Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is ‘email security software’ beyond what Microsoft 365/Google already give me?

Email security software are platforms that remove malicious/unwanted email (phishing, BEC, malware, spam) and add controls like DMARC, investigation and remediation. Forcepoint augments native controls with behavioral detection, sandboxing and spoofing protection to stop phishing/malware and can work alongside or replace existing tools.

How does Forcepoint handle phishing, BEC, and zero-day malware specifically?

Forcepoint combines behavioral detection, URL and attachment sandboxing, and spoofing protection to identify and block advanced threats (including zero-day).

Does Forcepoint cover DLP and email encryption approvals?

Yes. Forcepoint’s email security is part of a unified data security platform. You can enforce granular policies on content, attachments, and recipients; apply consistent policies across email, web, cloud apps and endpoints; and use Exchange-native quarantine, encryption and manager-approval workflows. Forcepoint also offers dedicated Email DLP (cloud-hosted, 99.99% uptime) with a large classifier library and approval/encryption workflows.

How does Forcepoint support compliance with India's email security regulations?

Forcepoint’s email security solutions help Indian organisations comply with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Its features, such as SPF, DKIM, DMARC enforcement and TLS encryption, reduce exposure to unauthorised access and data leaks. Real-time threat detection and incident reporting assist compliance with CERT-In guidelines, which mandate breach reporting within six hours. This makes Forcepoint’s email security software highly relevant for financial institutions, IT services and government contractors.

How does Forcepoint’s email security software support India’s hybrid and outsourced business models?

India’s economy is powered by remote work, BPOs and hybrid teams that span regions and time zones. Forcepoint’s flexible deployment options — cloud, hybrid or on-premises — are ideal for these distributed models. Its AI-powered phishing protection solution blocks sophisticated threats aimed at users in outsourced support, tech and financial roles. With centralised dashboards and policy control, Forcepoint helps IT leaders in India monitor, secure and enforce consistent email protection across diverse networks.

What does admin/user impact look like—alerts, reports, tuning, and ongoing care?

Admins get real-time notifications and detailed reporting; reports can be scheduled and emailed on a cadence. 

Do you support TLS and transport security controls we can enforce per connection?

Yes. Forcepoint Email Security can enforce TLS with configurable security levels (e.g., Verify + CN) and encryption strength (128/256 bit), with guidance on testing/validating outbound TLS. If policy requires TLS and it’s unavailable, messages are rejected rather than sent in the clear.
