Administrator Help | Forcepoint Email Security | Version 8.4.x
Forcepoint Email Security combined with the Forcepoint Email Security Hybrid Module offers a flexible, comprehensive email security solution that lets you combine on-premises and hybrid (in-the-cloud) analysis as needed to manage inbound and outbound email for your organization.
The email hybrid service provides an extra layer of email analysis, stopping spam, virus, phishing, and other malware attacks before they reach the network and considerably reducing email bandwidth and storage requirements. You can also use the email hybrid service to encrypt outbound email before delivery to its recipient (your subscription must also include the Forcepoint Email Security - Encryption Module for this feature).
You can create policies for on-premises and hybrid analysis in the same user interface—the Email Security module—and configuration, reporting, and management are centralized.
Before you can use the email hybrid service to examine email for your organization, you must enter a valid subscription key that includes the Forcepoint Email Security Hybrid Module and configure a number of settings in the Email Security module and in your Domain Name System (DNS). This creates a connection between the on-premises and cloud portions of your email protection system. See Registering the Email Security Hybrid Module for details.
The Email Hybrid Service Log contains records of the email messages that are blocked by the email hybrid service before they reach the network. See Email Hybrid Service Log for information about the contents of this log. See Configuring the Email Hybrid Service Log for details about enabling and scheduling Email Hybrid Service Log updates.
