Encryption

The Forcepoint Email Security - Encryption Module secures delivery of email by ensuring that it is not forwarded as plain text ‘in the clear.’ The Encryption Module encrypts the transport layer protocols being used to deliver the email at the edge of the network - the point where it leaves the secure environment of the local area network. This enables administrators to configure secure email communications among business partners and individuals, using either a transport layer encrypted ‘tunnel’ between specified email servers or mail transfer agents, ad hoc encryption for mail transfer agents that do not support TLS, or advanced identity-based encryption available with the Encryption Module.

To view and configure encryption settings for a policy, select the Encryption tab. See Forcepoint Email Security Cloud Help for details.
