System alerts that Linking Service is not accessible

When your Forcepoint software subscription includes both Forcepoint Web Security and Forcepoint DLP modules, the 2 security solutions are integrated. A system alert appears on the Dashboard in the Forcepoint Security Manager when the Linking Service is not accessible or has been disabled.

When the Linking Service is working:

• Forcepoint DLP software gains access to user data gathered by Forcepoint Web Security components.
• Forcepoint DLP software can access Master Database categorization information.

To configure the Linking Service, go to the Settings > General > Services > Linking Service page in the Forcepoint Data Security module of the Security Manager.
