[Forcepoint] Can Cybersecurity Be Robust Without Being Rigid?

What if cybersecurity solutions were more adaptable, more resilient? What if we could drastically reduce the number of situations in which security got in the way of people getting their jobs done?

Security solutions can be more adaptable by incorporating the intelligence to adjust to changing circumstances.  For example, with many organizations bringing people back into the office – at least part time – security policies need to follow users and offer a consistent level of protection and performance wherever they are, without getting in the way.

How Seamless Handoff works

While many other solutions simply force you to bypass security or block web access in many roaming user scenarios, Seamless Handoff keeps people connected safely as they move around.  Intelligence in our unified agent automatically adjusts how security policies are enforced – on the endpoint or in the cloud – to provide the best combination of speed and safety. 

With Seamless Handoff, if a user starts working somewhere that cannot connect through our cloud edge (such as a hotel or business that forces use of its own web proxy), our unified agent will automatically switch from using a cloud proxy to directly enforcing web security policies on the endpoint.  This “Proxy Connect” (PCEP) to “Direct Connect” (DCEP) switching provides a smooth user experience.  Then, it can switch back once the user is able to connect to the proxy.

Here's a video where I demonstrate how it works:
