5 Release Notes for Forcepoint


Email Security in Microsoft Azure

Release Notes | Forcepoint Email Security in Azure | Version 8.5 | Updated: 16-May-2018

Forcepoint Email Security in Azure is an enterprise and DLP solution that prevents
malicious email threats from entering an organization’s network and protects sensitive
data from unauthorized email transmission.
Prior to this release, Forcepoint Email Security was solely an on-premises solution;
now, Forcepoint Email Security version 8.5 can be deployed in a Microsoft Azure
cloud environment.
Deploying Forcepoint Email Security in Azure requires a valid Forcepoint Email
Security license and the installation of Forcepoint Email Security v8.5 and/or
Forcepoint DLP Network v8.5.x.

New in version 8.5 in Azure

Network interface

The C interface is now used for all email traffic in Forcepoint Email Security in
Azure. Only Azure appliances can be installed in a deployment of Forcepoint Email
Security in Azure.

Command-line interface

Certain command-line interface (CLI) commands have been removed from the
appliance CLI for Forcepoint Email Security in Azure. These commands are noted in
the Forcepoint Appliances CLI Guide with the text “Not supported in Azure.”

IP address for Forcepoint Email Security Hybrid Module

If your Forcepoint Email Security in Azure deployment includes the Forcepoint Email
Security Hybrid Module, it is necessary to use a static public IP address. This is a best
practice because a dynamic public IP address will change when you reboot your
machine. See Email hybrid service configuration.

for this version for detailed information about supported applications and versions.
