Forcepoint Alternatives & Competitors

Web Security

CurrentWare’s BrowseControl provides the best Forcepoint alternatives for blocking websites. Both solutions provide essential endpoint security management features including the ability to block security threats such as known malicious websites.

CurrentWare’s web filtering and internet security tools help businesses maintain a secure and productive online environment. With customizable filters, you can block access to inappropriate or non-work-related websites, reducing distractions and safeguarding sensitive data.

Additionally, CurrentWare’s web filtering features prevent employees from accessing malicious sites, helping to protect your organization from cybersecurity threats. By offering detailed reports on web activity, CurrentWare gives you the insights needed to ensure compliance, improve productivity, and minimize risks associated with internet usage in the workplace.

Forcepoint’s key advantage is that it goes beyond URL databases with sandboxing, real-time threat intelligence, and Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) functions.

Both companies offer a partner program for Managed Service Providers and resellers.

Data Loss Prevention

CurrentWare’s DLP capabilities include USB control to prevent data leaks to removable media devices, web category filtering to block web-based data egress points, and user activity monitoring to identify high-risk user behavior such as attempts to use blocked peripheral devices.

CurrentWare’s data loss prevention (DLP) tools help safeguard sensitive information from theft and leaks. With features like device control, file transfer monitoring, and real-time alerts, you can prevent data breaches and ensure compliance with industry regulations. By restricting the transfer of sensitive data via USB drives, external storage, or cloud services, CurrentWare minimizes the risk of data theft. 

Forcepoint’s data loss prevention tools provide excellent visibility and control over network-level data leakage. It can track data transfers over email, the web, and mobile devices to identify when sensitive data such as PII leaves the network.

While Forcepoint’s web filter does not have a dedicated cloud storage category, Forcepoint DLP can analyze files sent to cloud applications such as OneDrive.

Setup & Deployment

Thanks to its simple interface and setup process, getting started with CurrentWare is easy—whether or not you’re an experienced system administrator. CurrentWare offers a variety deployment options that suit the installation needs of organizations of all sizes.

Forcepoint’s key advantage is its ability to be deployed at the network level, forcing newly connected devices to adhere to the network’s internet use policies. CurrentWare is an agent-based solution that must be deployed to each endpoint you’d like to manage. 

Customer Support

Even the best alternatives to Forcepoint need to have a reliable technical support team to ensure that its customers get the service they need to make the most of their internet management solutions.

CurrentWare’s support team is available by phone, live chat, and email from 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM EST, Monday to Friday to ensure your business is covered.
