Getting set up

Once you have registered your trial account and received your logon credentials, access the cloud portal via:

https://admin.forcepoint.net/portal

Refer to the Web Security Cloud Getting Started Guide for help with setting up your account, using the intuitive cloud web setup wizard.

Once you have completed the setup wizard, you will have a default policy that applies a standard set of enforcement actions to all users in your organization. You can tailor your configuration as required, by:

• Creating different policies to control traffic from different egress IP addresses that you manage (for example, different branch locations).
• Setting your policies to identify/authenticate individual users
• Assigning users and groups to specific policies, allowing you to create separate policies for different departments.
• Creating category exceptions for specific users and groups, defining override settings for some users within the policy.
• Setting proxy bypass destinations to allow direct access for trusted sites and applications that do not need to use the cloud proxy.
