Getting Started Guide | Forcepoint Web Security Cloud
Before deploying Forcepoint Web Security Cloud, you should inform your users what the service does and how it impacts them. This may be a legal requirement in some countries. Below is some sample text that you can use as a model for an initial communication. You can also customize the registration email templates and pre-logon welcome page, if you are going to use them.
Introduction to the Forcepoint Web Security Cloud service
Forcepoint Web Security Cloud is an advanced web protection service that we have deployed to protect Internet users from computer viruses and other web-based threats such as spyware. All of our Internet traffic is directed to data centers where these threats are filtered out and our Internet acceptable use policy is enforced.
Many websites contain viruses or inappropriate and potentially offensive content. Links to these sites may show up in search results, and the type of content may not be obvious until it is too late. Forcepoint Web Security Cloud allows us to block these sites.
Internet acceptable use policy
We have published an Internet acceptable use policy that outlines your responsibilities as an individual when using company resources to access the Internet. Forcepoint Web Security Cloud allows us to enforce this policy, report on web usage, and block inappropriate downloads. In the event that a website is blocked, you are presented with a page explaining why.
We recognize that different people need to access different types of websites to perform their jobs, so if sites that you are trying to access are being blocked, please email XXXX, include the website address and the reason why you need to access it. The full website address can be copied from your browser address bar.
Please click the link below to access our corporate Internet acceptable use policy.

To ensure that you are still protected when you are not working from the office, when you access the Internet, you are asked to log in. You must use the email address and password that you entered during Forcepoint Web Security Cloud registration before you can continue.
