Hybrid workplaces can present a variety of challenges. Unintegrated technology and lack of knowledge can result in serious security issues which makes working processes more difficult. Businesses need to adapt and change in order to meet future challenges. Implementing the right security technology is one way to do this.
Forcepoint recently unveiled the Forcepoint ONE Cloud Platform, an all-in-one security platform with the ‘easy button’ for security. Brandon Tan, Sales Engineering Director, APAC and Pam Angeles, Country Sales Manager, discussed insights and updates about the future of work and how Forcepoint ONE ensures a secured and private network in the hybrid environment.
“We used to have a perimeter approach. We put all data, all computing resources in an office building. We use encryption, we use identity detection tools. Now, the problem with the castle and moat strategy is the fact that because of the pandemic the majority of your workers are no longer inside the castle,” noted Tan.
Built on a Zero Trust model, Forcepoint ONE verifies everything and anything, inside and outside of the perimeter to keep attackers out and sensitive data in. Secure access is achieved through the combination of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) and Secure Web Gateway (SWG). These work in concert and transparently from a single set of policies, complete with advanced threat protection and integrated data security. With access to over 300 global points of presence (PoPs) built on AWS, employees gain fast, low-latency connectivity and 99.99 percent uptime regardless of where they are working.
“The tendency right now of a lot of companies is that they have a lot of security products, point products that are difficult to manage. A lot of employees right now are also using unmanaged devices,” said Pam Angeles, Country Sales Manager. “Forcepoint ONE delivered and gave a solution to make sure that data is protected as employees use their own personal laptops or devices. It is a very good use case.”
Under these challenging times where everything is innovating and evolving, security should not be ignored. There’s no better time for individuals and organizations to get a hold of data and control its power. Forcepoint ONE is here to help eliminate the complexity of data security.
This all-in-one, a truly cloud-native platform makes it easy to adopt Zero Trust and prevent the theft or loss of sensitive data and intellectual property no matter where people are working.
