Cyera vs Forcepoint DSPM
Check differences in scope, deployment and cost. Use the evaluation questions to resolve what the sources leave open.
Read each action with its limits. General capability and environment marks do not establish a specific workflow. Unconfirmed means support was not established in our research.
| Compare | CyeraUpdated | Forcepoint DSPMUpdated |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | Cyera DSPM combines content classification with identity, access and exposure context, including access revocation and remediation workflows. This profile covers DSPM. Cyera prices DLP as a separate plan. [1] [8] | Forcepoint DSPM discovers and classifies data, while streaming integrations support activity monitoring. Its Microsoft 365 labeling integration writes classification results to Purview sensitivity labels. [2] [3] |
| Restrict file sharing in Microsoft 365 | Cyera documents revoking public and organization-wide access in SharePoint and OneDrive, including files accessed through Teams. [9] The documented actions change access and record an audit trail. Test inherited permissions and rollback separately from any requirement to block content in transit. [9] | This workflow has not been established in our research. |
| Find sensitive data in S3 | Cyera documents detecting exposed sensitive files in S3 and removing public access. [10] The release describes exposure remediation. Require the supported file types, scan exclusions and sampling settings for the discovery evaluation. [10] | This workflow has not been established in our research. |
| Classify Snowflake data | Cyera documents column-level discovery of sensitive Snowflake data and identification of overexposed columns. [11] Require the scan scope, sampling settings and connector permissions for the proposed deployment. The release establishes column discovery but does not provide a complete connector setup or exclusion matrix. [11] | This workflow has not been established in our research. |
| Mask sensitive columns in Snowflake | Cyera documents an Apply Snowflake Tag action that links a sensitive column to a native Snowflake dynamic masking policy. [11] Snowflake tag-based masking requires Enterprise Edition or higher and a policy matching the column data type. Confirm the Cyera entitlement, write permissions and existing tag-policy setup. Test results with authorized and unauthorized query roles. [11] [12] | This workflow has not been established in our research. |
| Classify on-prem file shares | Cyera documents discovery and classification of on-prem file shares. [7] Both connector-based and connectorless options are offered in SaaS or Outpost deployments. Require the deployment mode and data flow for each file store in the proposal. [7] | This workflow has not been established in our research. |

| Microsoft 365 | ● Full Releases document Exchange discovery and classification alongside native public and organization-wide sharing remediation for SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams. [4] [5] | ◐ Partial OneDrive and SharePoint Online support classification and Purview labels. SharePoint activity streaming needs additional API permissions and auditing. [2] [3] |
| AWS | ◐ Partial The S3 release documents sensitive-file exposure detection and public-access removal. Confirm the scan and control matrix for other AWS stores. [5] [10] | ◐ Partial AWS appears in the supported-provider catalog. Confirm exact services and scan limits. [1] |
| Google Cloud | ? Unconfirmed | ? Unconfirmed |
| Snowflake / Databricks | ● Full Snowflake scanning is documented separately from the findings-export integration. Databricks Unity Catalog scanning is listed in the integration catalog. [2] [3] | ● Full Databricks and Snowflake appear in the supported-provider catalog. Verify the supported objects and classifier setup. [1] |
| On-prem shares | ● Full Identity analysis maps Active Directory access to sensitive files on SMB shares, NetApp and Dell PowerScale. Confirm the connector and remediation scope. [5] | ? Unconfirmed |
| SaaS apps | ◐ Partial Releases document discovery and classification for Salesforce files and ServiceNow ITSM records. The Slack integration sends alerts and is not evidence of Slack content scanning. [5] | ◐ Partial Box, Dropbox and iManage connectors are listed. Confirm account editions and scan scope. [1] |
| Deployment and data handling | Cyera offers SaaS and Outpost deployment models. Its implementation FAQ places Outpost scanning inside the customer account. [6] [7]
