“The Forcepoint name was launched to represent bringing together several different disciplines – combining the cloud with the communications channel of web and email, and cloud apps, and combining this with a deep understanding of user behavior and data activity and deep networking technology and expertise. “Forcepoint is different from its predecessor companies,” said Jim Fulton, Director of Product Marketing for the Network Security Business at Forcepoint. Jim Fulton, Director of Product Marketing for the Network Security Business at Forcepoint The Stonesoft and Sidewinder technology became the Forcepoint NGFW solution.
Its rather clunky name was retired in January 2016, with the rebadged Forcepoint also including two assets purchased from Intel Security: Stonesoft, which had been rebranded as McAfee Next Generation Firewall, and Sidewinder, which had become McAfee Firewall Enterprise. It won’t be the last however, as the plan is to extend it to Forcepoint’s cloud access security broker, Web and email security services by the third quarter.įorcepoint was created in 2015 when Raytheon Cyber Products, a Raytheon company, combined with Websense into a new company, Raytheon/Websense, which was 80 per cent owned by Raytheon. The NGFW offering becomes the first of Forcepoint’s security products to integrate this technology. While it has several new capabilities, the most significant is the addition of support for Forcepoint’s new Advanced Malware Detection service. Security vendor Forcepoint has announced the release of the new version of its Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) software. Forcepoint plans to integrate its new anti-malware service throughout its other products over the next several months.
