Integrating Forcepoint DLP and Forcepoint Web Security Cloud

Customers licensed for Cloud Security Gateway (or Forcepoint Web Security Cloud and Forcepoint Web Security DLP Module) can extend their existing enterprise DLP policies to web traffic analyzed and protected through the Forcepoint cloud proxy infrastructure. This includes support for advanced data classification technologies, such as structured and unstructured data fingerprinting and the use of web categories to build targeted DLP policies and enrich incident records.

The integration between Forcepoint DLP and Forcepoint Web Security Cloud is available as of Forcepoint DLP 8.8 and the October 2020 release of Forcepoint Web Security Cloud. The integration enables Forcepoint Web Security Cloud to use the Forcepoint DLP policy engine to analyze and apply rules to traffic enforced by Forcepoint Web Security Cloud.

Forcepoint Web Security Cloud can be configured to send user web requests that are considered potential security risks to the Data Protection Service for further review and evaluation. With this integration, enterprise data security, including blocking and monitoring data loss, is handled by the Data Protection Service rather then by the cloud proxy. The cloud proxy continues to handle web traffic.
