Forcepoint Security Manager

Encryption is used for communication between the Forcepoint Security Manager server and the client machines used to access it.

On the server side, encryption is handled by the Forcepoint Java Cryptographic Module. On the client side, encryption is handled by the Web browser.

The different communication configurations allow the Forcepoint Security Manager to negotiate a variety of FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms and support different versions of Web browsers that might be running on the client machine. While it is expected that the users of the Forcepoint Security Manager configure their browser to be FIPS 140-2, this product configuration ensures that the server does not negotiate a non-FIPS approved algorithm.
