Product Details

What is Forcepoint Email Security?

Forcepoint Email Security promises to help stop ransomware and other threats. The product uses the Advanced Classification Engine (ACE) to identify threats ranging from annoying spam to advanced malware, phishing, and Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks.

Another key benefit is to block data theft with content-aware DLP. The vendor says advanced capabilities detect data theft concealed in images or custom-encrypted files, even when gradually transmitted in small amounts to evade detection.

Finally, the product promises to help identify high-risk user behavior. The rich data collection capability can quickly generate a report on indicators of compromise to identify infected systems and suspicious user behavior.

Effective Spam Filtering: Reviewers have consistently praised the spam filter of Forcepoint Email Security for its high effectiveness in filtering out unwanted spam emails. By efficiently blocking unsolicited messages, this feature helps maintain a clutter-free inbox and reduces the risk of falling victim to phishing attempts or malware distribution through malicious links embedded in spam emails.

Lower Mail Throughput: Some users have reported that the virtual appliances in the Email Security software had lower mail throughput compared to the physical appliance, which could potentially impact email delivery speed and efficiency.

Attention Required for ESG Management: Several reviewers have mentioned that managing ESG, or Email Security Gateway, requires a significant amount of attention.

Lack of Support from Forcepoint: A number of customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the support provided by Forcepoint as a company. One user specifically mentioned that their experience was negatively impacted due to Forcepoint's lack of interest in resolving a critical issue with the software, where it would randomly refuse to recognize an authorized user. This lack of support affected the overall satisfaction with Forcepoint as a provider.

We utilize Forcepoint Email Security to secure our inbound and outbound email flow from current threats and to employ security features such as DKIM, DMARC, etc.
  • Ease of GUI
  • Rule creating very intuitive
  • Speed is not the best but its email not instant chat
Forcepoint Email Security is perfect for set and forget. Very little do I need to get in and that's to tailor a policy there are minimal issues I have encountered since using the product.

While the Cisco Email was a close second, the customization of the Forcepoint Email Security policies and reports is what won us over.
The support could be better, but the good thing is rarely having to call them.
