Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway Primary Use Case
Basically, we are the system integrators. We apply it to clients for use cases such as productivity increases. For example, if they want to block Facebook and those kinds of social networking sites, it will help stop users from off-work distractions. They also are now catering to the use case of remote working to control access off-site. That involves cloud solutions.

We used the tool for secure internet access in our legacy environment. We had a firewall. In a corporate environment, when a user goes through the environment, they go through the firewall. However, hardware devices have some limitations. The performance degrades if the number of users increases. Forcepoint is a cloud solution that users can go through. It is scalable.

We use the solution as an overall proxy. We are using Forcepoint Web Gateway to allow only trusted, valid URLs - whatever is accepted or offered by the cache rate.
It's a landing zone for all kinds of end-user traffic for the internal users, as well as to protect against any attacks from my external users. Also, it controls the internal IT assets and can protect us from hard, new, cyber attacks, ransomware, and other things. That's how it has been used right now specifically.

I'm using Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway for web security, particularly DLP. It's mainly to control internet usage for users in terms of what's allowed and what's not. It's also a DLP solution that I use to monitor the data, including information about any data transfers within the organization.

View full review »Our customers are government agencies, and we recommended Forcepoint to add an extra layer of security to their data centers. It's the second layer of protection on top of a layer from another vendor. And one week ago, we recommended a data leakage prevention solution from Forcepoint for another agency, but this project hasn't started yet.
