With the introduction of digital transformation, cloud and mobility, businesses have been able to improve many aspects of their operations.

Many organizations still struggle to empower their mobile workforce, maintain applications, and properly protect data as it goes through the different environments.
You may be wondering what is the main problem that is causing such a major roadblock, the answer is traditional security. Traditional approaches for data protection are usually rigid in the way it handles protection due to its nature to only permit or to block. This causes an endless flow of false positive alarms and alerts which can overwhelm the security team. It causes them to struggle to identify, triage, optimize system policies which leaves more room for error when trying to find the real risks in the system.
This is where Forcepoint Dynamic Data Protection can help. With its behavior-centric analytics which integrates with data protection tools, it allows you to prioritize high-risk activities and automate policies to protect data as close to real time as you can.
