Web protection: Network Agent interface (N)

Network Agent is an optional component of Forcepoint Web Security and Forcepoint URL Filtering solutions. When used with Forcepoint Web Security, it can provide security for protocols other than HTTP and HTTPS. It also provides bandwidth optimization data and enhanced logging detail.

Network Agent is typically configured to see both inbound and outbound traffic in your network. The agent distinguishes between:

Requests sent from internal machines to internal machines (hits to an intranet server, for example)
Requests sent from internal machines to external machines such as web servers (user Internet requests, for example)

You choose whether blocking information for non-HTTP protocols is routed through interface C or interface N.

Note: Network Agent is supported on V Series appliances and on standalone servers.
