What is Forcepoint DLP?

The Forcepoint DLP solution prevents exfiltration of sensitive data and delivers unified policy management with centralized control of all channels or security vectors from a single policy. This allows visibility and control of your data everywhere your people work and anywhere your data resides. Forcepoint simplifies DLP deployment and ongoing management with over 1500 pre-defined templates, policies and classifiers that cover the regulatory demands of 83 countries, over 150 regions and every major industry. The Risk-Adaptive Protection helps identify data loss before it occurs. Continuous monitoring of risky behavior and integration of user risk data with policy enforcement delivers zero-trust DLP that streamlines incident management and eliminates risk. Forcepoint DLP simplifies compliance by securing sensitive customer information and regulated data. Forcepoint’s focus on unified policies, user risk, and automation makes data security frictionless and intuitive.

CRITICAL

“Agent Deployment Complexity and Bandwidth Consumption Cause Operational Challenges”

3.0
Jul 3, 2025
Deployment of the agent is very complex. The agent is very heavy and takes too much time and bandwidth. Also, DLP policies make the agent heavy. From a DLP policy perspective, if you implement a policy i.e. Source code detection is not a surety that the policy will detect it effectively every time.

Forcepoint DLP Likes & Dislikes

Like

The complete DLP Suite is the product because it covers all the aspects like endpoint DLP, network DLP, email DLP, and all the required channels that most of the organizations require in day to day use.

Like

Though there are a few side issues with agent deployment and policy effectiveness, Forcepoint DLP is still the best available in the market today. We have so many categories of the policies based on the use cases and requirements policies can be implemented.

Like

Real time monitoring & enforcement are some of the features that I can rely on, when user interact with sensitive data within an organization, preventing any possible data loss during the daily basis. Also the ability to classify and catalog data at rest located on endpoints and data stores. In addition, dashboards and reports from every incident logging are some of the most helpful features in terms of compliance.

Dislike

The product doesn't work on some previous Mac OS platforms, on latest it will work but some time face challanges in older versions

Dislike

Agent deployment is the most tedious task and consumes a of efforts.

Dislike

Performance impact is very common during deployment so it takes time to work policies and rules tuning in order to minimize the impact and prevent any high CPU/memory usage.
