Adding custom application groups

Use the Policy Management > Resources > Endpoint Application Groups > Application Group or Cloud Application Group page to define application groups that are not in the Forcepoint-defined list. To access this page, click New in the toolbar at the top of the content pane on the Endpoint Application Groups page.

  • A custom application group can contain predefined and/or custom endpoint applications.
  • Applications include locally-installed software packages, like Microsoft Word and Excel, as well as custom applications.
  • Cloud applications are those accessed over the web. To configure a custom application group:
  1. Enter a Name for the application group, such as Desktop Publishing.
  2. Enter a Description of the application group.
  3. In the Members box, click Edit to select applications to include in this group.
  4. Under Endpoint Operations, select the operations that should trigger content analysis for the applications in this group.

    Because screen captures are not analyzed for content, configure screen capture settings for individual endpoint applications (not application groups).

    Note: Screen captures cannot be blocked in macOS 11.
  5. Click OK.
