Forcepoint Data Security
Risk-Adaptive Protection with behavioural analytics across endpoint, network, and cloud
Forcepoint pioneered the modern DLP category and remains one of the most depth-oriented DLP platforms, consistently rated a Leader in independent evaluations. Forcepoint ONE Data Security combines mature content classification (over 1,700 pre-defined templates) with Risk-Adaptive Protection, which adjusts policy enforcement dynamically based on user risk scoring. For UAE enterprises that need deep DLP across endpoint, network, email, web, and cloud channels under one policy, Forcepoint is the reference standard.
DLP that adapts policy enforcement to user risk in real time
Forcepoint ONE Data Security applies a unified policy across endpoint, network, email, web, and cloud channels. The platform ships with over 1,700 pre-defined data classification templates spanning global and regional compliance frameworks, plus OCR, EDM (Exact Data Match), IDM (Indexed Document Match), machine-learning classifiers, and full-script analytics.
Risk-Adaptive Protection is the platform's signature capability: a user's risk score (built from behavioural anomalies, policy violations, posture signals) dynamically adjusts policy enforcement. A trusted user gets monitor-only; an elevated-risk user gets full block. The result is fewer false positives, fewer help-desk tickets, and stronger protection where it matters.
Risk-Adaptive DLP
Architecture
One policy across endpoint, network, email, web, and cloud channels, with dynamic enforcement tuned by per-user risk score. Over 1,700 pre-defined data classification templates.
- 1,700+ pre-defined classification templates and ML-based classifiers
- Risk-Adaptive Protection: dynamic policy enforcement by user risk score
- EDM and IDM: Exact Data Match and Indexed Document Match
- Unified policy across endpoint, network, web, email, and cloud channels
Forcepoint Data Security Highlights
The reference standard for enterprise DLP depth in the UAE
Forcepoint Data Security is most compelling for enterprises that need deep content classification, behavioural analytics, and policy uniformity across many channels. The platform requires a dedicated DLP analyst function to operate at full potential. For UAE mid-market customers without that capacity, Sophos or Microsoft Purview typically deliver better outcomes per dollar of operational cost.

Risk-Adaptive
dynamic policy enforcement scaled by per-user risk score
Leader
consistently ranked Leader in Gartner Enterprise DLP evaluations
Policy enforcement tuned to per-user risk
Each user's risk score is built from behavioural anomalies, prior violations, posture signals, and identity context. Policy enforcement scales accordingly: trusted users get monitor-only, elevated-risk users get full block. Reduces false positives and help-desk friction.
1,700+ templates across global compliance frameworks
Forcepoint ships templates for PII, PCI, PHI, GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, and dozens of regional frameworks. Authoring custom templates with regex, dictionaries, and proximity logic is straightforward.
Detect data in images and scanned documents
Native OCR identifies sensitive data in scanned documents and images, catching exfiltration via screenshot, scanned PDF, and embedded image content. Important for IP and trade-secret protection.
Exact Data Match and Indexed Document Match
EDM matches structured data (credit card numbers, customer records) precisely against your source database; IDM fingerprints specific sensitive documents. Both produce dramatically lower false-positive rates than pure regex.
Endpoint, network, web, email, cloud as one rule set
Author a policy once in the Forcepoint console and enforce it consistently across endpoint, network gateway, web proxy, email gateway, and cloud (CASB) channels. No policy drift between products.
DLP plus SWG plus CASB plus ZTNA in one SASE platform
Forcepoint ONE consolidates DLP, Secure Web Gateway, CASB, ZTNA, and Remote Browser Isolation on one converged SASE platform, with one agent, one console, and one policy. The strongest single-vendor SASE-DLP story in the market.
Who should put Forcepoint Data Security on the shortlist
Large enterprises and banks needing deep enterprise DLP across many channels
UAE government and regulated industries with strict data-residency and policy uniformity requirements
Organisations with dedicated DLP analyst teams that can fully utilise classification depth
Customers needing OCR, EDM, and IDM for structured and unstructured data protection
Multi-channel exposure: endpoint, network, web, email, and SaaS all in scope
Buyers consolidating to a single SASE platform (Forcepoint ONE) across DLP, SWG, CASB, ZTNA
Compliance-driven enterprises building toward Zero Trust data-centric security

Models we deploy and manage
Picking the right SKU is as important as picking the right vendor. We size by data classes, egress vectors and operational capacity, not by brochure tier.
Deployment Options
Endpoint, network, or cloud-native: your call. Artiflex deploys Forcepoint Data Security in whichever channel model fits your data-movement and regulatory requirements.
Endpoint DLP
Agent-based DLP enforcement on Windows, macOS, and Linux, covering clipboard, peripherals, removable media, and application-level data movement.
Network / Gateway DLP
Outbound traffic inspection at the network perimeter or web proxy, with TLS inspection where the vendor supports it.
Cloud / SaaS DLP
API-mode or inline DLP for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Box, and other sanctioned SaaS apps.

Frequently asked
Forcepoint Data Security questions we hear from UAE buyers
Forcepoint and Symantec lead on pure DLP depth and the Forcepoint ONE platform wins on SASE-native consolidation. Symantec wins on the most mature enterprise DLP product (now Broadcom). Microsoft Purview wins for M365-centric estates wanting native integration at lower cost. We size all three for shortlist customers.
Risk-Adaptive Protection is a capability layered on top of Forcepoint DLP, requiring user-behavioural-analytics signals to populate the risk score. Most enterprise customers enable it as part of the standard Data Security Suite deployment.
Yes, particularly via Forcepoint ONE Data Security. The CASB-mode connectors cover M365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and dozens of other SaaS apps with the same policy used for endpoint and network DLP.
Standard enterprise deployments run two to four months: data discovery, EDM/IDM source ingestion, policy authoring with Risk-Adaptive workflows, pilot, and tuning. SASE-native Forcepoint ONE deployments are faster (six to twelve weeks) because there is no on-prem gateway component.
