Evaluation Guide | Forcepoint Web Security Cloud

Once you have set up users and customized your policies to meet the needs of your organization, there is little ongoing maintenance or configuration required with Forcepoint Web Security Cloud. However, it is a good practice to periodically use the dashboard and run reports to review and report on the ongoing web security protection provided by the service.

Administrators can schedule non-graphical versions of account summary reports to be sent to an email address on a daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis.

Optional add-on modules

Additional Forcepoint Web Security Cloud modules are available to enhance and extend your web protection solution.

With the Forcepoint Advanced Malware Detection for Web module, suspicious files can be forwarded to a cloud-hosted sandbox for analysis. The sandbox activates the file, observes its behavior, and compiles a report. If the file is malicious, an alert is sent to specified administrators.

The Cloud App Control module integrates with Forcepoint CASB to provide granular control over the use of cloud-based applications (cloud apps) in your organization. You can nominate a set of cloud apps, sanctioned for use within your organization, to be protected.

Forcepoint Mobile Security offers the capability to secure mobile device use for end users in your organization. Its data-aware defenses protect against malware, phishing, malicious links and the theft of intellectual property.
