Distributing resources

Forcepoint DLP supports multi-site, distributed deployments. Among other examples:

  • In addition to the management server, there can be one or more supplemental Forcepoint DLP servers to balance the load.
  • The Web Content Gateway includes its own local policy engine to supplement the policy engine on other servers.
  • It is possible to have distributed (primary and secondary) fingerprint repositories.
  • The crawlers on the Forcepoint DLP servers can be used for fingerprint and discovery scans, or standalone instances of the crawler agent can be added to improve performance.

Network architecture and geographical factors of the organization contribute to determining the best way to distribute Forcepoint DLP resources.
