Gained deep visibility into web threats and protect data across hybrid environments
The biggest benefit of Forcepoint [Private Offer Only] from a technical perspective is the solution's features and functionality. Visibility creates a process to address anomalies, and visibility is how Forcepoint [Private Offer Only] is helpful. Visibility is the first step in threat detection, as what you cannot see, you cannot protect. When you have visibility, you can establish a path for remediation. This flexibility is important because data localization is one of the challenges customers face. Some customers prefer an on-site implementation, while others are comfortable with a hybrid environment that includes both cloud and on-site solutions. Depending on the customer's requirements and anything related to compliance or their company's inherent requirements, they choose to go for on-premises or cloud deployment.

Phishing awareness campaigns have improved training impact but still need smarter automation
I think Gophish could be improved with more automation, for instance. It is great that you can create templates, schedule them, and do everything you want in Gophish, but it would be nice to have a small integrated AI model with which you could create email templates and phishing templates. It would be nice if Gophish implemented artificial intelligence. I wish Gophish could provide more support and be more advanced and that they continue developing it because it seems that Gophish does not get many updates, and I think they need to implement more features. It is great because it is free, but it needs more features. It would be cool if there was an artificial intelligence model that could create phishing campaigns or templates or email templates for you integrated within Gophish. I would rate it a seven. It is quite good and free software, but it needs more substance. It also depends on the number of clients a company has; it may be necessary to launch Gophish in a staggered way, which I also think is a drawback Gophish has. The issue is that if there are many people being targeted, for example, 5,000 employees in a company and you send 5,000, it may be that sending so many messages gets blocked by the security systems companies have. I think that Gophish could also improve the message sending flows. I gave it a seven because there are things to improve and it is not perfect. As I said before, it would be nice if templates could be created with AI, integrated into Gophish using an API with Gemini or ChatGPT or whichever, but the point is that it would be nice if the sending flows at large scale were better managed. When you send a phishing campaign to 5,000 people, you have to send it in sections in a staggered way, for example: to these 5,000 people it is going to be sent between eight in the morning and four in the afternoon. If you send them all at once, the phishing may get blocked and then the campaign has no effect. I would like it if Gophish implemented more improvements because they are needed, as it is kind of a bit stagnant. I hope that in the future they add more improvements including creating personalized templates with artificial intelligence and improving the message sending flows.
