Introduction
Forcepoint Private Access is a cloud-based zero trust network access solution that provides secure, authenticated remote access to internal applications.
Getting started
Forcepoint Private Access can be used to provide secure remote access to internal applications located on customer premises or in private cloud services, either as part of a Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway deployment, or as a standalone solution.
- Setup overview
  Use this workflow to get started with your Private Access service. This setup overview covers setting up Private Access, configuring private applications, and enabling remote access from your Cloud Security Gateway or standalone users.
- Initial setup
  When you begin setting up your Private Access service, your initial setup tasks include adding administrators, checking and editing your sites and connections, importing users and groups, and configuring an identity provider for single sign-on.
- Define private application access control
  Configure the private applications that will be enabled for remote access, and define private application access control rules.
  - Define private applications
    Define the private applications that users will access remotely.
  - Create private application policy rules
    Create private application policy rules to define the remote access requirements for your applications, as well as the threat inspection settings you will apply to remote application traffic.
- Configure remote access
  Configure remote access to private applications using the endpoint client. The process for configuring remote access to your private applications varies depending on whether you are using Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway, or Private Access as a standalone solution.
- Test private application connectivity
  When you have completed setting up access to your private applications, test that you can access the application from outside your corporate network, using the endpoint client.
Connectivity
The Administration > Connectivity section provides options to configure your sites, the private applications that hosted at your sites, and to deploy the endpoint client for Private Access standalone end users.
Dashboard
The dashboard displays a summary of service activity over time.
Administration
The Administration tab provides access to configuration settings for your organization. Use this tab to set up connectivity, authentication, administrators, log management, and resources.
Authentication
The Administration > Authentication section provides settings to support end-user provisioning and authentication via integration with your SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) compliant Identity Provider (IdP).
Policies
The Private Access policy tab is used to configure the processing rules that are used to control access to resources, and to inspect and secure traffic that is routed through the service. Private applications policy controls and secures remote access to internal applications.
