Neo endpoint

The Forcepoint Neo endpoint settings tab provides options for better management and troubleshooting of the endpoints to administrators. Administrators can now control Forcepoint Neo endpoint operational mode from the Cloud Portal, for advance troubleshooting and compatibility with 3rd party applications.​

Over the air updates

The settings allow administrators to control which Forcepoint Neo endpoint software versions are pushed to the endpoints.

Configuration

Administrators can control all of the following from the Configuration widget:

  • Features: Control which products get enabled on the endpoint based on licenses. It can be the Neo Web, User Activity Monitoring, and Device Control.
  • Displayed customer name: Set the customer name that is displayed on the Neo endpoint console.
  • Intercept web traffic Control traffic forwarding from Forcepoint Neo to the Forcepoint Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway.
    Note: This configuration is applicable only for the Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway customers (with Neo Web).
  • Analyze web content for SSL decryption. SSL decryption is required for inspecting text and files sent over web protocols to monitor and protect data ex-filtration. In addition, SSL decryption is also required for extracting the URL path and HTTP headers to allow the Forcepoint Disposition Service to determine whether to allow or block access to a particular web resources. Administrators can go to Settings > Neo Endpoint > Analyze web content and disable or enable SSL decryption on the endpoint. Also, by enabling or disabling the Inspect web traffic for private networks option, for web traffic sent to private IP addresses, the Neo endpoint can be set to not perform SSL decryption.
  • Default domain for local users: Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway uses the down-level logon name of the end-user to determine which web protection policy to enforce on web requests. When the end-user logs in as local user (common in macOS), there is no domain part in the down-level logon that Neo endpoint sends to Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway. Using the option to set Custom domain name, administrators can provide a UPN domain name and an NTLM domain name.

  • Endpoint connectivity to Neo cloud platform: Control the endpoint connectivity to the Neo cloud platform. Allows manual configuration of proxy settings for proxies that require authentication.
    Note: Once you make a change, the Neo installer will be updated with the proxy configurations. If you face issues in connecting the Neo endpoint to the cloud (due to proxy that requires authentication)- you should download the installer package again (after setting the proxy) and reinstall the same on the endpoint.
