Zero Trust data security platform for hybrid and cloud environments
Forcepoint operates a data security platform centered on Zero Trust architecture and data loss prevention, deployed across 150+ countries. The stack spans legacy Java/Spring backends with newer React/Vue frontends, paired with infrastructure-as-code (Ansible, Terraform, Chef) and AWS deployment. Active adoption of SASE, Cursor, and Tailwind CSS alongside GenAI (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock) signals a modernization push; notably absent from replacements, suggesting heavy reliance on incumbent systems. Sales hiring (42 roles) vastly outpaces engineering (27), reflecting a sales-led GTM motion scaling into new regions.
