Installing the Analytics Engine

The Analytics Engine is used to calculate the risk of user activity, correlate it with other risky activity to create a case, and assign the case with a risk score. Risk scores appear in the Forcepoint Security Manager in both the Incident Risk Ranking report and on the dashboard.

This feature requires installing the on-premises Analytics Engine on a 64-bit Linux machine as described in this section. The Analytics Engine is also available as a virtual appliance. For more information, see Installing the Analytics Engine virtual appliance.
