Websense Unveils the First Unified Content Security Solution to Protect Data

In an age of borderless organizations, social media, cloud applications, WikiLeaks, tablets and smartphones — modern, blended security threats from Aurora to Zeus are slipping past standard security products unchecked. With no network perimeter or standard endpoint to secure, only Websense can secure the content itself by identifying, classifying and understanding content in all of its forms and wherever it travels so that it can be protected from attack, theft and misuse. Through this innovative approach, the Websense TRITON solution is unique in its ability to remove threats and risks while enabling organizations to take advantage of rich internet applications, SaaS, social media and mobility.

The Websense TRITON solution stands in marked contrast to traditional firewall UTMs, which do not scale to solve today's security threats, and other legacy controls like antivirus and URL filters that look only at the file and website. The TRITON solution is the first, and only, content UTM delivering uncompromising security in a consolidated appliance solution. And with the innovation delivered in this release, Websense TRITON marks the beginning of the era of the content-secure enterprise.

The new flagship offering, Websense TRITON Security Gateway Anywhere, combines Websense Web and Email Security Gateway technology, including hybrid deployment and data loss prevention (DLP), into the unified content security gateway. The TRITON gateway consolidates on-premises email and Web security on a single Websense V-Series appliance, complemented by cloud-based SaaS components, for ultimate efficiency and effectiveness, and DLP to prevent the loss of confidential information and aid in compliance.

The TRITON architecture is a modular system, so customers can easily and efficiently expand coverage and services as their needs grow. Included in this release, for example, and ideal for existing Websense Web Filter customers, is support for Websense Web Security on the V-Series appliance. This provides Web Filter customers with enhanced security, consolidation and expandability to other TRITON services. Modular design like this helps organizations build and adapt their TRITON solution, and delivers a platform for the future, supporting soon-to-be announced Websense Mobile DLP and Cloud DLP services.

The innovative, first of its kind TRITON gateway unites the next generation of email security into the TRITON solution. Based on more than 10 years of proven email security expertise, this revolutionary new email security incorporates enterprise-class DLP, advanced encryption and archiving for email. Unlike “lite” DLP offered by other companies, Websense TruEmail DLP uses Websense market-leading DLP technology to accurately identify confidential data, virtually eliminating false positives and negatives and delivering full workflow and reporting. It also benefits from TruHybrid deployment capabilities so that spam is filtered in the cloud before it hits customer's networks and confidential data can be secured on premises before it leaves the network.
