The Forcepoint management server is a Windows machine that hosts core management components for all on-premises and hybrid Forcepoint security solutions. This machine hosts the Forcepoint Security Manager (Security Manager), which includes:
*
The infrastructure uniting all management components (see Forcepoint Management Infrastructure), including a settings database that holds administrator account information and other data shared by all management components
*
One or more management modules, used to access configuration, policy management, and reporting tools for a Forcepoint security solution. Available modules include:
*
The Web Security module
*
The Data Security module
*
The Email Security module
Although additional components may also reside on the management server, avoid placing the web protection Filtering Service or Network Agent components on the management server machine.
Optionally, in evaluation deployments or very small networks, SQL Server 2008 R2 Express may be installed on the management server to host the reporting databases.
