WEBSENSE

WEB SECURITY SUITE

The internet has evolved into an invaluable resource on which organizations rely. However,
unmanaged access to the internet not only threatens employee productivity, but also exposes
your IT environments to malicious threats and increases your organization's legal liability.
Websense® has evolved along with the changing, complex web environment. Websense
offers protection for both employees and computing resources with premier web and desktop
security software solutions based on our superior database, Websense Security Labs™
expertise, and software technology.
Websense Web Security Suite™ provides a best-in-class internet security solution that protects
organizations from both internal and external web-based threats. Websense protects against spyware,
malicious mobile code (MMC), and phishing and pharming attacks; and unlike some other solutions,
Websense blocks spyware and keylogger backchannel communications from ever reaching their host
servers. In addition, only Websense offers the SiteWatcher™ and BrandWatcher™ services, which help
protect your website and brand.

 Proactive Protection from Internet Threats
• Blocks known threats before they reach the desktop – Websense Web Security Suite identifies security
threats—including spyware, malcode, phishing, pharming, and keylogging—and blocks access at the
gateway level.
• Quickly identifies new threats – Websense scans and classifies over 350 million websites per week for
malicious activity and adds over 450 new malicious websites and 250 new malicious applications to the
Websense Master Database each week.
• Decreases threat exposure time – Real-time security updates are available within minutes of the
discovery of a new high-risk threat with no administrative intervention required—unlike antivirus
solutions that may take days to deploy.

Websense, we have not had
any instances of viruses, and
we’ve not had any instances of

Their Pains:
• Remote users – Laptops were being infected
in the field and bringing malicious software
into the organization.
• Antivirus response – During the NETSKY
attack, the antivirus vendor took three
hours to update signature files, allowing
the infection to spread.
• Customer support – Downloads of unauthorized
software were proving incompatible with
business software, leading to Help Desk calls.
Why They Chose Websense:
• The database of categorized applications not offered
by other solutions.
• The ability to create their own rule sets and categories,
which enables the IT Department to build policies
quickly for the 'allowed' applications.
• Day-to-day ease of management.
• Elimination of Help Desk calls for problems on users'
laptops caused by unauthorized installations.
• Help Desk is able to be proactive, not reactive, in
dealing with unplanned, often expensive incidents.

• Stops resident spyware from doing damage – Websense Web Security Suite blocks backchannel
spyware communication.
• Manages IM and IM attachments – Websense Web Security Suite fills the security and compliance gap
inherent in instant messaging communications, which presents significant risks for intellectual property
theft and malicious attacks.
• Prevents dangerous protocol-based applications from introducing security problems – Websense
Dynamic Protocol Management™ offers the ability to extend policy control to the network level including
management of peer-to-peer (P2P), email, file transfer, and other protocols.
