Workflow orchestration plays a critical role in data security and privacy management. It automates tasks, clearly defines ownership and accountability, streamlines response and alert actions, and ensures consistent compliance with regulations. This allows organizations to quickly respond to data governance incidents and compliance issues, minimizing risks and boosting operational efficiency. 

Simplifying Orchestration with an Intuitive Setup 

One of Forcepoint DSPM's standout features is its robust and user-friendly workflow orchestration tool. This starts with a step-by-step setup wizard that simplifies the process of defining ownership and accountability, creating custom notifications, and specifying targeted remediation actions for different datasets based on unique matching definitions.  

This comprehensive but ease of setup is part of Forcepoint's vision of "Security Simplified". By guiding users through configuration, Forcepoint DSPM eliminates guesswork and reduces setup time. This not only accelerates deployment but also enhances accuracy, ensuring all data sets are appropriately managed from the outset. 

Aligning Stakeholders for Efficient Workflows 

A well-orchestrated workflow is essential for aligning stakeholders. Forcepoint DSPM's orchestration capabilities make it easy to delineate roles and responsibilities, fostering clear communication and accountability. By defining who owns which data sets and the actions required, organizations ensure all stakeholders are on the same page. 

This alignment translates into more efficient workflows around actions taken on each data source and asset. When everyone understands their role and the processes involved, data governance becomes a more streamlined and effective operation. 

Customized Alerts and Remediation

With Forcepoint DSPM, organizations also have the flexibility to create personalized workflows based on the severity of data risks, enabling targeted responses to different data security situations. For instance, this might involve setting up criteria for notifications and remediation actions, such as securely moving publicly exposed files to internal repositories or deleting unnecessary files to reduce potential risks, while receiving real-time alerts for each data risk match.

AI Meets Orchestration

Beyond its orchestration capabilities, Forcepoint DSPM leverages the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to deliver unparalleled accuracy and efficiency in securing the ever-expanding data landscape. Here's how Forcepoint DSPM brings it all together:

• Fast Comprehensive Data Discovery: Forcepoint DSPM scans at a million files per hour from diverse data storage environments including Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Drive, and local systems. This scanning process uncovers hidden sensitive data, identifies overexposure (permission issues), detects redundant, outdated, trivial data (ROT), and identifies mislocated files, ensuring data hygiene and compliance.
• AI-Powered Data Classification: The built-in advanced AI engine automatically identifies sensitive data and assesses its risk, allowing organizations to prioritize their protection efforts effectively. It leverages a unique AI mesh technology that continuously trains and improves the AI model. Read more in the blog, AI-Powered Accuracy in Forcepoint DSPM
• Customized Workflows: As mentioned earlier, Forcepoint DSPM defines ownership and accountability for data sources, leading to more efficient workflows. Organizations can create customized workflows based on risk levels, ensuring tailored responses for different data security scenarios, including specific conditions for notifications and remediation actions.
• Automated Remediation with Real-time Alerts: Flexible remediation options within Forcepoint DSPM’s orchestration capability, such as moving publicly exposed files into a secure internal repository or deleting unnecessary files to eliminate potential risks. It also offers real-time alerts for data governance incidents or compliance issues, enabling proactive prevention of breaches and minimizing business impact. 
• Actionable Dashboards: The Forcepoint DSPM dashboard provides a summary of your data's security status, highlighting the potential blast radius in the event of a ransomware attack. It identifies data susceptible to attacks and allows users to drill down for more detailed information. This feature offers a clear and actionable overview of your data security posture, enabling informed decision-making and proactive risk management.
