The digital age presents a complex landscape where the web is both a critical business tool and a significant security risk. Data breaches, policy violations, productivity losses, and malware infections are constant threats. The emergence of GenAI technologies amplifies these risks while offering potential productivity gains.
Forcepoint ONE provides a solution by balancing web security and usability. We are going to dive into a few use cases.
Fast, Secure Web Access
Traditional web security solutions often create performance bottlenecks by routing all traffic through centralized data centres.
Forcepoint ONE’s distributed architecture with over 300 global Points of Presence and on-device agents overcomes this, delivering up to double the speed for performance-critical content. This approach also enables local enforcement of security policies, ensuring rapid and secure web access.
Enforcing Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
Forcepoint ONE’s web controls allow granular management of web access based on user groups, device status, and location. Organizations can block risky sites, implement confirmation pages, set usage quotas, require multi-factor authentication, or isolate traffic using Remote Browser Isolation (RBI). This flexibility is crucial for managing the use of GenAI tools, directing users to sanctioned resources while maintaining control over data access.
Protecting Sensitive Data
Forcepoint ONE safeguards sensitive data by preventing its upload to personal storage, social media, email, or GenAI platforms. Advanced data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities scan files and text for sensitive information, blocking uploads that pose risks.
Combating Malware
Forcepoint ONE employs a layered approach to malware protection, including website category blocking, real-time file scanning, and Zero Trust advanced threat protection like Remote Browser Isolation (RBI). This ensures safe web usage even when encountering malicious content.
Detecting & Controlling Shadow IT
Forcepoint ONE identifies and tracks “shadow IT” – unauthorized applications used by employees. By monitoring cloud app usage, organizations can gain visibility into potential risks and implement controls to mitigate them.
Safeguarding User Privacy
To protect employee privacy, Forcepoint ONE avoids decrypting and inspecting traffic to sensitive websites like banking, healthcare, and insurance portals.
