New features

This release of the product includes these new features. For more information and configuration instructions, see the Forcepoint Network Security Platform Product Guide, the Forcepoint Network Security Platform Installation Guide, and the Forcepoint NGFW Manager and VPN Broker Product Guide.

Explicit proxy support for HTTP and HTTPS protocols

The Security Engine can be configured to act as an explicit proxy for HTTP and HTTPS connections. Proxy authentication is supported.

Note: The Explicit Proxy feature requires a separate license.

HTTP/3 inspection (Experimental)

The Security Engine can now inspect the complete HTTP/3 connection by decrypting the traffic between the client and server. After inspection, the engine re-encrypts the data before forwarding it to the intended recipient. This feature's support status is experimental in this release.

SAML user authentication

Both Application Access Portal (previously SSL VPN Portal) and Browser Based User Authentication features now support user authentication via SAML.
