What problems is Forcepoint Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) solving and how is that benefiting you?
Forcepoint ONE CASB is primarily solving the critical problem of securing cloud application usage and protecting sensitive data across distributed environments. Here’s a breakdown of the specific problems it addresses for customers:
1. Shadow IT & Unsanctioned App Usage
Problem: Employees often use unapproved cloud apps (e.g., file sharing, collaboration tools) without IT's knowledge, exposing organizations to data loss or compliance risks.
Solution: Forcepoint ONE CASB provides visibility into all cloud app usage, detects risky behaviors, and allows IT to sanction or block apps accordingly.
2. Data Loss in the Cloud
Problem: Sensitive data (e.g., PII, financial info, IP) can easily be shared or leaked via cloud apps like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Office 365.
Solution: Its integrated DLP applies content-aware policies to monitor and prevent unauthorized uploads, sharing, or downloads of sensitive information.
3. Lack of Consistent Security Across Cloud, Web & Private Apps
Problem: Organizations often manage security in silos—different tools for cloud, web, and internal apps—leading to gaps and inconsistencies.
Solution: Forcepoint ONE uses a single unified policy engine and console to enforce consistent security rules across SaaS, web traffic, and private apps.
4. Remote Workforce Risks
Problem: Remote users often bypass traditional network security controls, increasing exposure.
Solution: With its cloud-delivered architecture, Forcepoint ONE applies zero trust access controls and DLP policies even for off-network users.
5. Compliance and Regulatory Challenges
Problem: Organizations need to meet compliance requirements like HIPAA, GDPR, or PCI when using cloud services.
Solution: Forcepoint ONE CASB offers audit trails, policy enforcement, and detailed reporting to support compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
