Forcepoint ONE

Forcepoint now markets this capability as Forcepoint CASB within its Data Security Cloud platform, so anyone searching for Forcepoint ONE is looking for the cloud access security broker described here.

Its notable technical claim is breadth of integration method. Forcepoint CASB reaches over 800,000 cloud applications using a combination of API based, reverse proxy and forward proxy approaches, and that hybrid matters because each method has a blind spot the others cover. API integration reads data already at rest but cannot stop an action in flight; forward proxy routes outbound traffic through Forcepoint's proxy so policy applies before data reaches the application; reverse proxy handles agentless access from unmanaged devices.

The product scans for sensitive data at rest inside sanctioned applications and delivers visibility and control through integration with Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention, so cloud findings use the same classification rules as the rest of the estate rather than a parallel policy set.

Capabilities include shadow IT reporting and blocking, inline inspection and control, API inspection, agentless application access, and automatic detection and remediation of SaaS threats such as malware, data overexposure and policy violations. Hybrid workers get zero trust access to SaaS from any device and location. Pre built and customisable dashboards serve security, compliance and audit teams. Forcepoint has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Access Security Brokers three years running. Pricing is not published.
