Forcepoint now positions itself as an AI data security platform protecting data wherever it moves, while Forcepoint NGFW remains an important part of the portfolio for network security, branch, and hybrid environments.
Vendor Focus
The Forcepoint portfolio is built primarily around Data Security Cloud, Forcepoint DLP, AI-native DSPM, Data Detection and Response, data classification, insider risk, and controls for safe use of AI and Microsoft 365/Copilot/ChatGPT scenarios.
Forcepoint ONE and related SSE/SASE elements add secure access, CASB, SWG, ZTNA, and data policies. The portfolio value is strongest in sensitive data protection and risk control across cloud, endpoints, email, web, and AI applications.
Forcepoint NGFW complements the data-focused portfolio with traditional network security: next-generation firewall, IPS, VPN, application control, centralized policy management, and branch security. It is relevant for perimeter design, segmentation, secure branch connectivity, and migration toward a hybrid SASE/SSE model.
