Web Security
The Best Web Security and Lowest Cost of Ownership for a Web 2.0 World
The advent of websites like Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn - known as
Web 2.0 sites - has changed how companies use the Internet. While these
sites are essentially social networking sites used by millions of individuals,
business organizations are seeing their benefits as marketing tools.
Employers are also recognising that one the one hand allowing access to these websites for employees can be a good thing, but that because the content is dynamic it can outstrip the capabilities of legacy security systems.
Reactive Internet security measures can't always keep up with constantly changing content. Malware can appear on trusted websites just as easily as on other sites, and the Web is now the primary vector for malware.
Websense has a deep understanding of the Web, how people use it, and the problems presented to businesses by internet usage in the workplace. Websense solutions provide complete coverage, visibility, and control over who can send what information, where, and how.
Websense Web security offers a variety of solutions:
- Websense Web Security Gateway
- Websense Web Security - Protects organizations from Web-based threats
- Websense Web Filter - The industry's leading Internet filtering software
- Websense Express - Effective, affordable Web filtering for SME's
- Websense Hosted Web Security - Centralized web malware protection and filtering
Underpinned by Websense ThreatSeeker Network, the Websense portfolio comprises a set of security products which deliver different solutions for differing requirements along with a rich set of reporting tools for identifying organizational security, productivity, legal liability and network bandwidth consumption risks.
