Cybersecurity isn’t just about blocking threats. It’s about protecting data, securing access, and keeping users safe — without slowing everything down. That’s where legacy vendors fall behind.
Forcepoint has deep roots in traditional network security. But the market has moved on. Today’s businesses need fast, integrated, cloud-native protection that works across email, web, apps and identity. Not stitched-together point tools or sunset product lines.
TrustLayer was built to fix the mess left behind by platforms that grew through acquisition, not intention.
Forcepoint helped define the early days of enterprise cybersecurity. But today’s threat landscape — and user expectations — demand more. Modern businesses need lightweight, cloud-native security that adapts to real-world use. Not stitched-together tools and rigid licensing.
TrustLayer is built for speed, simplicity and real-time protection — with deep visibility across email, web and cloud apps, all in one place.
Forcepoint is a legacy cybersecurity vendor offering email and web gateways, CASB, DLP and firewall solutions.
Their cloud security platform, Forcepoint ONE, emerged through acquisitions like Bitglass — but still lacks full coverage across Microsoft 365 email security and configuration management.
As product lines consolidate and evolve, many teams are reassessing whether Forcepoint still meets their needs.
TrustLayer is a modern, integrated cybersecurity platform designed for growing businesses.
It delivers inline protection across Microsoft 365 email, web browsing, cloud app usage and posture management — without the complexity of legacy infrastructure.
Everything connects through one engine, one dashboard, and one policy model. It’s faster to deploy, easier to manage, and designed for how businesses actually work.

TL;DR: Forcepoint relies on legacy infrastructure and third-party integrations. TrustLayer brings everything together in one platform — without the lag.
Forcepoint pricing depends on which modules you need, whether you’re migrating legacy licences, and what deployment model you choose. That can make forecasting difficult — especially for mid-sized organisations.
TrustLayer offers transparent, scalable pricing across its full platform. No bolt-ons. No guesswork. Just secure email, web and cloud protection that grows with your business.
TrustLayer was head and shoulders above the rest. They clearly have a well-thought through product and unlike other products on the market, it has been designed to run in the cloud, rather than adapted for it.
When I saw a demo of TrustLayer's combined web, email and cloud (CASB) security platform at a trade show, I felt like I had stumbled across something that didn’t exist.
Whether you’re replacing Forcepoint Web Security, retiring Bitglass, or need a simpler Microsoft 365 email security solution — TrustLayer offers stronger protection with less complexity.
