Introduction

The Data Security (DLP Lite) feature in Forcepoint Web Security Cloud lets you monitor and prevent the loss of sensitive data and intellectual property via the web, as well as to easily assess your current level of risk exposure via reporting. You can protect intellectual property, data that is protected by national legislation or industry regulation, and data suspected to be stolen by malware or malicious activities. When DLP Lite is used for data loss prevention, basic data protection is provide by the cloud proxy.

Note: Integration with Data Protect Service is also available for Web Security Cloud customers. With this integration, enterprise data security is handled by the Data Protection Service. For further information, please contact your account manager.

This document guides you through the steps required to get started with Data Security (DLP Lite) for your web product using the Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway Portal, also referred to as the cloud portal.

Note: DLP Lite is not supported with the Direct Connect endpoint or I Series appliances.

The following steps are required to configure data security for your account.

  3. Configure reporting permissions

    This determines who can see data protection reports.

    In addition, you can optionally:

    • Configure privacy settings
    • Configure block pages
    • View the dashboard

    • View the audit trail
