Forcepoint DLP Inline Proxy

Currently, Forcepoint F1E DLP uses its browser extensions to capture actions within web browsers. These extensions (in conjunction with File Access channel monitoring through the Advanced Tab) are used to enforce web inspection/policies on the endpoint machine.

The inline proxy, which runs locally on the Endpoint Client machine, is an alternative to enforce web policies and is intended to replace the use of Forcepoint Endpoint browser extensions eventually. Browser extensions will continue to be supported until we are satisfied with the inline proxy covering the web channel use cases.

It carries out local SSL decryption on the Endpoint Client to perform the required DLP analysis. Content is only decrypted locally and is re-encrypted before leaving the Endpoint.
