Step 4: Configure Email DLP policies in the Forcepoint Security Manager

See “Configuring the DLP Email Policy” or “Creating Custom DLP Policies” in Forcepoint DLP Administrator Help for information on configuring your policies and editing the email destination for the Network Email channel.

When configuring DLP policies for integration with Forcepoint Email Security Cloud, keep the following in mind:

  • Email direction: Forcepoint Email Security Cloud only applies to outbound emails.
  • Supported actions are Permit, Encrypt, and Quarantine. The “drop attachments” action is not supported for Forcepoint Email Security Cloud. If this option is configured, the actual mitigation that will take place is Quarantine, but the incident report will display “drop attachments” as the action.
  • Quarantined email messages cannot be released from the Forcepoint Security Manager. To release quarantined messages, use the cloud portal.
  • For multiple recipients (destinations), the strongest mitigation applies to all destinations.
