Logging on to the Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway Portal

When you receive logon information in your confirmation email, log on to the cloud portal by clicking the provided link or by going to https://admin.forcepoint.net/portal.

Note: You must have port 443 open on your firewall to access the portal.

For the best experience, accept cookies from the cloud portal. The portal uses 2 cookies:

  • The first determines whether the web browser is willing to accept and store cookies for the portal; it contains no information.
  • The second contains temporary information about the session.

No personal information is stored in either cookie; both cookies are used only for the duration of the session.

When you connect to the cloud portal for the first time you are prompted to:

  • Accept the license agreement for each Forcepoint cloud product you have purchased.
  • Select a primary and backup cloud data center for storing reporting data. This is a one-time setup option. Once confirmed, the selection cannot be changed.
  • Provide an administrator email address and password recovery question for use in recovering a lost administrator password.

You can now configure your Forcepoint Email Security Cloud account.

A Default email policy has been created for you. To access it, click Email > Policy Management > Policies. The Default policy reflects the most commonly chosen policy options.

You can change your configuration at any time. Click Account to enter the setup area of the portal.
