Forcepoint also started focus on cloud access security management solution like CASB (Cloud Access Management) . recently they have started new product Forcepoint One, which more than CASB solution & cover every aspect of cloud security of any application hosted in cloud. Cons Forcepoint need to more focus on Customer support, There is two SKU for Forcepoint support is BOM (Bill of Materials) of Forcepoint one is Essential support & another one is Enterprise Support . Essential support is less costly , but TAC support keep customer in queue for long time , which in context of data security is not a good sign , client need the solution at the urgent basis .

Fantasies of 12-inch floppy disk hackers and 300 baud modem bandits aside, data leakage and loss occurs unintentionally from users doing small things they shouldn't do, which culminate into the potential for huge problems. Forcepoint DLP not only puts a stop to this leakage, it also runs scheduled scans on endpoints for leaked data and provides scripted abilities to return that data to its rightful location or quarantined locations. Pros DLP tools all have the ability to find sensitive data resembling: SSN, credit card #s, financial account #s. But what about sensitive data that DOESN'T match the cliche template? Forcepoint DLP has the ability to find sensitive data that is easily user-defined by keywords, and in specific context for example. This functionality is difficult to find, with the only viable alternate product costing almost 3x the price. Cons The console GUI isn't as intuitive as I would like, and there are a few double negative concepts that are difficult to understand when apply policy or policy exceptions as the example. Alternatives considered [Fortra's Digital Guardian](https://www.capterra.com/p/171303/DG-Data-Protection-Platform/) Reason for choosing Forcepoint DLP Cost. 3 times the price, didn't offer 3 times the capabilities.
