Why Business Leaders Need a Unified SaaS Security Platform

In today’s cloud-first enterprises, sensitive data moves across hundreds of SaaS apps like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Salesforce, and Box. While these platforms boost productivity, they also create new risks. Information is uploaded, shared, or exposed in ways that bypass traditional controls, raising the likelihood of breaches and compliance violations.

Compounding the issue is the fact that security teams today are juggling multiple tools - each with its own policy engine and deployment model to protect SaaS applications. The result? Visibility gaps, fragmented protection, operational complexity, and delayed response to incidents.

You need a solution that discovers and continually monitors your organization’s most sensitive data both on-premises and in the cloud, and one that prevents that data from escaping via the many channels your security teams strive to protect.

What is Forcepoint Data Security Cloud?

Forcepoint Data Security Cloud is a unified, AI-native platform that addresses this challenge by bringing together Forcepoint Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), Data Detection and Response (DDR), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to deliver comprehensive visibility and control over SaaS applications.

This empowers organizations to:

• Discover data across SaaS, on-prem and endpoint environments.
• Embrace the power of AI to classify sensitive data with unmatched accuracy and context.
• Apply consistent policies across all channels using Forcepoint’s industry-leading DLP engine.
• Identify and respond to data threats dynamically, before they escalate into incidents.
• Continuously assess and improve data security posture of the SaaS environments by removing ROT (redundant, outdated, trivial) data.

Forcepoint Data Security Cloud Secures SaaS Apps

Following are some of the high-impact SaaS security use cases enabled by Forcepoint's unified platform, that are difficult to achieve with fragmented solutions:

• Simplifying data protection across channels: Forcepoint’s DLP policies, already trusted for email, web, and endpoints, can be seamlessly extended to SaaS environments. This enables a single policy to protect data everywhere, reducing complexity and ensuring consistent enforcement.
• Closing the loop between data discovery and protection: Forcepoint DLP can leverage the classification tags applied within SaaS environments by our differentiated AI Mesh technology. This ensures sensitive data can be immediately protected after discovery, minimizing the risk of exfiltration and regulatory exposure.
• Proactively reducing SaaS data exposure: Forcepoint continuously monitors SaaS environments to detect file changes, risky sharing, public links, and data movements. Data lineage tracking and automated remediation actions help security teams reduce the window of exposure and prevent data loss before it happens.
• Managing insider threats: Forcepoint's risk-adaptive controls adjust enforcement based on user behaviour and data sensitivity, ensuring that security doesn’t get in the way of productivity.
• Accelerating global compliance in SaaS: With over 1,700 policy templates covering regulations across 160 regions, Forcepoint simplifies compliance for industries expanding their deployments into SaaS environments.
• Securing BYOD and remote access: For organizations with a remote-heavy workforce, Forcepoint uses an agentless, API-based approach to enforce policies directly within SaaS apps. This ensures SaaS data remains protected, even when users bypass traditional network controls from BYOD or unmanaged devices.
