Protect cloud applications
This chapter describes how to setup various cloud applications in Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE so that Admins can monitor the data at rest and data in motion.

Verify access and perform initial configuration
Describes about initial account configurations, such as creating and assigning administrator accounts and roles, and configuring portal access and timeout policies in Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE.
Understanding User and Groups
You can configure user identity settings and synchronize user information from your directory in order to assign policies to users or groups.
Configure common components
Describes how to configure common components such as login policies, various notifications, custom notification files and so on.
Setup traffic steering
Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE supports SmartEdge Agent and Cloud SWG traffic steering methods. This chapter describes steps to deploy each of those so that traffic can be forwarded to Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE.
Configure DLP
DLP is a data loss prevention capability that allows for pattern matching (via regular expressions and keywords) against data as it is either being downloaded, uploaded, or scanned via API at rest.
Configure Zero Trust Network Access
Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE's Agentless and Agent-based Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) provides an alternative to VPNs allowing admins to provide inline protection to internal apps without the need for VPN service to be running on the user's local machine.
Protect cloud applications
This chapter describes how to setup various cloud applications in Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE so that Admins can monitor the data at rest and data in motion.
- Adding managed cloud applications
  There are two primary ways for adding a licensed application.
- Protecting data at rest
  You can configure various cloud applications to enable offline scanning of cloud applications.
- Protecting data in motion
  You can configure single sign-on for cloud applications and then configure policies to audit and control access to these protected cloud applications.
- Configuring direct set cookies
  At times you may encounter applications that set cookies on direct request that prevents or breaks a login attempt to an application with users being sent through the Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE reverse proxy.
Configure policies
Describes how to configure policies for your application in Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE portal so that you can monitor the data at rest and data in motion.
Monitor and analyze traffic
You can perform steps to monitor and analyze the traffic. Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE Log Export REST API allows customers to query and pull cloud and access Logs. Alternatively, customers with Splunk or QRadar can instead utilize the Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE Splunk app or the Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE QRadar App for easy integration with the Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE REST API to extract Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE logs.
Configure applications
Forcepoint Data Security Cloud | SSE supports various cloud applications so that Admins can monitor data which is in transit, in motion and at rest.
