Websense Data Security Suite
Protecting customer and other confidential data from malicious and accidental leaks is one of the top business and IT security challenges facing organisations today. Compounding this problem, CIOs and CSOs must protect their data amid pressure from regulatory and corporate compliance requirements, customer and competitive pressures, and the rising cost and publicity of data leaks. WebsenseŽ Data Security Suite is the leading solution for preventing data loss.
Websense Data Security Suite is the only data loss prevention (DLP) solution that provides content, context, and destination awareness, allowing administrators to manage who can send what information, where, and how. Using agent-less discovery tools and patent pending PreciseIDTM fingerprinting technology, Websense Data Security Suite automatically discovers hosts inside the network-including servers and endpoints-and the data stored on them, and allows administrators to create and implement content enforcement policies. Websense Data Security Suite goes beyond simple keyword and pattern matching solutions; it provides Deep Content ControlTM to discover, monitor, and protect confidential information, including personally identifiable information (PII), regulatory data, and intellectual property (IP), regardless of the file type or format.
Discover
Websense Data Security Suite discovers data stored throughout the network: in data repositories, file shares, and whether on servers or endpoints. Armed with the knowledge of where data is, organisations can identify broken business processes, create efficient workflows, and establish policies to protect confidential data.
PreciseID, included with Websense Data Security Suite, is a third-generation data fingerprinting technology that goes far beyond simple keyword, pattern matching, and regular expression engines. PreciseID fingerprints both structured and unstructured data, regardless of file type or format. Websense Data Security Suite creates multiple fingerprints per file via a one-way mathematical representation, analysing the content within the document so that it can monitor and protect the data no matter how it has been manipulated. PreciseID provides the industry's lowest rate of false positives and false negatives by using multiple detection methods for in-depth data analysis, correlating relational data points as well as metadata. This gives organisations decision-ready information they can act on.
Websense Data Security Suite fingerprints data from most databases and analyses hundreds of megabytes each minute. Its sophisticated algorithms can distinguish if a Social Security number belongs to a customer or an employee, allowing organisations to implement data protection policies that are relevant to specific business processes. Websense Data Security Suite also covers a broad range of unstructured data, including financial data, software source code, business plans, and product designs. It categorises the content by its type, risk, and/or applicable state/federal regulation. These capabilities enable IT departments to establish enforceable security policies that are in line with business requirements.
Monitor
Websense Data Security Suite provides real-time monitoring of your data controls whether information resides on a server or an endpoint, is transferred to a USB or optical drive, or is sent by email, FTP, HTTP, or printed.
Websense Data Security Suite passively monitors most business communications-both external and internal-including a wide range of protocols such as email, network printing, FTP, HTTP and HTTPS, and Instant Messaging (IM). Administrators can identify what data is being used, where it is being transmitted, and by whom from a centralised management and reporting console.
Websense has the only data loss prevention solution that includes a robust data analysis engine that integrates with directory services and Web intelligence solutions to provide in-depth reporting of users, groups, and destinations. It includes intelligent protocol discovery to detect protocol communications regardless of port, and automatically categorises incidents by type, regulation, and severity to provide valuable insight into regulatory compliance and corporate governance incidents. Powerful forensics and distributed analysis technology allow sharing of remediation tasks across large, decentralised organisations for better efficiency, while core policy decisions are administered centrally.
Protect
Websense Data Security Suite can protect data while in use or in motion with pre-defined, automated policy-based enforcement controls. User and content-based policies can be defined to automatically block, encrypt, quarantine, notify, and remediate potential security breaches.
Websense Data Security Suite is the only solution with native enforcement for in-line protection of SMTP and HTTP traffic. It provides the tools to protect data in line with existing business processes. Policies can be set to enforce data security controls automatically. This means that Websense Data Security Suite can automatically request encryption from data users; require that information owners authorise the use of their data; or require the IT manager to review requests. Using Websense Deep Content Control technology, administrators achieve greater enforcement accuracy, spend less time evaluating false positives and negatives, and gain more granular policy management capabilities. They are able to administer controls by user, content, destination, and communication channel to enforce regulatory and corporate governance policies.
Websense has the only DLP solution that provides decision-ready destination awareness and control. Websense Data Security Suite integrates with Web intelligence solutions to set policies for the content destination. For example, an administrator can block all communication of confidential information to
a spyware site, chat board, and/or Web mail site with a single click of a pre-defined category, but still allow users to access the same site for legitimate purposes. The administrator can also create custom black lists, white lists, and designate destination policies by specific users and/or information. Websense Data Security Suite gives organisations a proactive data protection solution with easy-to-use, flexible configuration options that align data security needs with relevant business requirements.
Endpoint Security
Websense Data Endpoint provides data loss prevention at the endpoint, with the ability to discover, monitor, and protect confidential data whether the user is on or off the network. It includes fingerprinting and over 600 policy templates for accurate data identification, and can prevent the loss of data through such channels as USB devices, local printing, IM, and for such actions as copy and paste, print screen, and more.
- Comprehensive data loss prevention at the endpoint, on or off the network
- Visibility and control of data at the endpoint
- Compliance and governance auditing and policy controls
- Measure and mitigate the risk of data loss
