Configuring the protector

Use the Forcepoint Security Manager to configure the protector to monitor SMTP:

Steps

  1. Go to the Settings > Deployment > System Modules page.
  2. Select the protector instance.
  3. On the General tab, select Enabled.
  4. On the Local Networks tab, select Include specific networks, then add all of the internal networks for all sites.
    • This list is used to identify the direction of the traffic.
    • The mail servers and mail relays should be considered part of the internal network.
  5. On the Services tab:
    1. Select the SMTP service.
    2. On the General tab, set the Mode to Monitoring bridge.
    3. On the Traffic Filter tab, set the Direction to Outbound.
    4. Click OK.
  6. Click OK to save the configuration.
  7. Click Deploy to activate the settings.
  8. Connect the protector to the outgoing connection and to the organization’s internal network.
    This should be done last, after the protector is fully configured.
