Dubai, UAE– March 1, 2020 - Global cybersecurity leader Forcepoint today announced that three of its products are fully integrated and available through AWS Security Hub, providing up to 40,000 enterprises worldwide with a comprehensive, aggregated view of security alerts generated by Forcepoint’s risk-adaptive cybersecurity solutions.

We understand that enterprises need frictionless cybersecurity partners who can help future-proof security architectures through interoperability with an open ecosystem,” said Nicolas Fischbach, CTO, Forcepoint. “Our co-operation with AWS offers our customers direct insight into security findings across a range of leading Forcepoint products, making it a more efficient process to manage and remediate incidents.” 

“We’re happy to enable customers with a Forcepoint AWS Security Hub integration. AWS Security Hub makes it easier for customers to identify and manage all of their AWS-related security and compliance findings,” commented Dan Plastina, Vice President, Security Services, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Enabling users to obtain meaningful insights from Forcepoint DLP right alongside the findings provided by AWS and other partners lets our customers do more, in less time.”
