Anyone here use Forcepoint Cross Domain, or something similar?

Our agency is looking to go with a cross domain solution in the next year or 2, and recently there has been talk of going with Forcepoint and their trusted thin client solution.

First question. How exactly does this work? From my understanding, say you have 5 different networks you administer, you can decide what networks that thin client has access to, and they can switch back and forth between networks, all over one wire. From the distribution console, is this basically similar to how a trunk port and pruning vlans is setup? You decide what networks go over the link to the thin client, so that they only have access to the networks they are authorized to be on? Or does it work in a different way?

Second question. We are a full Cisco network. From the access layer, how are the switches configured for the clients? Is it all just 802.1x on the access ports? Do the ports still need to be assigned a specific vlan?
