Introduction

Data Security Posture Management is a critical strategy for safeguarding an organization’s valuable data.

Forcepoint DSPM is a data-centric security product focusing on protecting the organization's sensitive data. It offers a comprehensive approach to securing data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Unlike other types of data security products focusing on systems and devices, Forcepoint DSPM delivers full visibility and control over your data with accuracy and efficiency. Forcepoint DSPM focuses on the entirety of an organization's data itself, ensuring compliance and mitigating the risk of data breaches.

By focusing on discovering, assessing, remediation, thereby the enhancing security posture, Forcepoint DSPM helps organizations effectively manage the challenges posed by the exponential growth of data, including hidden data. Automation and adherence to industry standards play a pivotal role in Forcepoint DSPM, allowing organizations to reduce risks and costs associated with both on-premises and cloud data security, ultimately enhancing their overall security posture.

By using Forcepoint DSPM, organizations can gain visibility into their data through discovery, assess their data security posture, enforce remediation, and improve their overall security posture. Organizations must continuously monitor security events, prioritize risks, and take corrective actions to maintain a secure environment along with automation and compliance with industry standards.

Forcepoint DSPM provides a risk assessment framework and a methodology for organizations to locate and classify sensitive data within their data stores. It also helps assess the risks related to the exposure of this data based on its sensitivity and enables the implementation of access controls to protect it.

Forcepoint DSPM solution focuses on identifying sensitive data everywhere it is stored. It treats the identification of sensitive data as the first step. It is a risk-focused tool. After identifying data, the solution helps determine the context of the data. For example, data ownership, data access, and identifying Redundant, Outdated, and Trivia (ROT) data.

The solution, designed to help organizations identify, assess, and remediate data security risks across hybrid environments.

As data is scanned, classification, policy rules, and security controls can be implemented. Forcepoint DSPM utilizes a 50-dimensional Artificial Intelligence (AI) mesh model that employs Machine Learning (ML) to train itself from the data it scans. You can consider this mesh as a very Small Language Model (SLM) that is more efficient, less resource-intensive, and significantly faster than a Large Language Model (LLM), such as ChatGPT.
