Forcepoint ONE - CASB Cloud App Security

My main use case for Forcepoint ONE is SWG and CASB.

For my use case of Forcepoint ONE, we protect our data on the browser using SWG by granting or denying access to users based on web reputations, URLs, and category-based URLs, and we can restrict access if any user downloads something malicious through scanning. For CASB, we have integrated our Office 365 with CASB to protect our sensitive data shared with other users from Office 365 mail and Teams.

Forcepoint ONE essentially prevents or secures our users from accessing public domains without hesitation, ensuring that we scan all activities.

The best features that Forcepoint ONE offers are RBI and CDR in SWG.

RBI helps me specifically by removing all the malicious JavaScript codes from websites that users might visit, allowing them to access the URL without encountering the actual malicious codes. Regarding CDR, when a user downloads malicious executable files or something injected with malicious codes, CDR assists by creating the same package with other files, effectively removing the original malicious content.

I love the features of SWG and RBI because they secure our users by removing JavaScript and malicious file codes, particularly since many attackers employ codeless or fileless patterns or signatureless attacks. Additionally, if any user is uncertain about any data or its origin, CrowdStrike anti-malware sensors scan it for us. CDR is crucial as it protects our end users from unknown third-party files, ensuring the authenticity of shared files.

Forcepoint ONE has positively impacted our organization by providing visibility through CASB, caching user activities, and preventing threats by guiding users to the correct cloud services like Office 365 instead of blocking access to more vulnerable services.

Forcepoint ONE can be improved with better guidance on token implementation for ease of use.

While implementing Forcepoint ONE has been very smooth and efficient, the proof of concept phase can be slow, particularly on S3. It would be beneficial for end users if performance improves during this stage.

I have been working in my current field for three years, so I have three years of experience.

Forcepoint ONE is very stable.

Forcepoint ONE runs smoothly, and scaling is easy. When we need more licenses, we simply request them, which we have done after utilizing it for 1.5 years.

Customer support is quite good. After raising a case on the support portal, I call the support number to prioritize it, and an engineer comes to resolve the issue.

We have not previously used a different solution.

With Forcepoint ONE, we can import firewall logs, resulting in Shadow IT reports that give us visibility into our data's movement, enabling us to block or allow operations effectively.

We are using AWS and Azure as our cloud providers.

We are utilizing Forcepoint ONE directly from Forcepoint OEM as partners, so we do not purchase it from the AWS Marketplace.

We have seen a return on investment with Forcepoint ONE. It saves us money and time as all metrics can be achieved through a single console, which simplifies employee training and implementation.

The aspects of pricing, setup cost, and licensing are managed by our sales team, as I handle the technical side.

Before choosing Forcepoint ONE, we evaluated other options including Netskope and Zscaler.

If your users frequently access unknown sites or use browsers extensively, you should definitely use SWG. If you are uncertain about your users' data origins—whether it is genuine or malicious—you should utilize features such as CDR and RBI to prevent upcoming threats. If you are on a cloud platform without data visibility, integrating Forcepoint ONE will give you control over your SaaS data.

Forcepoint ONE has positively impacted our organization by providing visibility through CASB, caching user activities, and preventing threats by guiding users to the correct cloud services like Office 365 instead of blocking access to more vulnerable services.

I would rate this product and experience a 10 out of 10.

I use Forcepoint ONE to protect sensitive data, enforce security and compliance policies, and ensure secure access to cloud applications, web resources, and endpoints. It enables me to monitor user activity, detect and prevent unauthorized data sharing, enforce access controls based on roles, devices, or locations, and secure interactions across cloud and web platforms. Additionally, it helps safeguard against malware, phishing, and other threats, providing comprehensive visibility and control over the organization’s IT environment while maintaining compliance and reducing risk.

Forcepoint ONE has significantly improved our data security by preventing unauthorized access and the sharing of sensitive information. It provides clear visibility into user activity across endpoints, cloud applications, and web resources, allowing me to detect and respond to potential risks quickly. The platform enforces security and compliance policies consistently across the organization, helping us maintain regulatory adherence. It also streamlines monitoring and management, reduces operational overhead, and enhances our overall security posture, giving the team confidence that critical data and systems are well protected.

Forcepoint ONE offers Zero Day Trust Network Access, DLP, and Data Loss Prevention as the best features. Zero Day Trust Network Access and DLP features help my team significantly in daily operations by assigning trust to users. Zero Day Trust Network Access provides access to network, cloud apps, network endpoints, and related resources. DLP also helps in preventing users from uploading or taking sensitive data outside the environment.

Forcepoint ONE has positively impacted my organization in a very good way. I can share a specific example of measurable outcomes where Forcepoint ONE made a difference, particularly regarding cost reduction because all the features that Forcepoint ONE bundles are in one package, as opposed to other solutions where you have to buy every single module individually.

Forcepoint ONE could be improved in terms of scalability to better support hybrid environments, as many organizations still operate partially on-premises while gradually moving to the cloud. Enhancing its ability to handle such mixed setups would make migrations smoother and adoption easier. Additionally, customer support could be strengthened by prioritizing enterprise license holders and addressing critical issues more promptly, ensuring faster resolution and a more reliable overall user experience.

Forcepoint ONE's best feature is its ease of use. The UI is basic, so users don't have to spend much time learning.

The UI looks modern without particular shortcuts or dashboards, making it simple to find options.

The integration with the local LDAP server is particularly useful. By using the agent, you can connect the local LDAP server to Forcepoint ONE. The Azure integration is also beneficial.

Using a cloud-based application means giving up controlling the resources. This eliminates the need to maintain on-premise servers or handle their maintenance.

While I don't have specific metrics, I'm confident it reduced costs because when we used non-cloud-based solutions, we had to upgrade them periodically, which consumed our engineers' time. Instead, we now delegate that responsibility to the cloud provider.

Though there aren't metrics to share, we now require fewer employees for specific tasks that we used to do for this solution. Forcepoint ONE provides an easy-to-use UI, reducing time and effort on day-to-day tasks.

Additional integrations could be useful.

More documentation would be beneficial as there aren't many articles about the solution.

I rate Forcepoint ONE a seven because it needs improvement in reporting and integrations. Currently, there's an issue with the WebSocket protocol when using a proxy. The reporting tab could be enhanced by adding more product reports. On the troubleshooting side, more documentation about current issues would be helpful.

It's not expensive and we can afford it. The licensing is straightforward and easy to understand.

We evaluated Symantec's cloud solution for proxies.

When a customer requests to browse a website, it's simple to go to the page and add that customer to the exceptions list.

I would suggest using Forcepoint ONE.

I rate this solution seven out of ten.

I use the solution as a secure web gateway, similar to a proxy, to control access to the Internet for users. It is implemented on our equipment, such as laptops, to block certain categories like gambling and games. This is particularly important in the financial services industry where clients access the Internet through our network.

The control of web access by category is very effective. For example, I can access social networks but block specific platforms like Instagram and Facebook while allowing access to LinkedIn, a professional network. This helps me manage what users can access efficiently. The experience has generally been good, especially with how I can control web categories and give access to clients. It also helps me block tweets or other unwanted content.

I have some requirements that the solution cannot currently fulfill. For example, I need control over access to web WhatsApp, which the solution cannot resolve yet.

Additionally, I need to control specific functionalities within certain applications, like preventing the transfer of certain file types. This requirement is not yet resolved.
