Content Filtering

Forcepoint Email Security Cloud allows you to block or mask file attachments with extensions that you specify. This allows you to control what types of file attachments are allowed into the organization.

Example text For additional protection, we have configured Forcepoint Email Security Cloud to disable file extensions for the following attachment file types: XXXX. This prevents attachments from automatically running when you open the email or double-click the attachment. If you need to access an attachment, contact the helpdesk.

Forcepoint Email Security Cloud provides bandwidth-saving features that allow messages over certain sizes to be non-delivered, quarantined, or delayed until outside of business hours.

Example text Large email messages take up bandwidth and slow down our Internet connection, therefore we have implemented the following restrictions:

Inbound email messages over XXMB will not be delivered.
Inbound and outbound email messages over XXMB will be quarantined, and you will receive a notification email. If this happens and you need to release the email, contact the helpdesk.

Emails bigger than XXMB will be delayed and delivered overnight when their affect on our Internet connection will not be noticed.

The attachment parking feature allows you to strip attachments over a defined size from email and park them in a secure quarantine store for collection by the recipient over HTTPS.

Example text

People are often sent large file attachments that take up bandwidth and slow down our Internet connection. Often these are not needed or can be discarded once read. We have therefore implemented a feature within our Forcepoint Email Security Cloud email service that will strip attachments over XXMB in size from your email and park them in a secure store for you for up to XX days. You will receive an email when this happens, with an annotation (text at the bottom) followed by a link. Click this link and you will be given the option to save the file or open it.

Enforcing controls using lexical rules could be contentious. Forcepoint recommends that you communicate that they have been implemented.

Example text

To protect you and the business, we have implemented a number of rules that analyze email for inappropriate content and words. Please see the company computer use policy for further detail about what is deemed inappropriate use of email. If you receive or send email that contravenes our email policy, Forcepoint Email Security Cloud will send you a notification email.
