Frequently Asked Questions
What is an email security software, and why does my organization need it if we already use Microsoft or Gmail?
Native email clients provide baseline protection but often miss advanced threats like spear-phishing, spoofing and zero-day malware. Forcepoint's email security software is an advanced layer that closes these critical gaps. With machine learning, behavioral analysis and robust filtering, Forcepoint provides email security solutions far beyond standard rule-based 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.
What are the deployment options?
You can deploy Forcepoint Email Security in cloud, hybrid, or fully on-prem configurations—choose what fits your risk and architecture. There’s native Microsoft Exchange integration, and the service provides automatic alerts and detailed reporting for visibility.
Will this integrate with our Microsoft 365 environment and existing processes?
Yes. Forcepoint integrates natively with Microsoft Exchange, supports familiar user/admin workflows (quarantine, encryption, manager approvals), and doesn’t require endpoint agents. That helps reduce change management while giving security teams more control.
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.
Can Forcepoint's email security solutions scale with my business and deployment model?
Yes. Forcepoint's email security solutions are built for flexibility and scale. Whether you're operating on-premises, in the cloud or a hybrid environment, the platform integrates seamlessly with your existing infrastructure. It also supports granular policy controls across business units, giving global organizations the agility to adapt protection based on regional needs or regulatory environments. This allows consistent, high-level protection even as your operational complexity increases.
How does Forcepoint detect phishing attempts that other email security software might miss?
Forcepoint uses behavioral analytics and AI-powered threat detection to go beyond static filters. Its phishing protection solution evaluates sender authenticity, embedded link behavior, attachment characteristics and intent to identify even well-crafted impersonation attempts. Unlike traditional tools, it doesn't just scan for known threats, but proactively identifies suspicious patterns in real-time.
What kind of visibility and control does Forcepoint offer security teams?
Forcepoint delivers enterprise-grade control and visibility through centralized dashboards, automated alerts and detailed forensic-level reporting. Teams can track threats by user, region or type, enabling fast incident response and policy adjustment. When paired with Forcepoint ONE and DLP, this solution helps unify broader data protection strategies. Security leaders can reduce dwell time, meet compliance mandates and demonstrate audit readiness.
How does Forcepoint help Philippine organizations comply with national email security regulations?
Forcepoint’s email security solutions align with the Philippines’ Data Privacy Act (DPA) of 2012, which mandates safeguarding personal data against unauthorized access or disclosure. Features such as SPF, DKIM, DMARC enforcement and TLS encryption assist organizations in meeting these requirements. Additionally, Forcepoint's real-time threat detection and reporting tools support adherence to the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
How does Forcepoint’s email security software support BPOs and outsourcing firms in the Philippines?
The Philippines is a global hub for BPOs and IT-enabled services, handling sensitive client data across finance, healthcare and e-commerce. Forcepoint’s email security software offers real-time threat prevention with an AI-driven phishing protection solution, ideal for high-volume communications. Flexible deployment meets varying infrastructure setups, and centralized dashboards allow IT teams to apply strict security policies across multiple sites.
