Administrator Help | TRITON AP-EMAIL | Version 8.3.x
Welcome to Forcepoint™ TRITON® AP-EMAIL, which provides maximum protection for email systems to prevent malicious threats from entering an organization's network. This email solution provides comprehensive on-premises email security hosted on a Forcepoint appliance. Each message is processed by a robust set of antivirus and antispam analytics to prevent infected email from entering the network. Domain and IP address based message routing ensures reliable, accurate delivery of email.
TRITON AP-EMAIL may be deployed on a V- or X-Series appliance or as a virtual appliance. See TRITON appliance documentation for details on getting started with an appliance.
A TRITON Manager (or console) installed on a separate Windows machine is required for administration functions. An Email module administrator uses the manager to control email system configuration settings.
A subscription to the Email Hybrid Module adds support for an email hybrid service pre-filtering capability in the cloud, which analyzes incoming email against a database of known malware. This feature can save network bandwidth and maintenance costs by dropping malicious email before it ever reaches an organization's network.
Enhance your security by adding the Email Sandbox Module, which includes a set of cloud-based functions, to your product subscription:
*
URL sandbox
*
Advanced file analysis
The URL sandbox provides real-time analysis of uncategorized URLs that are embedded in inbound email. The advanced file analysis function inspects email attachment file types that commonly contain security threats. See URL Sandbox and Advanced file analysis for details about these features.
Integration with the Email DLP Module provides valuable protection for an organization's most sensitive data and facilitates message encryption. Configure a data loss prevention policy in the TRITON console Data module to enable message encryption options that are configured in the Settings > Inbound/Outbound > Encryption page.
If your network includes Forcepoint web protection, you can also use its URL analysis function. Your email protection software queries the Forcepoint URL category master database and determines the risk level of a URL found in an email message. See URL analysis with Forcepoint Web protection solutions for information.
Logging and reporting capabilities allow a company to view system status and generate reports of system and email traffic activity.
A Personal Email Manager facility allows authorized end users to manage email messages that an email policy has blocked but that may be safe to deliver. End users can maintain individual Always Block and Always Permit lists of email addresses to simplify message delivery.
