Forcepoint DLP provides several options for email DLP:
*
The protector can act as an MTA to prevent data loss over email.
*
The protector MTA can be combined with Forcepoint DLP Email Gateway to offer a combination of on-premises and cloud-based data protection.
*
Forcepoint Email Security can act as an MTA, instead of the protector.
Enforcement over the web channel (Web DLP) also has several options:
*
The protector can monitor and report on web traffic.
*
Use the Web Content Gateway appliance included with Forcepoint DLP Network.
*
Use Forcepoint Web Security, instead of the protector
*
Provide web DLP via a third-party proxy via ICAP.
In deployments that use the protector for email DLP, web DLP, or both, configure the protector via the Settings > Deployment > System Modules page in the Data Security module of the Security Manager.
Select a protector node in the list to open the Edit Protector page, which includes 4 tabs:

Tip 
The protector can also be configured via its command-line interface (CLI). See the Deployment & Installation Center for details.
