Forcepoint DLP appliances

Forcepoint DLP Network includes the option to use Forcepoint DLP Email Gateway, Web Content Gateway, or protector appliance.

  • Forcepoint DLP Email Gateway is a virtual appliance for the Azure cloud infrastructure that can be used to protect data being sent through Exchange Online email
  • Two kinds of Web Content Gateway appliances can be used to provide DLP over the web channel.
    • One is included with Forcepoint DLP Network. It decrypts SSL content and permits the use of custom policies and fingerprinting.
    • One requires Forcepoint Web Security. It decrypts SSL content and provides URL categorization, content security, web policy enforcement, and more.
  • The protector is a soft appliance that intercepts and analyzes traffic on a variety of channels, such as email, HTTP, and FTP. (HTTP traffic is monitored but not enforced.) Forcepoint DLP also supports DLP content scanning with third-party proxies and data sharing solutions through the ICAP protocol.

A combined cloud and on-premises deployment of email DLP can be achieved using Forcepoint Email Security with the protector appliance. It is not possible, however, to deploy Forcepoint Email Security with Forcepoint DLP Email Gateway.
