Content Analysis

Forcepoint Email Security Cloud can perform the following granular content analysis on both inbound and outbound email messages:

  • Executables – Messages containing scripts and executables can be quarantined. This feature can be set up on a per-user basis within a policy.
  • Attachments – Attachments can be quarantined by file. This feature can be controlled by including or excluding specific file types. You can also mask attachments; this changes the file to prevent automatic execution.
  • Parking – Attachments can be parked in the cloud service infrastructure and the original email sent on to the recipient with a URL that locates the attachment for subsequent download if needed. This enables you to minimize the use of Internet bandwidth.
  • Lexical Analysis – The lexical rules feature scans for words and phrases against both pre-defined and custom dictionaries using Boolean operators and custom weighting and thresholds. This enables you to scan email for profanity and other undesirable content entering your organization. You can also check outbound messages for phrases that might include company confidential information, or could cause embarrassment, loss of reputation, or business.
