ForcePoint's cloud security Gateway solution helps to monitor remote working employees

Preparedness to face challenges of data security: 
Forcepoint in addition to market-leading threat protection (the baseline required for data security), aims to help organisations secure their data and protect themselves against potential breaches using an inside-out approach. A key part of this is the deployment of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) systems integrated with machine learning, data analytics, and automation. We recommend newer, more unified platforms which can deliver visibility across hybrid, private and public cloud infrastructure while automating security policies based on changing conditions.

The best practices adopted for remote working: 
Forcepoint employees who operate from office premises are secured with our corporate network. For employees who work from home, there are some best practices that we have adopted and also recommend to our customers. Force point’s cloud security Gateway solution helps to monitor employees who are working remotely because it provides full visibility across all Web and cloud-based applications that employee use. These include applications that are unsanctioned or sanctioned, lesser known, internal to the organization or hosted in the organization’s private cloud. Cloud Security Gateway enables organisations to see which tools employees are choosing to use, so they can make better-informed decisions about what helps them be most productive.

Role of CISOs:  
Cybersecurity has become the enabling engine which permits businesses to accelerate their pivot to the cloud and take advantage of the speed, scale and resilience of digital transformation. Today, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) can no longer operate solely within the parameters of a security program. They have to expand their understanding of how businesses operate in order to protect them. At the board level, this transition has also had another impact: It’s helping boards to see value in digital transformation efforts across multiple areas in an organization.
