Websense Web Security

Web Security Products

In the past, most Web content was static and predictable. But today’s reality is that Web content—even from so-called “trusted” sites—is constantly changing with end-users encouraged to post, edit or manipulate content. The most popular and heavily-trafficked sites that make the most use of dynamic Web 2.0 content, are also the most vulnerable to attack. As new capabilities made possible by Web 2.0 enter the business mainstream, simply denying access and blocking the use of these technologies is no longer a viable option. To take advantage of the business opportunities of Web 2.0, organisations need to know that essential corporate information is being protected.

With Websense, IT professionals can provide access to the latest Web-based tools and applications while still keeping the enterprise safe from attack. With the unrivalled knowledge of the threat landscape, real-time analysis of dynamic content and comprehensive inbound and outbound security found in Websense Web security solutions, IT professionals can now say Yes to Web 2.0.

Websense Web Security Gateway

Websense Web Security Gateway analyses and secures Web traffic in real-time, enabling safe use of the latest Web 2.0 sites and tools.

The Web Security Gateway adds on-premise, proxy-based content analysis of Web and SSL traffic to the robust Websense Web Security and Websense Web Filter platform. This allows instant categorisation of new sites and dynamic content, while proactively discovering security risks and blocking dangerous malware.

Websense Web Security Gateway combines powerful security with unrivalled ease-of-use. An intuitive management dashboard provides immediate feedback on network security, threat detection, traffic loads and user activity. Combined Integrated policy management, reporting and delegated administration saves time and effort while reducing errors that can lead to security breaches.
