DKIM is an authentication method designed to protect email recipients from spoofed messages. The DKIM signing feature, available on the Encryption tab of your email policies, can be used to digitally sign outbound messages, providing sender address and message integrity validation for message recipients.
When DKIM signing is enabled, the cloud service signs outgoing messages from specified sender domains/subdomains with a private key, adding a DKIM-Signature header. Recipient servers can use the information in this header to verify the message signature against Forcepoint's public key, validating that the sender address has not been forged, and the message has not been altered in transit.
DKIM signing rules can be configured on the Email > Policies > [policy name] > Encryption tab. Define DKIM signing rules to authenticate sender domains or subdomains, using one of your domains as a signing domain. Granular sender/recipient options are available to include or exclude specific sender addresses, or sender/recipient combinations.

The encrypted message settings, found on the Antivirus tab of an email policy, are used to quarantine messages that contain encrypted archive files, and messages encrypted using a standard such as PGP or S/MIME. Such messages pose a security risk because the service cannot scan the content of encrypted messages and attachments. With these settings enabled, encrypted messages are quarantined in order to prevent potential virus infection.
The option appears beneath the Encrypted messages settings in both the inbound rule and outbound rule sections of the
Antivirus tab of your policies. Click the
Encrypted Message Bypass link to enter a set of sender/recipient email addresses, groups, or domains that are permitted to send or receive encrypted messages through the service.
The Help > Data Privacy menu within the Security Portal has been revised to include updated documentation on the management of personal data within the Forcepoint cloud infrastructure. The relevant menu options appear depending on your product licensing, and provide updated information on Forcepoint Web Security Cloud and Forcepoint Email Security Cloud. The updated documents replace the previous Data Privacy FAQ.
