Empowering Resilience: Extending Data Security to Web and Cloud Apps

One of the key challenges that organizations face today is safeguarding their sensitive data against breaches and exfiltration. Reliable data security is more important than ever before, and it is critical to extend its protection to all channels, including web and cloud applications. This approach not only fortifies an organization's defenses but also empowers resilience, enabling businesses to adapt swiftly to new ways of working and emerging security requirements.

Defining Data Security Everywhere

Data Security Everywhere is Forcepoint’s holistic approach that ensures data protection across all channels and environments. This strategy involves extending enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to the cloud, web and private applications, making it easier to manage and enforce data security policies consistently. By unifying data security reporting and leveraging a single policy framework, organizations can achieve seamless protection for their sensitive data, regardless of where it resides or how it is accessed. 

Protecting sensitive data across the web and cloud

The web is a critical channel for modern businesses, serving as a gateway to information and innovation. However, it also presents significant risks to sensitive data. By extending data security policies to the web, organizations can prevent data loss, control uploads to web-based storage and guard against malware. This comprehensive coverage ensures that businesses can securely leverage web applications and services, including emerging technologies like GenAI, without exposing themselves to undue risk. 

In a similar way, cloud applications are integral to the modern workplace. While they offer new levels of flexibility and scalability, they do also introduce new data security challenges. Organizations should integrate with business-critical services like Microsoft 365 and Salesforce to secure their data in the cloud, whether accessed from managed or unmanaged devices. Seamless integration will allow businesses to maintain a high level of security while supporting remote work and BYOD policies.
