Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway | Forcepoint Email Security Cloud Help

Forcepoint Email Security Cloud protects your organization against the threats of malware, spam, and other unwanted content in email traffic.

Forcepoint Email Security Cloud provides maximum protection for email systems to prevent malicious threats from entering an organization's network. Each message is analyzed by a robust set of antivirus and antispam filters to prevent infected email from entering the network. Domain and IP address based message routing ensures reliable, accurate delivery of email.

The following add-on email modules are available in the cloud:

The Forcepoint Advanced Malware Detection for Email module enables you to:

Send suspicious files received in email messages to a cloud-hosted sandbox for analysis

Define whether suspected phishing messages should be quarantined, or allowed with suspicious URLs replaced by a link to a block page that you specify

The Forcepoint Email Security - Encryption Module provides an additional encryption option beyond TLS and manual exchange of passwords, offering identity-based encryption and customization of the email notification that the recipient sees before decrypting the message.

The Forcepoint Email Security - Image Analysis Module enables you to quarantine messages that have images attached to prevent potentially questionable images from entering your organization. You can also add permitted images to an allowlist.

You configure and manage your services using the Cloud Security Gateway Portal, also referred to in this Help as the cloud portal, or the cloud portal. The portal provides a central, graphical interface to the general configuration, policy management, and reporting functions of your service, making defining and enforcing email security an easy, straightforward process. You maintain control over the system through on-demand statistics and reporting, while powerful self-service tools allow end users to manage quarantined mail, helping relieve the burden on IT staff.
