Techday's 10 Minute IT Jams provide sharp, to-the-point insights into emerging and established technology companies that operate in the Asia-Pacific region.

Forcepoint has built its core mission on three simple words: “human-centric cybersecurity”.  Humans are an organisation’s perimeter and cybersecurity solutions should be designed and deployed to support them. Forcepoint offers solutions that cover three areas: user protection, data protection, and edge protection. 

In this interview, we speak with Forcepoint Asia Pacific strategic business director Nick Savvides, and Forcepoint senior sales engineer and solutions architect Matthew Bant.

In this video, Nick and Matt cover:

  • Who Forcepoint is and what it does
  • The company's Dynamic Edge Protection Suite and its new SASE solutions
  • What infrastructure and resources Forcepoint has in Asia Pacific, Australia, and New Zealand
  • How partners and customers can get in touch with the Forcepoint team.

Watch the video here.
