FSWG: Secure your web, empower your business

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Forcepoint Secure Web Gateway from other similar products?

Unlike traditional SWGs that route all traffic through a central point, Forcepoint utilizes a distributed approach. This means most user traffic goes directly to the destination website, minimizes latency and bottleneck. Unlike most SWGs, Forcepoint offers built-in DLP capabilities to prevent sensitive data exfiltration. This feature helps organizations comply with data privacy regulations and safeguard confidential information.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Forcepoint goes beyond basic malware and phishing detection. Their SWG integrates threat intelligence feeds, sandboxing and advanced URL filtering to identify and block even sophisticated zero-day attacks and emerging threats. Forcepoint provides comprehensive reporting and analytics, giving detailed insights into user activity, web traffic and security threats.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some users report experiencing performance issues, such as slow loading times or application sluggishness, after implementing Forcepoint SWG. While Forcepoint offers a cloud-based version of SWG, its primary focus remains on on-premises deployments.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Identify the level of protection needed, consider the total cost including deployment and maintenance and choose between on-premises, cloud-based or hybrid deployment
