Introduction
For information about version compatibility, see the Version Equivalencies Between Forcepoint DLP and EIP Infrastructure/Web/Email Components.
Note: Forcepoint DLP v8.5.1 is supported with Forcepoint Web and Email Security v8.5.0. Forcepoint DLP v8.6.x, v8.7.x, and v8.8.x are supported with Forcepoint Web and Email Security v8.5.3 and
v8.5.4. Forcepoint DLP v8.5.0 and v8.5.2 are stand-alone versions of that product and cannot be integrated with other Forcepoint products.
A full Forcepoint deployment includes Forcepoint Web Security with optional Hybrid Module, Forcepoint DLP Network, Forcepoint DLP Endpoint, and Forcepoint Email Security with optional Hybrid Module.
- Forcepoint Security Manager, the management interface for Web, Email, and Data products, resides on a Windows server.
- Forcepoint Web Security may be deployed on Forcepoint appliances, dedicated Windows or Linux servers, or a combination of platforms. This guide covers the following configuration:
- The policy source (the standalone or primary Policy Broker and central Policy Server) resides separate from the management server, on another Windows or Linux server, or on a Forcepoint
appliance.
While this is not required and Policy Broker and Policy Server can reside on the management server machine, this configuration is recommended for full Forcepoint deployments to ensure optimum performance.
- Web Log Server resides separate from the management server on a dedicated Windows machine.
- The policy source (the standalone or primary Policy Broker and central Policy Server) resides separate from the management server, on another Windows or Linux server, or on a Forcepoint
appliance.
- Forcepoint DLP runs on Windows servers, optional protector appliances, and elsewhere in the network.
- Forcepoint Email Security enforcement components reside only on Forcepoint appliances. Management and reporting components reside on Windows servers.
Following is a diagram of a basic appliance-based deployment.
