Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Forcepoint yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Forcepoint is known for its critical infrastructure connectivity, NGFW, secure remote access, deep packet inspection” Llama 4 Maverick · OT/IoT security · direct prompt · alternative

“Combines DSPM + DDR + DLP in one AI-native platform for hybrid environments.” Perplexity Sonar · DSPM · comparative prompt · alternative

“Choose Forcepoint for hybrid environments needing air-gapped deployment” Kimi K2 · DSPM · comparative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“DLP vendors like CyberHaven, Forcepoint, Digital Guardian, and McAfee miss the discovery, posture management” Claude Haiku 4.5 · DSPM · negative prompt · hard negative

“Do not buy traditional enterprise DLP suites (like Broadcom/Symantec or Forcepoint)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · DSPM · paraphrase prompt · hard negative

“Platforms to Be Cautious About: Forcepoint: While it offers critical infrastructure security, it is not a pure-play OT monitoring tool.” Mistral Small · OT/IoT security · negative prompt · soft negative

“Recurring high-severity vulnerabilities despite patches (Network Intelligence reviews 2026).” Grok 4.20 · OT/IoT security · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Forcepoint. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 48 of the 51 answers that named Forcepoint and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page forcepoint.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. Of its titles that name a category, most name DLP (91); 7 name its categories the models place it in. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Forcepoint's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Forcepoint, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Forcepoint by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Forcepoint is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name Forcepoint, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
