync, etc. It secures the data in use at the endpoint.
  • The Forcepoint Endpoint Data Loss Prevention Network Module is applied for the traffic being used in network capabilities like email, FTP, and web. It also secures the data on the move in the network.
  • Forcepoint Data Discover--the capability to discover the data which is sensitive for the organization and lies across the network; with the discovery tool, we can define the data, which is important based on regulatory and compliance risk.
  • OCR (optical character recognition) capabilities also come with the Data Discover Module, by which we can see the embedded text inside the image and that helps to prevent sensitive data theft.
Cons
  • Forcepoint technical support--specially for users who go with essential support--is challenging to get support on time. You need the ticket to be raised long beforehand to get support from TAC. However, in the case of enterprise support, its is not like this technical person will come on a priority basis.
  • However it comes with higher prices, especially for SMB, it is allowed to pay that amount for support only.
Likelihood to Recommend
Forcepoint Endpoint Data Loss Prevention suited the environment where data movement is heavily regulated and complies with compliance like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC Type-2, etc. Also, if the organization wants to see a holistic view of the security posture of the organization and imports logs from endpoints and network for data movement. The best part of Forcepoint Endpoint Data Loss Prevention is the reporting part, while another OEMs in the market share logs details only, Forcepoint Endpoint Data Loss Prevention has a reporting part where you can generate reports with compliance format. Forcepoint Endpoint Data Loss Prevention also integrates with different SIEM solutions available in the market.
