The new Websense Hybrid Email Security solution offers organizations a layered hosted and on-premise messaging security system that provides inbound threat protection "in the cloud" with minimal administration and significant bandwidth savings. It also allows deep content inspection of outbound e-mails with the granular control of on-premise software.
The software provides inspection of e-mail messages and attachments, ensuring that outbound e-mail does not contain non-compliant content, while Websense Hosted Email Security blocks spam and viruses at the Internet level, preventing these threats from reaching the network, consuming bandwidth and storage space, and impacting business operations.
The new version of Websense Email Security (formerly known as SurfControl E-mail Filter) features a subset of compliance capabilities from Websense's data loss prevention technology. It also has more than 100 content and compliance dictionaries, augmented with additional compliance dictionaries from Websense Data Security Suite, and its industry-leading data loss prevention technology. The new compliance dictionaries and rule policies offer e-mail protection for both the healthcare and financial industries and include new policies addressing state data privacy laws and Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards.
Jay Wessel, vice president of technology of Boston Celtics said, "We chose Websense Email Security because of its phenomenal e-mail security protection and its granular policy enforcement capabilities that clearly outshine other solutions on the market. Websense provides essential protection to our organization."
Websense Security Labs has further integrated the threat intelligence gathered from Websense Hosted Security solutions - scanning more than 500 million e-mails per week for security threats - with Websense ThreatSeeker technology, which scans more than 600 million Web sites per week searching for malicious code. The joint technologies provide deep visibility into the evolving external threat environment and unique protection to Websense messaging customers before threats ever reach the corporate network and employee inboxes.
The messaging security portfolio is currently available from authorized channel partners. Websense Email Security version 6.1 is planned for availability in the beginning of the second quarter of 2008.
