What is Forcepoint CASB?

Forcepoint CASB promises to help eliminate security and compliance blindspots by providing visibility into users' devices and cloud apps.

The vendor promises the following benefits:
  • Discover and risk-prioritize all unsanctioned cloud use (Shadow IT) to quickly and easily determine if applications meet governance rules and avoid compliance issues
  • Unleash the power of BYOD with improved employee productivity and cost savings while ensuring security of employees and corporate resources in the cloud
  • Identify anomalous and risky user behavior in the cloud to stop malicious users, as well as clamp down on user activities that don’t meet best practices
  • Reduce the risk of exposing sensitive cloud data to unauthorized users in violation of governance and regulatory rules
  • Identify potentially inappropriate privilege escalation to prevent the impact associated with root account takeover
  • Implement geo-location-based access and activity monitoring for legitimate users and malicious actors
  • Track application usage for compliance, licensing, and cost savings of unused accounts

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The work from home model made the issue of remote security a bit complicated but it was quite easily resolved with this software. It is used to protect all the data in the cloud and avoids the leakage of vulnerable data. Any kind of suspicious activity is timely remedied because of the behaviour based security.

  • Behaviour-based live scrutiny
  • Integration with Forcepoint DLP
  • The cybersecurity database is quite wide and covers a variety of threats

Cons

  • A bit pricey as compared to other softwares
  • The customer service is quite lax so you're really on your own
  • The implementation process is a bit of a concern and is time-consuming

Most Important Features

  • Behaviour-based live monitoring
  • Integration with Forcepoint DLP
  • Live diagnostics

Return on Investment

  • It has made remote security accessible and easy
  • Allowed the prevention of data breach
  • It was quite complicated in the beginning and caused our team unnecessary stress

Pros

  • Ease of implementation in different use cases
  • API integration on cloud apps

  • Did I say better support?

Return on Investment

  • We are working on strategies to understand what to do with the information that CASB gave to us, it would be good if Forcepoint gives us a few key points but they haven't.
