Forcepoint Proxy Connect Endpoint

Forcepoint Proxy Connect Endpoint can be deployed to secure endpoint machines whose Internet activity is managed by the hybrid or cloud service. The Forcepoint Proxy Connect Endpoint agent provides transparent authentication and enforces the use of hybrid or cloud web protection policies. This software also routes Internet requests to the hybrid or cloud service so that the appropriate policy can be applied.

  • Forcepoint Proxy Connect Endpoint redirects HTTP and HTTPS traffic to the hybrid or cloud service with an encrypted token that identifies the user, enabling the correct policy to be applied and reporting data to be correctly logged. No password or other security information is included.
  • For supported browsers, Forcepoint Proxy Connect Endpoint manipulates proxy settings in real time. For example, if Forcepoint Proxy Connect Endpoint detects it is at a hotspot, but the user has not finished registration, it removes its proxy settings until the gateway has successfully opened.

You can enable Forcepoint Proxy Connect Endpoint for some or all machines managed by the cloud or hybrid service.
