This step has led to a number of significant advantages. “While the appliances provided the right level of security, they required regular attention from the IT department. Appliances must be maintained and updated. With Forcepoint’s cloud solutions these tasks are no longer necessary at the customer site. Forcepoint takes care of all updates and upgrades and we can focus on defining and maintaining our own policies. In addition, the cloud platform provided new features that further boost security.” Read More Log in to view content
