Forcepoint Data Security Cloud is a cloud-delivered security platform for enterprises and government organizations. It brings together secure web gateway capabilities, CASB controls, data loss prevention, zero trust network access, browser isolation, device posture checks, and centralized monitoring. Its data-centric approach combines AI-assisted discovery and classification with risk-adaptive policies based on user, application, and device context. The platform supports web, Windows, and macOS environments.

The strongest fit is for organizations that want unified policy administration across AI, web, cloud, endpoint, network, and email channels. Secure web gateway features inspect web traffic and support inline DLP, while CASB controls address SaaS applications, shadow IT, and data at rest. ZTNA provides access to private applications without a VPN. Remote browser isolation uses cloud-hosted browser execution and includes content disarm and reconstruction; the vendor describes this capability as an add-on or licensed option.

Integration coverage connects the platform with SAML-compatible identity providers, Active Directory, SCIM, Microsoft 365, Office 365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Forcepoint Enterprise DLP, and other Forcepoint security capabilities. Centralized monitoring, reporting, forensics, and risk analysis support ongoing policy review. Published materials also describe a free Data Risk Assessment trial for DSPM and DDR, while the general platform follows a contact-sales purchasing model. Organizations seeking broad, data-focused SSE controls should consider it; teams needing a narrowly scoped or independently priced tool may prefer a more focused option.
