Use Forcepoint ONE CASB to Safeguard Data in SaaS Apps

In my previous blog post, I wrote about the need for CASBs to shift from access-centric security to data-centric security. In this one, I'll explore how Forcepoint secures data in SaaS applications using this approach.

Forcepoint Elevates SaaS Security with Industry-Leading DLP

Forcepoint ONE CASB, a core component of our Forcepoint ONE SSE (security service edge) solution, enables zero trust security for all SaaS applications, including custom applications. But what makes Forcepoint ONE CASB different from the rest? Unlike many CASB vendors that secure a small set of managed applications or offer basic data detection mechanisms, Forcepoint ONE CASB is backed by a rich heritage of data protection capabilities. Putting data security at the core of CASB allows us to identify and classify structured and unstructured data (both in the cloud and on-premises) all to enable safe collaboration.

Forcepoint ONE CASB secures data in SaaS applications by:

• Discovering and protecting data at-rest and in-motion across multiple productivity and collaboration applications, like Microsoft 365 and Salesforce.
• Accurately and efficiently classifying the broadest range of data types with superior precision.
• Simplifying policy definition with 1,700+ built-in templates for quick policy creation and enforcement, while meeting the compliance requirements across 80+ regions.
• Automating risk-adaptive policy enforcement to limit data access based on user's dynamic risk behavior.
• Applying advanced capabilities such as fingerprinting, EDM, OCR and DRM that further augment the DLP capabilities to protect data uploads and downloads.
• Safeguarding the use of  GenAI applications to enable user productivity without putting sensitive data at risk.

Extending Best-in-Class Data Security to SaaS Applications

For existing Forcepoint Enterprise DLP customers, you can easily extend the same industry-leading data security to the cloud. We make it simple with a few simple clicks, customers can achieve 'Data Security Everywhere'. This capability allows customers to:

• Extend enterprise-class DLP capabilities to the cloud to simplify cloud data security with unified policies and console.
• Reuse on-premises DLP policies for securing data in SaaS applications with just a few simple clicks, reaching time-to-value in minutes and improving the productivity of IT/security teams.
• Eliminate redundant and fragmented security products to achieve significant cost savings.
• Seamlessly expand the data protection capabilities across other channels, including endpoints, web and email, when business and security priorities evolve.

Part of Our Data Security Everywhere Approach

As organizations continue to make strategic investments in SaaS and related tools to keep up with modern enterprise requirements, the need to enforce data-centric security will emerge as one of the primary requirements for facilitating collaboration and supporting worker productivity, without the risk of unintended data loss or exposure. Forcepoint, through its Data Security Everywhere approach, allows customers to extend Forcepoint Enterprise DLP across all channels, including endpoints, networks, clouds, websites, private applications, custom apps, and email with just a few simple clicks. This delivers data security across a broader ecosystem through unified policy enforcement and reduces the cost and complexity of managing multiple point products and policy definitions.
