Forcepoint unveils AI-powered DDR

Unlike traditional DDR solutions that rely on outdated, imprecise classification methods to identify data security risks, Forcepoint DDR works hand in hand with Forcepoint Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) to deliver contextual insights into data risk and security gaps. Businesses and government agencies can harness Forcepoint’s AI Mesh technology for high-accuracy classification, deep data context and precise, dynamic remediation.

“The rapid generation and consumption and movement of data today is pushing organisations to modernise data security—they need continuous, context-aware security that understands data in motion and at rest, detecting threats as they emerge,” said Naveen Palavalli, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at Forcepoint. “DDR represents a major step forward in our Data Security Everywhere strategy, giving enterprises and government agencies the power to detect, classify and protect their most sensitive information with dynamic AI-driven insights and automation.”

AI-Powered Precision: Dynamic Risk Detection & Automated Response

DDR delivers next-generation data risk intelligence by continuously monitoring and analysing data content, activity, permission levels, and movement along with other data risk factors. At the core of this innovation is Forcepoint’s AI Mesh technology, which classifies sensitive data quickly and accurately, allowing security teams to customise detection rules, flag vulnerabilities, and trigger DDR’s automated response capabilities or guide admins to mitigate risk quickly with unparalleled accuracy. This proactive approach helps security teams uncover hidden risks and stop potential threats before they escalate into breaches.

Forcepoint DDR goes beyond simple monitoring, delivering:

• Continuous Threat Detection and Data Risk Visibility – DDR continuously monitors, identifies, and responds to data threats.

• AI Mesh for Rich Data Context – Unlike competitors, Forcepoint DDR leverages the company’s AI Mesh technology to classify data with precision and provide deep contextual insights. By assessing sensitivity and risk levels while tracking data lineage—including movement, access, downloads and uploads—DDR enhances visibility into how sensitive data is handled, enabling faster and more effective investigations.

• Seamless DSPM Integration – DDR and DSPM work together, managed on-premises or in the cloud, to assess true data exposure risk, allowing timely remediation based on highly accurate insights.

• Comprehensive Protection of Data Everywhere – With DDR and DSPM, Forcepoint’s enterprise-grade data loss prevention (DLP) can automatically apply security controls to sensitive data, ensuring it remains protected at rest, in motion, or in use—across endpoints, email, cloud, web and beyond.

From Threat to Accurate, Dynamic Response and Safety

Consider an employee attempting to exfiltrate sensitive intellectual property by copying a confidential file into a secured network share and then modifying permissions to make it publicly accessible. Traditional tools might miss this for weeks. Forcepoint DDR detects unauthorised changes, alerts security teams and enables an accurate fix before data is compromised. With AI-powered automation, organisations can prevent data leaks before they happen—protecting critical assets while minimising operational impact.

Advancing Data Security Everywhere

DDR is a key pillar of Forcepoint’s Data Security Everywhere strategy and architecture, ensuring organisations have continuous data intelligence, deep security integration across all control points and AI-driven protection wherever data moves.

With Forcepoint DDR and DSPM working together, organisations can dynamically identify risks, stop threats sooner and safeguard sensitive data with high precision and visibility. Forcepoint DDR is an option fully integrated with Forcepoint DSPM, available immediately from the company and its global network of reseller, services and solution provider partners.
