The new Web Security Gateway solves the challenges faced by the explosion of Web 2.0 technologies including user-generated content, mashups, interactive networking sites, and Web applications. Providing inline inspection of Web traffic, SSL traffic, Web 2.0 applications, and more than 100 network protocols, Websense Web Security Gateway classifies new content in real-time, determining whether the Web site and its content are safe.
The software categorizes actual content on Web, providing unparalleled granular approach that allows users to access Web sites. This breakthrough solution is achieved by implementing the Websense ThreatSeeker Network Identification and Classification technologies at the customers' gateway, protecting them from never before seen threats and Web content.
Lawrence Orans, research director for Gartner said, "To enable legitimate business use of these sites while still protecting against inbound and outbound malware, organizations are increasingly demanding Secure Web Gateway solutions that go beyond traditional URL filtering to provide real-time inspection of malicious Web content and granular Web application control."
More and more, organizations and their employees are adopting Web 2.0 technologies for legitimate business reasons. But introducing these new technologies without dynamic Web security protection can lead to data loss. Websense Web Security Gateway aims to solve this problem by allowing users to access and view their iGoogle page while protecting users from specific applications, if a risk or inappropriate for business use, within the page in real-time.
In March 2008, the company announced its next-generation research and classification system called the ThreatSeeker Network. In August 2007, Websense deployed new systems across the Internet called "HoneyJax" that emulate user behavior within Web 2.0 applications to uncover threats before they spread.
