Forcepoint recognized by Gartner® for second year in a row as a Visionary in Magic Quadrant™ for Security Service Edge (SSE)

Jim Fulton

For the second year in a row, Gartner has recognized Forcepoint as a Visionary in its Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge (SSE). In this report, Gartner defines Security Service Edge as “SSE secures access to the web, cloud services, and private applications regardless of the location of the user or the device they are using or where that application is hosted.”*

Powered by the Forcepoint ONE cloud platform, our SSE services provide a simpler, unified way to give remote and hybrid workforces safe access to web, cloud, and private apps. These services work together with our secure SD-WAN products to deliver cloud-based Data-first SASE solutions that make people more productive, reduce operations costs, stop attackers, and keep control of sensitive data.

Forcepoint ONE unites key SSE technologies into a single console, managed from a single set of policies, with advanced capabilities accessed from a single endpoint agent or from cloud-based proxies for agentless, unmanaged (BYOD) devices:

These access gateways draw upon a consistent set of security services in Forcepoint ONE—such as comprehensive and customizable data loss prevention (DLP), advanced malware protection, and remote browser isolation and content disarm and reconstruction (RBI with CDR)—to deliver powerful security that’s simple to deploy, manage, and use.

Our unique distributed enforcement architecture applies policies both in the cloud and close to users and data to provide the best combination of security, cloud application performance (esp. in remote locations), and user experience.
