Forcepoint WebShield, a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) data guard, provides secure Web search and browse-down capabilities from high-side networks to lower-level networks.
WebShield supports the missions of the largest number of cross domain transfer users as a secure mechanism for complete information browsing and discovery. WebShield provides transparent protection of the entire network and allows users to carry out their missions with increased protection. Users surfing lower-level networks can be restricted to specific server and file types as defined by security policies. All requests, responses and transfers go through security controls, such as dirty word search, virus scan and malicious content checks.
The Forcepoint Advantage
Forcepoint WebShield is an approved cross domain transfer solution on the Unified Cross Domain Services Management Office (UCDSMO) Cross Domain Baseline.
Users access a web-based federated search engine within their web browsers to initiate a search request that can return results from multiple networks.
WebShield reads and validates basic chat (XMPP) traffic through HTTP to facilitate multilevel chat.
Forcepoint WebShield guards the access and sharing of data, such as geographic visualization of application data, used by groups operating at different security levels.
Forcepoint WebShield provides real-time data validations that enable organizations to keep one instance of information at the lowest level necessary, eliminating data duplication.
Users who perform most of their work from a high-side workstation and have lower-level email accounts can now access all email from a high-side web-based email application.
When used with Forcepoint’s Trusted Gateway System, Forcepoint WebShield facilitates secure upload of files and images to a low-side resident internal wiki.
