Deploy Forcepoint Email Security in Azure with Forcepoint Security Manager on-premises, version 8.5
This is the only deployment option available for version 8.5. These steps are specific to the version 8.5 solution in the Azure Marketplace.
1.
Create a site-to-site VPN.
See Microsoft documentation for more information.
2.
Log on to the Azure Marketplace and click Create a resource.
3.
In the Search bar, search for Forcepoint, then select Forcepoint Email Security V8.5.
4.
To create a new Forcepoint Email Security solution, click Create.
Alternatively, use this direct link to Forcepoint Email Security v8.5 and click Create.
The Basics tab displays.
5.
In the text field Virtual Machine name, enter a name for the Forcepoint Email Security virtual appliance (VA).
The name must be between 3 and 30 characters long and contain only numbers, letters, and hyphens.
6.
In the text fields Password and Confirm password, enter and confirm the password for connecting to the host.
The username is always "admin" on first login to Forcepoint Email Security. Additional accounts can be added later. The password must be a minimum of 12 characters and contain at least one number, one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, and one special character.
7.
From the pull-down menu Number of Virtual Appliances, select the number of VAs to use; between 1 and 7.
Forcepoint recommends using at least two VAs to ensure high availability. If only one VA is selected at this time, it is not possible to add additional VAs after deployment is complete. If two or more VAs are selected, additional VAs can be added at any point. See Add virtual machines to a Forcepoint Email Security in Azure deployment.
Load balancers are deployed by default when two or more VAs are used.
8.
From the pull-down menu Subscription, select your subscription.
9.
From Resource group, click Create new and enter a name for the new resource group.
A resource group is a container that holds related resources for an application. It will hold the Forcepoint Email Security VA. You must create a new resource group; using existing resource groups is not currently supported.
10.
From the pull-down menu Location, select the location for the VA.
11.
Click OK.
The settings are saved and the Virtual Machine Sizing tab displays.

The settings are saved and the Summary tab displays.

Final validation is performed and the Buy tab displays.
19.
On the Buy tab, review the Forcepoint Terms of Use, EULA, and Privacy Policy.
20.
To create the Forcepoint Email Security solution in the Azure cloud infrastructure, click Create.
Forcepoint Email Security is a bring-your-own license VA, so there is no additional Azure Marketplace charge.
