Data Security for the Modern World

We believe that modern data security needs to offer a range of capabilities designed to deliver data security everywhere—seamlessly and efficiently. Our data security platform includes a number of innovations for ensuring that people can use sensitive data in all of the ways they need to be productive, including:

• Securing Data in GenAI Applications: Forcepoint DLP with DSPM secures the use of generative AI apps by providing comprehensive visibility and control over prompts and uploaded data to keep sensitive data safe, prevent unauthorized data sharing, and maintain compliance requirements.  
• AI Mesh Technology: Our unique AI Mesh technology uses a network of AI classifiers and data science models to rapidly provide highly precise data classification with rich context, ensuring all data is accounted for, understood, and secured.
• SaaS and On-Premises Deployment: We believe it’s important to give people the flexibility to secure their data in the way that best fits their unique operational and data sovereignty needs.
• One Policy for All Channels: Forcepoint’s Data Security Everywhere approach enables policies and incidents to be managed in one place and enforced consistently across endpoints, SaaS apps, email, the web, and other channels.  
• Risk-Adaptive Protection: The Risk-Adaptive Protection capabilities in Forcepoint DLP automatically adjust security policy enforcement based on real-time user behavior and risk levels, ensuring that high-risk activities are blocked while allowing low-risk users to maintain productivity.
