Websense

Why Websense

Content is your business. Protecting it is our business.

You create, consume, and share content in emails, presentations, blogs, tweets, budgets, blueprints, and websites.

That’s your business.

We identify, classify, and understand content in all its forms and wherever it travels so we can protect it from attack, theft, and misuse.

Websense is the best in the content protection business.
We work in a world of content.

We create content. In emails, presentations, blogs, tweets, and confidential budgets and blueprints.

We consume content. When we read all of those same things. And more.

We communicate and collaborate. On email, and increasingly over the Web (via webmail, cloud applications, social media, and more).

Content gathering, sharing, and collaborating are all converging on the Web. So we spend an amazing amount of time online, most — but not all of it — getting our jobs done.

The "coffice", and beyond

We work with content everywhere: at our offices, at our homes, at the airport, on the plane, at the coffee shop. Laptops are so 15 months ago as we move to smart phones and even smarter tablets.

The challenge

You need to keep the good content where it should be and the bad content away. You need to keep your users, your organization, and your content safe and productive. And because the world is connected, your security has to be connected, too.

How bad is it?
  • 79.9% of websites with malicious code are legitimate sites that have been compromised
  • 84.3% of email messages are spam
  • 52% of data-stealing attacks occur over the Web

It's what we know

Websense identifies, classifies, categorizes, and understands content:

  • The content is found everywhere: from websites, Web content, and email content to applications, application traffic, and data files
  • It resides and travels inside and outside of your organization: on the Web, over email, and inside your systems; from databases to endpoints.
We do that better than anybody else, so you can:
  • Stop bad content (from malware, exploits, and spam)
  • Block inappropriate content
  • Prevent the loss of private content (from regulated data and private data to source code and intellectual property)
  • Make sure that users can access the content — and only the content — that keeps them productive (from legitimate marketing on Facebook and cloud solutions like Salesforce.com to allowing personal browsing time while limiting bandwidth consumption and exposure to inappropriate content)

Some examples

  • We can prevent exposure to a zero-day exploit embedded in an iFrame on a top 10 website
  • We can prevent a malicious email based on the embedded Web link it contains
  • We can let your workers use social media sites like Facebook and LinkedIn for legitimate business uses while protecting them from malware that lies in wait for the unprotected

The benefits

With Websense, you can:
  • Protect your users, systems, and data
  • Keep your workers productive
  • Help ensure compliance

Best in class is not good enough

You need to keep the good content where it should be and the bad content away. You need to keep your users, your organization, and your content safe and productive. And because the world is connected, your security has to be connected, too.

Point solutions are pointless

Today’s threats hit you on multiple fronts. These blended attacks render point solutions useless. The only effective response is to integrate multiple defenses in a way that coordinates them all. This is where Websense has rewritten the rule book.

The parts of the sum

Most integration neuters overall effectiveness. Only Websense unifies the three elements of content security (Web, email, and DLP) for a solution that is more effective than standalone—and saves money, too.

ACE up our sleeve

Underlying and unifying our solutions is ACE: the Websense Advanced Classification Engine, available as one module or the full deal. That’s the holy grail of security architecture, and we got there first — years ahead of anyone else.

50 million (and counting)

An engine like ACE is only as good as the data it can collect. The Websense ThreatSeeker® Network collects over a billion pieces of real-time data from over 50 million sources around the world every day. Through a technology called adaptive feedback, and with the expertise of a global team of Websense Security Labs researchers, this gives Websense an unrivaled understanding of what’s happening on the Web.

You only do what?

Our competitors slap a console on top of standalone products and call it integrated. That may have worked in the nineties, but today it leaves you exposed and paying too much for your security. The Websense TRITON™ architecture integrates and unifies Web, email, and DLP in the truest sense of the terms.
  • Other vendors don’t own their own intellectual property, so they will never be able to integrate and unify your content solution in a way that maximizes effectiveness and minimizes cost.
  • Other vendors overcomplicate (or don’t even offer) DLP. If they talk about DLP as a long, complicated, expensive project, it means they don’t have a good solution.
  • Other vendors don’t have truly unified underlying architectures. Keep reading to see why this is so vitally important.

The power of unification

TRITON is a true unified solution. Sure there’s a unified console, but we go way past that to unified intelligence. And unified analysis. And unified solutions whether deployed on appliances, in the cloud, or in a hybrid of both. This kind of unification costs less, is more effective, and is easier to manage.

The economies of consolidation

TRITON isn’t only unified, it’s also consolidated. That way there’s no bloated duplication of systems, so you save all kinds of money with a greatly reduced security footprint.

The elegance of modularity

TRITON is modular. The pieces fit together like Legos, so you can build the exact solution you need. Want to add full DLP next month? Enter the license key. Huge reduction in cost and complexity. And all managed from a single console.

The beauty of hybrid

Only TRITON has Websense TruHybrid™ deployment. With TruHybrid, on-premise and cloud components work together to improve security and lower costs. For example, with TruHybrid on email security you stop spam in the cloud before it hits your network. And with TruHybrid Web security you can use a powerful appliance in headquarters and cloud services in branch offices so everyone gets top-notch protection at affordable prices.

The value of Websense

TRITON is the first and only solution to deliver security in and for the social Web, to prevent modern malware and advanced threats, and to unify Web, email, and DLP into one solution. With TRITON, you get the best security for modern threats at the lowest cost of ownership.
