Trevo · Smart job discovery for the Israeli tech market

Forcepoint is a cybersecurity company headquartered in Austin, Texas, focused on data security and network security for enterprise and government customers. It is not an Israeli-founded company, though it has had R&D and operational presence in Israel through acquired entities.

Forcepoint was formed from the 2015 merger of Websense and Raytheon Cyber Products, with Raytheon holding a majority stake. In 2021, Francisco Partners acquired the commercial business of Forcepoint from Raytheon Technologies, separating it from the government-focused division (which was later rebranded as Everfox).

Forcepoint's primary focus after the Francisco Partners acquisition has been data-centric security — specifically Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and Secure Web Gateway (SWG) products aimed at protecting data as it moves across users, devices, and cloud environments. Its customers are primarily large enterprises and government agencies. The company has emphasized a "human-centric" framing for its security approach, meaning it analyzes user behavior as a signal for risk rather than focusing purely on perimeter defense.

Forcepoint's named product lines include Forcepoint DLP, Forcepoint ONE (a converged security platform covering SWG, CASB, and Zero Trust Network Access), and Forcepoint Web Security. The Forcepoint ONE platform was positioned as the company's SASE-aligned offering for cloud-delivered security. The government-side products, including those related to cross-domain security, were separated into Everfox following the split.

Forcepoint competes in the DLP and SASE markets against vendors including Netskope, Zscaler, and Symantec (Broadcom). The DLP market has become increasingly competitive as endpoint and cloud security vendors have added data protection capabilities. Forcepoint has historically held a position in enterprise DLP and secure web filtering, markets where it built its base through the Websense product lineage.

Forcepoint's Israel connection is primarily through its acquisition of Skyfence, an Israeli CASB startup, which became part of the Forcepoint product portfolio. Detailed current information about the size or functions of any remaining Israel office is not available in public sources I can confirm.
