Making it safe to move about the web

It's wild on the web, but we've got you covered.

Websense keeps you safe on the web. You've got to work on the web, but it's dangerous out there. No worries: With Websense® Web Security Gateway, you can fearlessly post on Facebook, take advantage of web apps, and use the wonders of the web to build your business.



Websense exclusive:
Our ACE technology
classifies individual pages within social sites – instead of entire sites. Now you can give your employees the freedom to work on the social web without reducing productivity or putting your company at risk.

Here's what you need for the best web protection. Websense, as the industry leader in web security, knows exactly what will keep your company safe on the web. Here's what you need (and what you get with Websense):


  • Real-time security scanning defends against zero hour attacks that cleverly use web scripts as well as blended threats that go far beyond the scope of antivirus products
  • Real-time content classification examines individual content within sites, like inappropriate posts from complex, fast moving sites like Facebook so your employees can use the dynamic web without bringing security risks into your network
  • Enterprise-class data loss prevention (DLP) ensures policy compliance for sensitive data yet lets your employees safely send communications to web destinations such as web mail and social media
  • Hybrid deployment combines on-premise solutions (such as high-performance appliances) with in-the-cloud services to reduce complexity, boost employee productivity, and give you the lowest cost possible

Your business is unavoidably social.

  • Following competitors' tweets. Checking out LinkedIn updates. Posting company news on Facebook. These are legitimate uses of the social web at work. And, with intertwined work/life schedules, people need to check their personal home pages during the day.

But the social web can spin out of control.

  • Do you mind if an employee keeps a link to eBay open? What if a home page has an RSS feed from a gambling site? Or worse? Somehow, you need to enable the social web while protecting your workplace from inappropriate activities.


You need freedom within limits on the social web. Websense Advanced Classification Engine (ACE), gives you an industry-exclusive way to allow social web use at work:

  • When traditional security solutions encounter, say, a Facebook page, they classify it in the broad category of "social networking"
  • By contrast, ACE analyzes each page within a social site, allowing acceptable content through and keeping inappropriate content out

Stand-alone DLP requires multiple boxes that cost an arm and a leg and give you endless annoyances. TruWeb DLP™ offers you one solution that's embedded right into our web security products for enterprise-class protection.



Data is gold. Guard it. 50% of data thefts occur on the web. 39% of malicious web attacks include data-stealing code. Cyber thieves steal names, numbers, and other data then sell it at huge profits. Websense TruWeb DLP™ is the only enterprise-class data loss capability offered in a web security solution today.




Stand-alone "lite" DLP just doesn't do it. If you've tried security solutions with "DLP Lite" capabilities, you know they require constant tweaking to give workers enough freedom while still protecting the data. Plus, they inundate you with false positives that you spend days trying to track down.



You need enterprise-class DLP. Websense offers TruWeb DLP, enterprise-class DLP controls embedded right into our web security products. TruWeb DLP gives you:

  • Extremely high accuracy with fewer false positives
  • Thousands of predefined data classifiers
  • Hundreds of compliance policy templates
  • Natural language processing
  • Data fingerprinting
  • Workflow




Websense TRITON architecture lets you manage all security analytics and platforms from a single console. You reduce the number of appliances, consoles, and vendors, dramatically cutting your costs. And – you get the best security available anywhere.


Reduce costs. Improve security. Get TRITON. Websense offers the only solution available that consolidates web, email, and data security across both SaaS (Security as a Service) and on-premise:

  • Reduce branch or mobile user costs with SaaS
  • Handle the hefty requirements at headquarters with on-premise appliances
  • Use a single Websense V-Series™ appliance to house web, email, and data security



On-premise. In the cloud. One or both. Websense TruHybrid™ deployment gives you unified management of web security regardless of how you set it up. You get maximum flexibility to choose a mix that best fits your requirements. Websense has the only solution anywhere that:

  • Offers both SaaS and on-premise options
    AND
  • Single-console operation, no matter which setup you choose



Separate security solutions don't share. Legacy security products target one problem at a time. Working separately, they don't share information when a security risk arises. Today's blended web attacks have no trouble slipping between the cracks to access your data.


ACE puts it all together for a unified solution. Websense Advanced Classification Engine (ACE) combines the latest technologies into unified content security analysis. ACE detects the latest threats in real time, catching hundreds of viruses and other dangers that stroll right through separate solutions.


What do you do for redundancy? What's your plan to ensure security uptime? Shut down access for a few days? Or go ahead and work without web security? Maybe you have redundant appliances, a strategy that works but that few can afford to purchase or maintain.

You need a solution that's simple and low-cost. Websense Hybrid High Availability provides redundancy in the cloud. If your on-premise appliance goes down, traffic automatically routes to the cloud. You save IT resources and cut your overall costs.


Add Defensio for social security. If you're using a Websense web security product, also consider using Websense TRITON™ Defensio™ service. This will extend protection to your personal and corporate blogs, Facebook, and other social media pages. Defensio technology helps you:

  • Keep malicious content off your site
  • Filter out profanity
  • Prevent posting of links to objectionable websites, such as pornography
  • And more. Get more info on the Defensio service.


And much, much more.
