Overall Satisfaction with Forcepoint Web Security

It is used as a Web Filtering Agent by our entire organization. It helps keep our network safe by blocking websites with known issues. We recently deployed it to include SSL decrypt so each computer has a client on it. So far it has worked out well for us, and we plan on continuing to use it.
  • Filtering known bad websites
  • Adjusting Policies could use a more intuitive interface.
  • Finding a specific computer that has been put into a policy could be easier.
  • We are a City Government, so we don't really have "business objectives"--just keeping the city running.
I know our internet provider, the State of ND uses iBoss for web filtering. I don't have much experience with it personally, other than asking them to unblock a site.
  1. To keep users from going to known bad websites, it suites well.
  2. Having an open network such as a public network, it would not work well. This is what our public library has, and they advertise the ability for anyone to visit any website, so we do not utilize the filtering at this location.
