(Manual) Installing the agent on systems that do not have any Forcepoint agent previously installed

Install the agent on macOS endpoints after downloading from Forcepoint ONE Data Security portal.

The install process is broken into two steps – an Initial Agent Install followed by Trusting the SSL identity for your endpoint. The second step is only required if you intend to monitor email on the endpoint and if your email client is Microsoft Outlook.
Note: We recommend that the agent is deployed using distributions services such as Jamf for production roll outs.

Requirements for the agent installation:

  • Administrator credentials on the endpoint machine.
  • If you intend to monitor email on the endpoint and if your email client is Microsoft Outlook then you must first complete the steps described in Deploying the Forcepoint Outlook Add-in.
  • You will also require the SSL Identity you have created in the section Creating the Endpoint SSL Identity.
    • key.pem: Private key for the SSL identity.
    • server.pem: Self-signed certificate for the SSL identity.
