FeatureTo help regional CISOs combat the evolving threat landscape, Forcepoint is focusing on two fronts, cloud security and data protection. Forcepoint’s suite of data-centric SASE solutions allow organisations moving to the cloud and considering SASE to take these steps in confidence.
Cloud Security Gateway and Forcepoint Private Access both address enterprises’ mass telework security needs while reducing security complexity and point product interoperability challenges. On the data side, Forcepoint DLP and Dynamic User Protection help CISOs secure their critical data and IP and ensure regulatory compliance, without slowing down users, no matter where they are based.
To help regional CISOs combat the evolving threat landscape, Forcepoint is focusing on two fronts, cloud security and data protection.
Irrespective of where their employees work from, businesses need unfettered and secure access to data from the web, cloud apps and even private apps in internal data centres. This is a challenge, and business leaders need converged cloud security services to simplify life, this is where Forcepoint is developing services.
The biggest impact over the next few years will be from different security architectures, SASE and Zero Trust.
Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway provides visibility, control and threat protection for users and data wherever they are, combining capabilities in DLP, CASB and Secure Web Gateway. The company’s data protection products help leaders understand their people and their data, protect what matters most and aim to stop breaches before they occur.
Organisations around the world are now looking to SASE with Zero Trust.
Rather than technologies, the biggest impact over the next few years will be from different security architectures, SASE and Zero Trust. Many organisations across the Middle East are still in the digital transformation process, moving disparate services to the cloud, and trying to join it all up. Zero Trust and SASE will help, but they are not overnight switches.
A set of principles, Zero Trust is often explained as never trust, always verify. SASE is a cloud-based architecture designed to deliver security to people anywhere, and an ideal way to deliver Zero Trust-as-a-service, ZTaaS. Organisations around the world are now looking to SASE with Zero Trust to provide a new foundation for both empowering and securing their remote workforces.
Forcepoint is a channel-first company and has significantly invested in a robust global partner program with the resources, incentives, and training support to enable partners to be successful. Partners need predictable and profitable opportunities and Forcepoint will supply these via market leading products: a robust cloud platform featuring with integrated data protection and user protection solutions.
Channel partners will take on more joint responsibility for customers’ digital transformation programmes.
During 2021, Forcepoint expects that customers will need to rely on partners who can step up and become an extension of their team. Not only will this include greater responsibility for where data is housed, touched, and shared, it will also include the overall management of cybersecurity and data protection programmes.
Cybersecurity is exhausting for CISOs and IT managers especially as they adapt to new IT which is remote infrastructures. Over time, channel partners will take on more joint responsibility for their customers’ digital transformation programmes and data security, with many opting to sign up to joint risk sharing agreements with end users.
2020 has seen Forcepoint invest heavily in its global systems integrators and large enterprise partners, encouraging partners to become strategic consultants to customers. Services-led provision of advanced certification and training processes will be important.
The company is building out enhanced support for both distribution and channel partners in the mid-market. The goal is to provide predictable and profitable opportunities, while continuing to deliver top-quality training and support.
