Use your web protection solution to develop and enforce policies to protect your network. Together, a series of web protection components (described in Web protection components) provide security for web-based transactions, as well as management, user identification, alerting, reporting, and troubleshooting capabilities.

Initially, your software uses its Default policy to monitor Internet use without blocking requests. (See The Default policy for more information.)

A single, browser-based tool—the Forcepoint Security Manager—provides a central, graphical interface to the general configuration, policy management, and reporting functions of all Forcepoint on-premises security solutions. See Working in the Forcepoint Security Manager for more information.

You can define levels of access to the Security Manager to allow specified administrators to manage one or more products. Within the Web module of the Security Manager, you can further refine access permissions to allow administrators to manage policies, perform reporting tasks, and more. See Delegated Administration and Reporting for more information.
