What is Forcepoint CASB?

Forcepoint CASB promises to help eliminate security and compliance blindspots by providing visibility into users' devices and cloud apps.

The vendor promises the following benefits:
  • Discover and risk-prioritize all unsanctioned cloud use (Shadow IT) to quickly and easily determine if applications meet governance rules and avoid compliance issues
  • Unleash the power of BYOD with improved employee productivity and cost savings while ensuring security of employees and corporate resources in the cloud
  • Identify anomalous and risky user behavior in the cloud to stop malicious users, as well as clamp down on user activities that don’t meet best practices
  • Reduce the risk of exposing sensitive cloud data to unauthorized users in violation of governance and regulatory rules
  • Identify potentially inappropriate privilege escalation to prevent the impact associated with root account takeover
  • Implement geo-location-based access and activity monitoring for legitimate users and malicious actors
  • Track application usage for compliance, licensing, and cost savings of unused accounts

A wonderful security option for work from home!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The work from home model made the issue of remote security a bit complicated but it was quite easily resolved with this software. It is used to protect all the data in the cloud and avoids the leakage of vulnerable data. Any kind of suspicious activity is timely remedied because of the behaviour based security.
Pros and Cons
  • Web and content filtering
  • Behaviour-based live scrutiny
  • Integration with Forcepoint DLP
  • The cybersecurity database is quite wide and covers a variety of threats
  • A bit pricey as compared to other softwares
  • The customer service is quite lax so you're really on your own
  • The implementation process is a bit of a concern and is time-consuming
Likelihood to Recommend
It is appropriate for medium to large-scale enterprises, especially the ones that have remote employees. The live-monitoring feature is extremely useful in this case. However, the implementation and initial processing are headache-inducing so you definitely need a dedicated IT team. Be warned though, that not only is their interface quite complex, their customer service is also extremely unhelpful so you won't be able to implement this or tackle any issues without a skilled team. But if that isn't an issue, this is definitely worth a try!
Most Important Features
  • Behaviour-based live monitoring
  • Integration with Forcepoint DLP
  • Live diagnostics
Return on Investment
  • It has made remote security accessible and easy
  • Allowed the prevention of data breach
  • It was quite complicated in the beginning and caused our team unnecessary stress
Alternatives Considered
The interface of both the softwares is complex, but Forcepoint is certainly more complicated. But once you get past that, it is quite smooth and offers a lot of amazing features. It is one of the best options for remote security, although I would love to see more features - like encryption. The one place where it truly lacks is customer service, and since it has such an intricate implementation procedure, this one carries a lot of weight and needs to be improved to make this software even more accessible.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The solution helps us in monitoring shadow IT, monitoring BYOD environments usage of Office 365, identify risky user, identify data loss points and integrate with DLP.
Pros and Cons
  • Integration with Forcepoint DLP.
  • Excellent in monitoring shadow IT.
  • Cloud Monitoring can be conducted.
  • UEBA is excellent.
  • Syncing with local DLP solution is a problem.
  • API integration with Traditional Siem solution.
  • Does not provide granularity in UEBA.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is a fantastic solution but needs some customization. The automization and AI features will be a huge boost if implemented.
Return on Investment
  • The monitoring of Critical data is a huge boost.
  • Byod solution for integration with API is nice.
  • Cloud UEBA.
Alternatives Considered
We found its integration with our DLP a major plus point, commercial viability, ease of use where major deciding factors, apart from that we conducted a detailed POC of the product.
Other Software Used

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I help to solve some DLP problems with custom applications and some recognized applications.
Pros and Cons
  • Ease of implementation in different use cases
  • API integration on cloud apps
  • Excellent reports on shadow IT
  • Better reports
  • Better technical support
  • Better integration with other solutions as proxy and onpremise DLP
  • Did I say better support?
Likelihood to Recommend
I would not recommend it as I think the product needs better integration with other Forcepoint products and better technical support. In some cases, Forcepoint closes my tickets without an answer. On the other hand, integration is useless in some cases. A working OCR would be appreciated in the future, as well as a better DLP. The admin webpage had some problems, sometimes it didn't load correctly. And don't even try to use it on a mobile, it never works. I think the product is good, but it needs better integration (and the integration should work!!) and in my opinion, it's not a finished product. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would give it a 5.
Return on Investment
  • We are working on strategies to understand what to do with the information that CASB gave to us, it would be good if Forcepoint gives us a few key points but they haven't.
Alternatives Considered
