Introduction
Forcepoint Web Security deployed in a Microsoft Azure environment allows you to develop and enforce policies to protect your network. Together, a series of web protection components provide security for web-based transactions, as well as management, user identification, alerting, reporting, and troubleshooting capabilities. The Content Gateway component performs advanced content analysis precisely when it is needed—as the content flows through the proxy. The results of analysis are used by Forcepoint Web Security to protect you from malicious content and apply your Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).
In order to deploy Forcepoint Web Security in Azure, a virtual network must be created and configured with subnets, each of which should have its own network security group. The virtual network must also be configured with a resource for terminating a site-to-site Virtual Private Network (VPN).
Create Azure virtual machines on which the Web Security components will be installed. The Azure installation process then mirrors the process used for software deployments.
