Forcepoint announces the latest generation of their Triton 4D security platform helping customers to safely and efficiently embrace cloud, mobility and other transformative technologies

Johannesburg, 29 Apr 2016

29 April 2016 saw the latest release the TRITON 4D Platform and product portfolio under the new Forcepoint brand. Whilst Forcepoint might only be just over 90 days old, there is a rich heritage of over 20 years that brings it to where it is today as a market leader. TRITON has been leading the market as one of the industry's first security platforms. It has been helping its customers reduce the operational burden for over-stretched IT staff through the consolidation of Web and e-mail security with DLP into a single console.

Over the last year, as Websense, Raytheon Cyber Products and more recently, Stonesoft have come together, it has been working diligently to integrate the technologies these companies bring to the market. This ability to integrate new technologies into the TRITON platform is a key differentiator for Forcepoint. It's incredibly exciting to see the results of this integration. Firstly, it has integrated the security research teams into Forcepoint Security Labs. This has resulted in the expansion in the technologies and capabilities of Forcepoint's ACE shared security services (The power behind the protection and detection capabilities across its security platform). These advances are already benefiting existing customers using its solutions today. Check out what its Security Labs team are saying in Forcepoint Security Labs Global Threat Report released 26 April 2016.

In this latest release of the TRITON portfolio (including AP-WEB, AP-EMAIL, AP-DATA & AP-Endpoint DLP), Forcepoint has expanded its integration of advanced file behavioural analysis capabilities to continue to remain at the forefront of providing market-leading advanced threat protection for it customers.

Integrated security means better security

Integrating Web, e-mail and DLP provide the best protection from external attackers and insiders trying to steal data. Cyber criminals target the very same critical communication channels that Forcepoint's customers' users use. By combining Web and e-mail security with DLP, Forcepoint provides better security against users from advanced attacks as well as more comprehensive protection from data theft from insiders or external attackers.

Business transformation needs flexible security

Our consolidated management and unified policies are most effective at helping customers to safely embrace transformative technologies (like cloud, mobility and others).Forcepoint provides organisations with the flexibility to choose the most relevant deployment method of their Web, e-mail and DLP security to support the needs of the business and maintain a centralised management console to deploy consistent policies to protect users and your data across any network that they need to work. Forcepoint's range of virtual and physical appliances, as well as ISO certified cloud based security infrastructure means protection is closest to the users and your critical data wherever it needs to be.

Consolidated management means faster detection and response.

Forcepoint's industry-leading TRITON Platform goes beyond just Defending, enabling you to Detect breaches and Decide how best to Defeat the attack (What we call '4D Security').

TRITON combines the management of Web, e-mail and DLP protection in one console. Pre-defined policies grouped by regulation or data type and geographical location save administration time and allow organisations to rapidly protect against data theft, as well as provide superior protection from blended attacks that cross both Web and E-mail. In addition, this integration allows organisations to protect against every stage of the threat lifecycle, from initial targeted phishing e-mails, through to data exfiltration in hidden 'Call Home' channels. Integrated advanced file analysis reduces the time it takes to detect an attack. Forcepoint's threat dashboards and reporting speed up the time it takes to respond to an incident in order to remediate quickly to contain an attack (i.e. get back to 'normal' faster).

The Bottom Line: Today, with the latest release (v8.2) the Forcepoint TRITON platform provides better protection from outsiders targeting users with advanced threats, and is more effective at protecting increasingly distributed data against loss or theft from insiders. The consolidated TRITON Platform reduces the burden on IT, enabling them to spend more time supporting business innovation.
