To protect ourselves from these threats, we need to install security software. This is where Forcepoint comes in. In this Forcepoint Web Security Review, we will dig deeper into this tool.
Forcepoint Web Security Review
As a proxy server for HTTP and HTTPS traffic, as well as FTP over HTTP, the Forcepoint Web Security Cloud does its job. Rather than connecting directly to the Internet web servers (indicated in the diagram as origin servers), browsers instead connect to a cloud proxy, which transmits requests to the origin server.
There are several security and privacy concerns that cloud services may guard against by using content scanning and filtering rules.
A Forcepoint Endpoint client, a third-party single sign-on identity provider, NTLM transparent identification, or manual authentication. It does it with a user name and password that identify and authenticate users. The Forcepoint Endpoint client, a single sign-on provider, or user authentication can all identify roaming users (those connecting from an unknown IP address).
SSL decryption is available as an option, allowing the service to scan HTTPS connections and provide the right notice page to users (for example, a block page if the SSL site is in a blocked category). After an examination, the content does re-encrypted.
Your entry point to a speedy and secure workplace
To determine if their eventual destination is safe, web traffic must make a pit stop due to the slowness of most SWGs. When using Forcepoint SWG, consumers may navigate straight to well-known (secure) websites because the judgments do make at the endpoint.
Cloud-based traffic analysis uses when a site is under question. Alternatively, Forcepoint RBI use to isolate traffic for Zero Trust security.
On-device SWG
Forcepoint SWG accompanies your employees wherever they work since it is mobile. This solution does not need on-premise equipment, a VPN, a network hop, or a cloud proxy.
Remotely erase business data from controlled devices using SWG’s on-device agent. On-device safeguards your workers, whether they’re on-site or working remotely.
Keep your enemies at arm’s length.
Even the best of us have blunders. Even a brief visit to a dubious site can result in data loss, network shutdowns, and the investigation and recovery time.
When malware tries to infiltrate your network, Forcepoint is there to stop it in its tracks. Malware is immediately detect and block when files are uploaded or downloaded.
Take back command of Shadow IT.
Shadow IT robs you of control over your data. You can instantly distinguish between managed and unmanaged cloud apps using your web proxy and firewall logs. Scan for cloud apps where consumers are attempting to share data and direct them to a controlled app.
Increased visibility
DLP
Deploy policies across online and cloud apps, as well as private ones. Protect data whether it’s moving or when it’s sitting still. To keep track of sensitive data, you can encrypt, disguise, redact, or watermark it.
It’s time to put an end to malware and antivirus threats.
With device security, real-time scanning and blocking of file uploads and downloads are possible. Data in transit can be protected by encrypting or masking it, redacting it, or watermarking it. Using Forcepoint RBI, traffic may be completely isolated from the rest of the network.
Limit the danger
Using granular controls, you may ban access to a site entirely or only a portion of it. Block all other groups from the site by allowing only one group to view a certain subdomain.
