Features
Zero-Touch Deployment
Save time and money by deploying Forcepoint NGFW to remote offices and branch locations without an on-site technician. Devices can automatically download their initial configuration from Forcepoint’s Installation Cloud, eliminating the need for manual set up.
Smart Policies, 1-Click Updates
Forcepoint’s Smart Policies express your business processes in familiar terms such as: users, applications, locations and more. Easy grouping replaces hardcoded values, enabling policies to be dynamically reused throughout your network.

Faster Incident Response
Forcepoint SMC makes it easy to visualize and analyze what’s happening throughout your network. Network admins can interactively drill into the corresponding data to rapidly investigate patterns and anomalies and turn insights into immediate actions.

Forcepoint NGFW comes with the ability to provide proxybased protection with full inspection of traffic for missioncritical applications that communicate over encrypted HTTPS connections. This technology originates from our Sidewinder firewalls that are depended upon in many of the most sensitive networks on the planet. It extends our unique proxy capabilities even further, giving admins the ability to control HTTPS traffic, allowing or blocking particular URLs or types of HTTPS requests.
Endpoint Whitelisting and Blacklisting
Application Control Endpoint Context Agent provides whitelisting and blacklisting of client applications running on hosts and end user devices.

This provides more granular controls that can be customized to the business needs and security posture of the organization.
