How to navigate Forcepoint email security end of life

Forcepoint email security is reaching end of life. For many businesses, this isn’t just a product sunset — it’s a turning point.

Whether you're still running the platform or already weighing alternatives, now’s the time to rethink what email security should look like in today’s threat landscape.

Forcepoint’s journey: the long road to end of life

Forcepoint has been part of the enterprise cybersecurity stack for years. But it hasn’t kept pace with the way threats — or businesses — have evolved. Users have flagged issues ranging from phishing detection gaps and poor support to clunky integrations and stale UI. With performance slipping and investment shifting elsewhere, the EOL decision felt inevitable.

For those affected, this isn’t just a technical change — it’s a moment to reassess what good looks like.

Transitioning from Forcepoint: what to expect

Swapping out a core security system like Forcepoint isn’t a task you can rush. It affects users, operations, compliance — and confidence. But handled right, it’s also a chance to upgrade your posture and streamline your tools.

Step one is clarity. Map out your current environment, understand how Forcepoint is configured, and identify gaps or duplications. Use this window to build a stronger lifecycle plan, not just patch over what’s going away. Your replacement solution should align with your business goals, reduce complexity, and tighten protection.

Most importantly, your users can’t be left exposed. Security coverage must remain active throughout the migration — and any new solution should be up and running before the lights go out.

Looking for a Forcepoint email security alternative?

This isn’t about finding a like-for-like tool. It’s about choosing something that’s built for how businesses work today — cloud-native, smart, and seamless. That’s where TrustLayer Mail steps in.

TrustLayer provides inline, connector-based email security for Microsoft 365 with no MX record changes. It stops phishing, spoofing, malware, impersonation, and data loss before threats reach the inbox — without slowing users down or disrupting mail flow.

TL;DR: Forcepoint relies on legacy infrastructure and third-party integrations. TrustLayer brings everything together in one platform — without the lag.
