Introduction

Forcepoint Email Security in Azure provides the comprehensive protection of the email solution hosted on a Forcepoint appliance, but in the public cloud. Deployed in a Microsoft Azure environment, Forcepoint Email Security allows inbound, outbound, and internal email to be analyzed for data loss or malicious email threats in the cloud. Email containing sensitive data can be permitted, quarantined, or encrypted. Sensitive attachments can also be dropped.

This document covers the installation of Forcepoint Email Security in Azure versions 8.5, 8.5.3, 8.5.4, and 8.5.5.

In versions 8.5.3, 8.5.4, and 8.5.5, two types of deployment are available: both Forcepoint Email Security and Forcepoint Security Manager deployed in Azure, or Forcepoint Email Security deployed in Azure with Forcepoint Security Manager onpremises. Additional combinations of on-premises and Azure appliances can be configured as needed. Configuration in Azure and Microsoft Office 365 is required after deployment.

In version 8.5, only one deployment is available: Forcepoint Email Security in Azure, with Forcepoint Security Manager deployed on-premises. This deployment requires a site-to-site Virtual Private Network (VPN) in Azure with connectivity to SQL Server and Forcepoint Security Manager running on-premises. See Azure Deployment Steps: Version 8.5.
