Forcepoint Unveils Unified AI-Powered Platform to Redefine Enterprise Data Security

At a time when enterprise data sprawls across hybrid infrastructures and AI transforms both innovation and threat landscapes, Forcepoint is betting big on consolidation and intelligence. The cybersecurity heavyweight introduced Forcepoint Data Security Cloud, a sweeping new platform designed to centralize and simplify data protection using AI at its core.

The cloud-native system, which merges once-siloed security domains like DSPM, DDR, DLP, SaaS, web, and email security, offers organizations unified control over their sensitive data—wherever it lives or moves. The linchpin of the platform is AI Mesh, Forcepoint’s engine for contextual intelligence and adaptive enforcement, giving security teams near-instant visibility into risk and the tools to dynamically respond.

“Forcepoint Data Security Cloud marks a turning point for how organizations manage data risk,” said Ryan Windham, CEO of Forcepoint. “Security teams are tired of asking, ‘How did we miss it?’ With Forcepoint, the answer is: ‘We didn’t.’”

A Unified Front in the Battle for Data

At its core, the platform acts as a full-spectrum data security ecosystem. Instead of juggling disparate tools across multiple vectors, Forcepoint aims to collapse that complexity into a single interface. According to the company, this consolidation can reduce policy redundancy by up to 90% and cut operational expenses by nearly a third.

The platform’s standout features include:

• DSPM with AI Mesh: Custom-trained AI models that refine data discovery and classification, minimizing noise and false positives.

• Behavior-Aware DDR: Real-time detection and response powered by user and entity behavior analytics, adapting controls based on shifting risk profiles.

• Policy Unification: A single policy engine to protect data at rest, in motion, or in use—regardless of channel or device.

Security teams will also have access to a free Data Risk Assessment trial, providing immediate insight into data exposure points across their environment. The offering is designed for fast adoption, with teams able to begin scanning within minutes.

AI at the Center, Not the Edge

Forcepoint’s vision reflects a broader industry shift: embedding AI not as a bolt-on, but as the operating logic of enterprise security. Its AI Mesh serves as the brain behind risk-adaptive controls, integrating with telemetry across apps, users, devices, and networks to deliver a continuously updated picture of data posture.

This launch builds on Forcepoint’s recent acquisition of Getvisibility, a move that bolstered its AI capabilities for data classification and visibility. It also positions Forcepoint to compete more aggressively in the increasingly crowded data security market, where startups and legacy vendors alike are racing to converge capabilities around AI and automation.

Where to See It

Forcepoint is showcasing its new platform this week at RSA Conference 2025 in San Francisco. Attendees can see live demonstrations of the Data Risk Assessment tool, interact with DSPM and DDR modules, and get hands-on with AI Mesh at the Forcepoint Experience Center, located on the fourth floor of the St. Regis.

In an era defined by data chaos and regulatory pressure, Forcepoint’s gambit is clear: deliver visibility, reduce friction, and make data security a proactive—not reactive—discipline.
