Configuring the Data Protection Service

Data Protection Service is a cloud-based DLP analysis service that integrates with the following Forcepoint products:

  • Forcepoint CASB
  • Forcepoint Web Security Cloud
  • Forcepoint Email Security Cloud

Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway combines Data Protection Service with Forcepoint Web Security Cloud and Forcepoint CASB to protect your organization in one easy-to-consume service.

  • When Data Protection Service is integrated with Forcepoint Web Security Cloud, web traffic passing through the cloud gateway is sent to Data Protection Service for DLP analysis.
  • When Data Protection Service is integrated with Forcepoint CASB, the CASB gateway sends user actions in cloud applications (such as uploading data) to Data Protection Service for DLP analysis.
  • When Data Protection Service finds a breach or potential data loss, the findings are returned to the Web or CASB gateway for policy enforcement.
  • For more information or to get started with the integration of Forcepoint DLP and Forcepoint Cloud Web or Forcepoint CASB, see the Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway Integration Guide.

Data Protection Service for Email (available for Forcepoint DLP version 8.8.2 and later) enables Forcepoint Email Security Cloud to protect your organization against the threats of malware, spam, and other unwanted content in email traffic.

  • When Data Protection Service is integrated with Forcepoint Email Security Cloud, email messages that present potential data loss are sent to Data Protection Service for further inspection. Data Protection Service then returns its findings to the email cloud service for policy enforcement.
