About the role: Forcepoint is looking for a highly productive Security Product Manager to define new product enhancements and go-to-market initiatives for Forcepoint Secure SD-WAN product-line. The increased adoption of Cloud & Saas applications is causing enterprises to rethink how they architect their WANs.  Hybrid WAN networks, which combine traditional MPLS WAN circuits with direct-to-Internet circuits, have emerged to achieve the right balance of cost & performance when accessing both on-premises & Saas- based applications. If you are a highly motivated, independent professional, we’d like to hear from you.
