Manual Install

You can install the Forcepoint F1E Endpoint agent on macOS.

The install process is broken into two steps – an initial agent install followed by trusting the SSL identity for your endpoint. The second step is only required if you intend to monitor email on the endpoint and if your email client is Microsoft Outlook.
Note: Forcepoint recommends to deploy the agent using distributions services such as Jamf for production roll outs.

Following are the requirements for agent installation:

  • Administrator credentials on the endpoint machine.
  • For the DLP installations, ensure the following:
    • If you intend to monitor email on the endpoint and if your email client is Microsoft Outlook then you must first deploy the Forcepoint Outlook Add-in.
    • You must create the SSL Identity, and generate the following:
      • key.pem: Private key for the SSL identity.
      • server.pem: Self-signed certificate for the SSL identity.
