New in Forcepoint DLP

DLP Insights in Forcepoint Data Security Cloud platform’s CISO Dashboard

The CISO Dashboard is a unified executive intelligence platform designed to provide Chief Information Security Officers with comprehensive, real-time visibility into their organization's security posture across multiple Forcepoint data protection and web security solutions.

The CISO Dashboard aggregates security incident data from multiple Forcepoint on-premises security products into a single, unified interface accessible via the Forcepoint Data Security Cloud platform.

In this release, customers can configure and send DLP incidents from Forcepoint Security Manager to the Forcepoint Data Security Cloud platform to be aggregated and viewed in the CISO Dashboard. For setup instructions, refer to the CISO Dashboard Solutions Guide.

Policy Export and Import - Classifiers, and Resources

Classifiers and Resources details can now be created or updated on the target system during the policy import process. Prior to this enhancement, a successful import required all DLP entities to already be configured on the target DLP system, matching the source DLP system. This release removes that prerequisite, significantly simplifying policy migration and replication across environments.

Supported Content Classifier Types
  • Key phrases
  • Regular expressions
  • Dictionaries
  • File Properties
  • File Labeling

Supported Resource Types

  • Custom users
  • Custom computers
  • Networks
  • Domains
  • Business units

  • Notifications

For more information, see Policy Level, Classifier, and Resource Export/Import Support by Version.

New Export Options

While exporting policies, administrators can select the following options:
  • Include classifiers and Include resources- To include or exclude classifiers and resources.
  • Set a password for zip file - To set a password to encrypt the data and secure the policy zip file.
For more information see Export Policies.
Note: To keep enjoying the benefits of this feature when upgrading from 10.3.2 to 10.4, you must install immediately 10.4.1 maintenance release, since the feature is not supported in DLP 10.4 release.

Telemetry and Usage Data

Forcepoint DLP collects limited, non-personal operational telemetry data to support product diagnostics, service reliability, and continuous improvement. This telemetry does not include end-user content, personally identifiable information (PII), or any customer data subject to DLP policy enforcement. For more information, see Telemetry settings.

Purpose of Telemetry Collection

The telemetry data collected by Forcepoint is used solely for the following purposes:

  • Diagnosing and resolving product issues more efficiently
  • Improving product stability, performance, and usability
  • Identifying underutilized features to guide product enhancements
  • Supporting capacity planning and scalability improvements
  • Proactively detecting systemic health issues across deployments

Forcepoint does not sell, share with third parties, or use telemetry data for any advertising or commercial profiling purposes.

Telemetry Notification and Default Behaviour

During maintenance release installation, a notification informs customers that telemetry collection is enabled by default.

Important: The telemetry is enabled by default once the upgrade is done. To disable it, go to Data > General > Telemetry in FSM and turn off the toggle.

Consider Disabling Telemetry If:

  • The environment is air-gapped and has no external network access.
  • The organization's policy does not permit sharing usage data with third parties.
