Integration Option Screen

Applies to:
  • Forcepoint Web Security, v8.5.x
  • Forcepoint URL Filtering, v8.5.x

This screen appears if Filtering Service is selected for installation.

Indicate whether this is a standalone or integrated installation, then click Next.
  • Install Forcepoint Web Security to connect to Content Gateway: Content Gateway is responsible for monitoring Internet requests, forwarding them to Filtering Service, and performing real-time analysis.
  • Install Forcepoint Web Security or Forcepoint URL Filtering in standalone mode (no real-time analysis): Network Agent is responsible for monitoring Internet requests and forwarding them to Filtering Service for evaluation. Network Agent also sends block messages.
    Note: To enable standalone mode, Network Agent must be installed in your network.
  • Install Forcepoint URL Filtering to integrate with a third-party product or device: A third-party firewall, proxy server, cache, or network appliance (integration product) is responsible for monitoring Internet requests and sending them to Filtering Service for evaluation. Supported integration options include:
    • Cisco ASA or routers
    • Citrix
    • ICAP Service
    • Microsoft Forefront TMG
    • Other supported integration (as a “universal” integration)

    In an integrated environment, Filtering Service sends block pages, if necessary, to users attempting to access blocked content. Network Agent can optionally be used to manage requests on Internet protocols not managed by the integration product (for example, protocols for instant messaging).

    If you select this option, the next screen prompts you to identify which integration product you are using.
