Email Security Manager Help | Email Security Solutions | Version 7.8.x
You can allow Email Security Gateway to analyze your email for regulatory compliance and acceptable use and protect sensitive data loss via email by enabling Data Security email policies in the Main > Policy Management > Policies page. Data Security policies are enabled by default. See Enabling Data Security policies for more information about activating data loss prevention policies.
Data Security Email Data Loss Prevention policy options are configured in the Data Security module of the TRITON Unified Security Center (Main > Policy Management > DLP Policies > Manage Policies). A new policy wizard provides the steps for creating a new Data Security email DLP policy. See Data Security Manager Help for details.
If you plan to use email encryption functions, you must configure a Data Security policy with an action plan that includes message encryption. See Data Security Manager Help for details.
You can also create filter actions in Email Security Gateway for use in a Data Security action plan. See Creating and configuring a filter action for information about configuring a Data Security filter action.
You must register an Email Security Gateway appliance with the Data Security manager in order to take advantage of its acceptable use, data loss prevention, and message encryption features. Registration is automatic when you enter a valid Email Security Gateway subscription key. Subsequent appliances are registered when you add them to the TRITON Unified Security Center from the Email Security management interface.
If the Status field in the Email Security Settings > General > Data Security page displays Unregistered, you must register with Data Security manually.
Use the following steps in the Email Security Settings > General > Data Security page to register a standalone appliance with the Data Security manager:
1.
Enter a valid Email Security Gateway subscription key in the Settings > General > Subscription page.
2.
Specify the IP address used for communication with Email Security Gateway in the Communication IP address drop-down list.
* 
Note 
The appliance C interface IP address is selected by default. This setting is recommended for Data Security registration.
3.
Select the Manual registration method to enable the Properties entry fields.
4.
Specify the following Data Security server properties:
*
IP address
*
User name
*
Password
5.
Click Register.
6.
You must deploy Data Security policies in the Data Security module to complete the process. Click the Data Security module tab and then click Deploy.
* 
Important 
You should wait until Data Security policies are completely deployed before you register another standalone appliance.
The following issues apply if you are deploying Email Security Gateway in an appliance cluster:
*
Register all the primary and secondary machines with Data Security before you deploy data loss prevention policies in Data Security. If you deploy Data Security policies on the primary appliance while you are registering a secondary machine with Data Security, the registration process for the secondary machine may not complete.
*
Ensure that all machines in a cluster use the same physical appliance interface (the C, E1, or E2 IP address) to register with Data Security.
