Websense provides unprecedented visibility into the internal and external movement of information in the Web 2.0 world, with extensive management of who is authorized to access Web sites, content, or applications, as well as what data must be protected from leaks, where users and data can go online, and how data and online resources can be communicated and used.

Websense integrates Web security, email security, and data security to protect essential information and enable productive, safe use of the Internet platform. Websense Essential Information Protection defends cross-channel communications, safeguards Web 2.0 usage, and prevents data loss. Essential Information Protection uses the ThreatSeeker Network, an advanced infrastructure for early threat discovery across email and Web channels, real-time identification and blocking of high-risk Web sites, and data identification techniques and technologies. Websense Web, email, and data security solutions use security intelligence from the ThreatSeeker Network to provide the most up-to-date protection from data loss, unwanted content, and malicious threats.

The ThreatSeeker Network combines heuristics, binary analysis, reputation, image analysis, lexical analysis, pattern detection, statistical analysis, natural language processing, data fingerprinting, and actual research experts across disciplines. These tightly coupled techniques and capabilities identify and classify data and content within the enterprise and across the Internet to drive understanding of new threats as they develop.
