Forcepoint Email Encryption

The email hybrid service can perform cloud-based message encryption on outbound messages if your subscription includes both the Forcepoint Email Security Hybrid Module and Forcepoint Email Security - Encryption Module.

The email hybrid service must be registered and enabled in order to use Forcepoint Email Encryption. See Forcepoint Email Security Administrator Help for details about hybrid service registration.

After Forcepoint Email Encryption is enabled, configure advanced email encryption by selecting the Forcepoint Email Encryption option in the pull-down menu Encryption method (Settings > Inbound/Outbound > Encryption).

Because Forcepoint Email Encryption does not function properly with the self-signed certificate provided with Forcepoint Email Security, a trusted third-party certificate from a CA is required. See Trusted third-party certificates for a list of trusted certificates to use with the Forcepoint Email Encryption function. See Generating encryption keys and a CSR for information regarding CSR generation.
