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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
My organization uses Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention across the organization to address PHI stored in the organization. The use of Forcepoint DLP has helped us discover the actual location where PHI resides and how the user shares the PHI. We are able to set a threshold on the amount of PHI to share externally and it will trigger the alarm to the administrator for further review.
Pros
  • Track location of PHI.
  • Track confidential information.
Cons
  • The implementation is tougher than we initially thought.
  • It would be great to just add the solution that requires seamless implementation.
Likelihood to Recommend
Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention does what we intended it to do. It tracks all PHI stored in the company and track the movement of PHI. It also has the capability to block the user from sharing PHI depending on how you have it on the setting. Overall, it is a return of investment for my company because it will prevent malicious insider from sharing valuable data to external parties.

2 years of experience
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is used in our organization to protect sensitive data from being sent digitally to other users either inside or outside of our organization from corporate devices. We use this in tandem with the Forcepoint endpoint protection as an all-in-one security suite to protect our users and our devices.
Pros
  • N/A, in our experience, the version of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention we used was bulky, difficult to install, and didn't meet our requirements well enough.
Cons
  • Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention -- customization in what we want to protect
  • In our experience, the client installed on computers is difficult, if not impossible, to fully uninstall
Likelihood to Recommend
The version of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention that we used internally was inadequate for our purposes. It was expensive, was limited in scope, and when we stopped using the product it was very difficult to fully uninstall from all of our endpoint devices.

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
Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is exceptional and has pleased me and IT. So far it has only been implemented at our headquarters. And the biggest problem we had was the fear of data leakage through corporate equipment and devices. This Forcepoint DLP solution now protects critical data through encryption and prevents information theft from our devices, even in cases of theft, where we create action plans to execute in those cases. Along with other tools, it has improved our information security and we are happy with this product.
Pros
  • Effective data leakage protection
  • Email security
  • URL filter
  • It has a graphical interface for creating security rules
  • Device information theft protection
  • Good price
Cons
  • URL filter with few categories
  • Small instabilities
Likelihood to Recommend
I would recommend Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention; it can be used in any scenario, best suited for small and medium-sized operations. It is easy to use and configure through its graphical interface, being able to create rules within rules, exceptions and add devices for specific users. It is a way to inhibit and protect the network from data theft that is now more serious than the hardware itself. Management can be done remotely and from any device. Forcepoint support is very good; we've already had an NGFW at a branch and we like the customer service.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is a data loss prevention software and due to the nature of this category, this tool is used as a web proxy all across our organization. It is used enterprise-wide in my organization. This tool has been installed on all of the PCs, laptops, and servers that we own. This software has ensured us how and when people are attempting to print, store, and even share data with potentially unauthorized teams.
Pros
  • It has predominantly protected us from unauthorized parties and has provided us with better visibility and control over our data.
  • This software has also successfully prevented us from both malicious and accidental tasks, which are quite flexible actions when it comes to the violation of data loss prevention policies.
  • This product has been successful in improving compliance and even mitigating compliance violations, which further facilitated IT security.
  • I think there is room for improvement, as the user interface is slightly rough and difficult to adopt in the beginning. The software also hangs up at a few instances, which leads to some wasting of time and annoyance, but other than that, this software is good. The technical staff should work on the complexities for a better user experience.
Cons
  • This tool would have been more effective if whitelisting was not restricted, as it should be able to adjust just so it can be read accurately.
  • Fingerprinting is a little too sensitive, which should also be further strengthened when files are found.
Likelihood to Recommend
I find this tool to be a great product, as it comes in really very handy. This product is great when it comes to scenarios where you are just trying to block some specific types of information and data out of your company.
