Configuring real-time malware analysis

Forcepoint Web Security Cloud analyzes web content and detects threats using the Forcepoint Advanced Classification Engine (ACE). ACE provides inline, real-time composite defense assessments and adjusts your protection dynamically using on-the- fly content classification. You can configure how ACE analysis is performed in your web protection policies.

You can choose to protect your organization from inbound or outbound malware and executables. If you choose to block executables, any file whose contents appear to be executable is blocked. When a file upload or download is blocked, the user is presented with the notification page you select. This gives you peace of mind that the network remains uninfected while enabling employees to harness the business value of the dynamic web.
