Introduction

Forcepoint Email Security is a cloud or on-premises appliance-based system that prevents malicious email threats from entering an organization’s network and protects sensitive data from unauthorized email transmission.

Forcepoint Email Security is available on Forcepoint V Series and X Series appliance security blades, and on virtual appliances, which can be downloaded from the Forcepoint Customer Hub downloads menu. You may also deploy Forcepoint Email Security in a Microsoft Azure cloud environment. Deployment in a Microsoft Azure environment includes options for installing Forcepoint Email Security appliances and Forcepoint Security Manager and SQL Server entirely in Azure, or combining certain on-premises and Azure components.

Note: Forcepoint X series appliance is supported until Forcepoint Email Security v8.5.5.
