Adding the Hybrid Module to Forcepoint Web Security gives you a flexible, comprehensive security solution that combines on-premises and cloud-based policy enforcement, and lets you configure most of the hybrid features in your on-premises Forcepoint Security Manager.
An organization might use the robust on-premises software to protect a main office or campus, while smaller regional offices or satellite locations send their Internet requests through the hybrid service in the cloud. The hybrid service is also useful for users who are off-site, such as telecommuters, those who travel for business, and so on (see Hybrid service management of off-site users).
After installation, complete the following steps to enable hybrid policy enforcement:
1.
Activate your hybrid service account
2.
Filtered locations
3.
Specify sites not managed by the hybrid service (if any)
4.
Configure user access to the hybrid service
5.
Identification and authentication of hybrid users
6.
Send user and group data to the hybrid service
In order to ensure that the hybrid service has current policy, user, and group information, and that the on-premises reporting software has reporting data from users managed by the hybrid service, see Schedule communication with the hybrid service.
