Forcepoint ONE SSE enables you to enforce user authentication using any one of the three methods.
Provisioning new domains
You can provision as many email domains as you wish to add into the Forcepoint ONE SSE system. Every email domain that you wish to use within Forcepoint ONE SSE must be configured, along with a corresponding authentication type for users logging in with email addresses in that domain.
Configure common components
Describes how to configure common components such as login policies, various notifications, custom notification files and so on.
Configuring notifications and reports
Admins can create custom notification objects that can be applied to policies and reports. This will determine which admins or users are notified when a policy is violated and what the custom message says.
Configuring custom notification files
The Custom Notification Files are used when configuring a cloud policy to quarantine files when matching based on a condition. This file will replace the original file that is quarantined.
Custom URL Categories
When using the SmartEdge agent or Cloud-SWG to provide controls over sites/applications based on application categories or trustworthiness, admins can create their own group of specific domains to apply policy to.
Adding custom locations
The Custom Locations page located under Protect > Objects is where you can define custom locations that can be used on the policies page for controlling and performing actions in protected applications.
Configuring login policies
The Forcepoint ONE SSE Login Policy allows admins to apply global login policies to their users across all protected cloud applications contextually based on a number of variables such as user group, device, location and behavior.
Set up automatic log collection for Shadow IT reporting

Configuring managed device identification
Forcepoint ONE SSE provides three methods to distinguish between managed and unmanaged devices. This allows for greater restrictions to be applied to users using unmanaged devices.
Setup traffic steering
Forcepoint ONE 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 ONE SSE.
Deploying SmartEdge Agent
Forcepoint ONE SSE's SmartEdge endpoint agent provides Secure Web Gateway (SWG) controls on managed devices without the latency or overhead costs involved with backhauled cloud proxies or physical SWG boxes.
Deploying Cloud SWG
Cloud SWG solution enables web traffic filtering when a SmartEdge agent cannot be deployed on the end user's machine, such as for Guest users or IoT devices or when the organization does not want to deploy an agent.
Deploying Mobile Agent
Forcepoint ONE Mobile enables productivity via secure web access to corporate resources while protecting the user’s mobile device from web threats. It provides protection to iOS and iPadOS devices.
Configuring SWG settings
On the Protect > Forward Proxy > Settings page, you can set Cloud SWG Session Timeout, Cloud SWG Certificate Authority and Bypass Domains, Explicit Proxy PAC URLs and Bypass Domains, Host IPs or Subnets.
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.
Predefined DLP patterns
Predefined DLP patterns are those data patterns which are already available in Forcepoint ONE SSE and can be used while configuring policies.
Creating simple data pattern
Simple patterns allow you to set specific keyword triggers, create regular expressions, or use special keywords to match custom properties.
Creating advanced data pattern
Advanced DLP Pattern Objects allow you to form more complicated patterns that use several primitives combined into expressions using boolean logic, including weighted counts of the number of matches found for specified DLP patterns.
Creating exact match data pattern
Allows you to upload a tokenized csv file to scan through your data-at-rest looking for exact matches based on the data in the uploaded file. You can create an Exact Match pattern in a similar way to creating a Simple or Advanced pattern.
Creating file fingerprinting data pattern
The File Fingerprinting type allows you to create a fingerprint based on a doc or a number of docs to perform a percentage-based match.
Creating file mime data pattern
File Mime Type allows you to create a pattern looking at the mime type (the format of the file itself) rather than based on the content inside of the file.
Creating file size data pattern
Admins can also choose to control files based on their size. This will allow admins to ensure that users are not downloading large files or preventing large files from being uploaded to their sanctioned cloud storage application.
Creating file metadata data pattern
The File Metadata data pattern type allows you to specify the exact inherent metadata and value you wish to match on.
Configuring FSM/FONE DS controlled policies for CASB and SWG channels
