Better Together: Forcepoint DLP with DSPM and DDR

If you missed my previous DDR post, here’s a quick recap:

Forcepoint’s Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) focuses on data-at-rest. At its core, DSPM helps customers address the data governance problem. It also excels at data discovery and classification.  DSPM scans provide organizations with visibility and control over all its data by examining data based on sensitivity and potential risk impact.

Data Detection & Response (DDR) focuses on data-in-use. It brings both continuous threat detection and dynamic responses to provide robust defense against potential data breaches. DDR enables continuous monitoring of both the data in use to help secure your organization’s data posture immediately after being deployed.

So where does Data Loss Prevention (DLP) fit into this equation?

Adding DLP Makes Data Security Everywhere Possible

DLP manages data-in-motion. It focuses on protecting sensitive data. It’s built to stop data exfiltration or leakage wherever data is in motion—no matter if that’s across cloud, web, network. email, endpoints or even custom applications.

Forcepoint DSPM’s AI Mesh provides organizations with superior data classification accuracy. Its networked AI architecture uses a Small Language Model (SLM) along with advanced data and AI components to efficiently capture context from unstructured text. This efficient and accurate classification process helps streamline policy management for DLP. 

After DSPM and DDR have discovered, classified, prioritized and remediated your company’s data, Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) manages that data through policy enforcement. DLP focuses on data-in-motion by protecting sensitive data.

Forcepoint DLP also unifies policy management and enforcement across all channels. Think of DLP as a policy enforcer that stops data loss through all channels—email, cloud or web apps and on endpoints your employees use every day. It streamlines policy configuration and management with 1,700+ classifiers and policy templates to identify and secure private data like PII and PHI. Forcepoint DLP features policy templates for over 160 regions worldwide.

Forcepoint DLP also allows security teams to easily investigate and remediate incidents from a single dashboard and prevent data loss in real time with automated policy adjustments and enforcement.

Together, DSPM, DDR and DLP function as the core products that make our Data Security Everywhere approach possible.  It’s an approach that ensures the protection of data across multiple cloud platforms and critical channels—including cloud apps, endpoints, web and email.

Our DSE approach encompasses data-at-rest, data-in-use and data-in-motion to provide robust security measures that protect data wherever it resides, how it is accessed or how it changes over time.
