Domains

Use the Main > Policy Management > Resources > Domains page in the Data Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager to define the domains that are sources or destinations of information in your organization, typically for HTTP or FTP transactions.

The domain name can be exported only in .CSV format.

You can either block or permit everything that goes to these domains.

For example, an organization that has just acquired another company, and has not yet combined user directories, could add the domain of the new company as an authorized destination.

To add a domain, click New, then:

  • Complete the fields as follows:
  • Enter a Domain name. Enter either:
    • A concrete domain name that is the name of a specific computer—like www.example.com
    • A name using wildcards to indicate a group of computers—for example,

      *.example.com, w*.example.com, www-?.example.com.

  • Enter a Description for this domain.
  • Click OK.

For expedience, you can also import a list of domains:

  1. Create a CSV file listing the domains of interest.
    • The file must be in UTF8 format.
    • The file must be of .CSV file type, not just include the .CSV extension.
    • List each domain name on a separate line.
    • Optionally, provide a description for each domain on the same line.
      • Separate the name and description by a comma.
      • If the description contains commas, place the description text in quotes. For example:

        myvendor.com,"VendorA, translation vendor for manuals"

  2. Click Import in the toolbar at the top of the content pane.
  3. Browse to the file you created.
  4. Click OK.

If a domain in the .CSV file is already in the domain list, the description from the file is used.

Note:

By default, the system excludes predefined SaaS domains from the destinations list for the Web DLP policy. The domains are part of a business unit called Excluded Resources.

To add domains and other resources to the business unit, or to remove them, click the business unit name to edit it.

See Business Units section, for more information.
