Forcepoint alternative: FAQ
.jpg)
Looking at a Forcepoint alternative? Here's how an on-device secure web gateway compares to a backhaul-based proxy, and what changes when traffic stops detouring through data centers.
What is the best Forcepoint alternative?
dope.security is a strong Forcepoint alternative that inspects traffic on the device instead of backhauling it through data centers. It delivers the same SSE functions, including secure web gateway, CASB, and DLP, from a lightweight agent, so traffic flies direct to its destination. That removes the network detour and runs up to 4x faster than legacy proxy SWGs.
Why do companies look for a Forcepoint alternative?
Companies look for a Forcepoint alternative to cut backhaul latency and platform complexity. Like other legacy SSE vendors, Forcepoint routes traffic through its data centers to inspect it, which adds delay for remote and traveling users. Teams want on-device inspection, a single console, and deployment measured in days rather than months.
How is dope.security different from Forcepoint architecturally?
The difference is where inspection happens. Forcepoint inspects traffic in its data centers, so traffic backhauls before it reaches the internet. dope.security inspects on the device with on-device SSL, so decrypted data stays local and traffic goes straight to its destination. Same security functions, no network detour.
Does replacing Forcepoint mean losing SSL inspection or DLP?
No. You keep both. dope.security runs SSL inspection on the device and includes Dopamine DLP, patented endpoint DLP that inspects file uploads and AI prompts for data in motion, plus CASB Neural for data at rest in OneDrive and Google Drive. Everything runs under one console.
How hard is it to migrate from Forcepoint to dope.security?
The migration is fast because dope.security is an agent, not an appliance or a data-center deployment. You push it silently through your existing MDM and confirm policies. Outreach Health secured 99% of its devices within a week, and a Fortune 100 company scaled from 900 to more than 18,000 devices in a matter of weeks via Intune.
Is there a Forcepoint alternative that works in China?
Yes. dope.security works in China and other restricted geographies where backhaul-based gateways like Forcepoint tend to struggle. Because inspection runs on the device instead of routing through distant data centers and the Great Firewall, traffic flies direct and stays fast. dope.security operates in 83+ countries.
