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.
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.
