Forcepoint Data Detection and Response (DDR) is designed to address this visibility gap. Unlike traditional data security solutions, DDR provides continuous monitoring of various data repositories, giving organizations visibility into potential data breaches as they occur. This proactive approach enables timely identification and remediation of data issues, significantly reducing the duration and impact of a data breach.
Key Features of Forcepoint DDR:
Continuous Threat Detection and AI-Driven Responses: DDR provides continuous threat detection and enhanced data risk visibility, ensuring that organizations can identify, monitor and respond to threats. Leveraging rich context powered by Forcepoint’s AI Mesh, DDR acts to neutralize threats, offering a robust defense against data breaches.
Extensive Visibility Across Cloud and Endpoints: DDR offers extensive visibility across both cloud and endpoint environments. This comprehensive view helps organizations prevent data exfiltration and ensures that potential vulnerabilities are monitored and addressed. Capabilities such as data lineage tracking further enhance the ability to counter potential breaches accurately.
Enhanced Productivity and Cost Reduction: With continuous threat detection and dynamic responses, DDR enables security teams to focus on prioritizing data and permissions changes pointing to potential data breaches in action. This enhances productivity and supports organizational goals of cutting costs, reducing risks and maintaining customer trust.
Enhanced Incident Investigation: Data lineage capabilities offer forensic-level details by tracing a file’s lifecycle. DDR enhances the investigation of security incidents—leading to more accurate remediation decisions and reducing false positives.
Key Add-on to Forcepoint DSPM: As companies seek to secure their data posture, especially by reducing risky data across cloud and on-prem locations, Forcepoint DDR brings continuous risk visibility to Forcepoint DSPM. Instead of needing to run a complete discovery scan of data locations first, Forcepoint DDR enables continuous monitoring of the data security posture immediately after being deployed. Even without prior discovery scans, Forcepoint DDR detects and enables remediation for new data risks as they are happening. This continuously prevents new risks to the overall data security posture.
Deployed as SaaS or on-prem software: Organizations are increasingly looking for flexibility in how they deploy security solutions. Businesses with data sovereignty and compliance requirements can deploy Forcepoint DDR on-premises while others that prefer the simplicity of a cloud service can use the new SaaS version.
How Forcepoint DDR Works
Imagine an organization where an employee has legitimate access to a file containing sensitive information, such as credit card numbers. If this employee decides to steal the data, they might change the file’s permissions to public access (“anyone with this link”). They could then send the link to themselves and access the sensitive information from an unauthorized machine, resulting in a data breach.
Alternatively, an unauthorized individual could steal credentials to gain access to the organization’s data. Once inside, they could move around and change permissions to access sensitive information files undetected. Typically, such activities are not clearly visible.
With Forcepoint DDR, these risky data changes are continuously monitored. When suspicious activity is detected, an incident alert is sent to the security team. The team can then remediate the files by removing public permissions and identifying the user making the changes. They can also see all files where similar changes are being made, whether it’s permissions changes or data movement to unauthorized locations. Data lineage tracking allows the team to see the history of affected files along with user information, providing greater visibility and control over potential breaches.
