Web 2.0 has changed how companies use the Internet. Through sites like Facebook and LinkedIn, employers are creating content and, in moments, sharing it with thousands of others. Content on these sites is dynamic so it flies under the radar of legacy security systems. To enjoy Web 2.0 at work, business needs new ways of protecting essential information.
Reactive web filtering measures can’t keep up with constantly changing content. Malware can appear on trusted sites with good reputations just as easily as on other sites. And since more Web-based applications are becoming available, the Web is now the primary vector for malware.
A deep understanding of the Web and how people use it makes Websense uniquely qualified to offer
Essential Information Protection in the Web 2.0 world. Websense web security solutions provide complete coverage, visibility, and control over who can send what information, where, and how.
Websense Web security offers a variety of solutions:

Data loss prevention from Websense can help you discover, monitor, and protect your data. Websense can give you visibility into what data is confidential, where it is stored, who is using it and for what purpose, and can help secure all your essential information.
CIOs spend millions of dollars each year investing in business systems and processes to make information (often confidential) available to authorized employees and partners. And while these investments enable business to grow, they also pose significant risks to data security and, by association, regulatory compliance, corporate governance, and brand and reputation.
Consider the impact if your most confidential data was inadvertently leaked over email, erroneously posted to a public Web site, or left unsecured on a laptop or USB drive. If it were customer information, would it violate PCI or HIPAA regulations? If it were intellectual property that was lost, what would be the long-term financial impact to your profit margin? And if it were happening right now, how would you know?

The Websense ThreatSeeker Network, powered by the world’s first Internet HoneyGrid, is the technology foundation for Websense Web security, messaging security, and data security solutions. It provides the intelligence that underlies Essential Information Protection by delivering real-time reputation analysis and expanded behavioral analysis. This gives users the most up-to-date protection possible from unwanted content and malicious threats.
To create the ThreatSeeker Network, Websense augmented its ThreatSeeker technology with organically developed and acquired email security, hosted security, and data loss prevention technologies from SurfControl and Port Authority. Websense then added dedicated content and email security specialists to the Websense Security Labs team of researchers. The result is a network of technology and human intelligence that creates an adaptive feedback network that uses more than 50 million real-time data collecting systems to parse one billion pieces of content daily. This allows Websense to provide customers with the most advanced content classification, data identification, and security filtering available to mitigate risks to customer data and productivity.
Many of today’s most virulent security threats are to the essential data held within an organization. The Websense ThreatSeeker Network is a state-of-the art technology that combines cutting-edge security research and industry-leading security solutions to uncover adaptive threats that pose risks to an organization's business.
Unlike commodity filtering solutions that rely on basic URL filters, outdated signature-based antivirus systems, and costly intrusion-prevention systems, Websense offers a superior approach that delivers real-time reputation analysis and expanded behavioral analysis to provide customers with the most accurate protection available.
