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

- 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.

A data loss prevention software which is doing good
- 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.
- 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.

Stop Data Leakage
- Performing finger printing
- Performing discovery tasks

A trusted leader in data security
- 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.
- 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.

Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention is a solid product but there is room for improvement.
- Tracks Removeable media based events well
- Provides in depth forensic analysis
- Whitelisting is limited. It should be adjusted so multi-tiered rules can be used accurately
- Fingerprinting can be too sensitive and when similar (not exactly the same) files are found, it can impede production
