Websense Web Security
Websense Web Security (formerly Websense Web Security Suite) protects against spyware, malicious mobile code, phishing attacks, bots, and other threats. Unlike many solutions, it also blocks spyware and keylogger backchannel communications from reaching host servers. Websense Web Security includes Websense Web Protection Services, to provide phishing protection to help guard Web sites, brands, and Web servers.

The security focus has changed from just controlling access to sites to limiting access to things like MP3 downloads, and IM access.

The web-based threats facing organisations today are growing in number, complexity, and cost to organisations. Security products such as antivirus and firewalls play a significant role in combating these security threats; however, they have inherent time and technology gaps that leave organisations vulnerable. Websense Web Security complements existing security products to create a comprehensive security solution that protects your organisation from web-based threats - both internal and external to your network.
Websense Web Security provides an integrated web security solution that blocks spyware, malicious mobile code (MMC), and other web-based threats, as well as spyware and keylogging transmissions back to their host sites. It also protects employees from phishing and controls the sending and receiving of Instant Messaging (IM) clients. Websense Web Security provides real-time security updates for immediate protection from new security threats and includes robust reporting and analysis tools that provide organisations with complete information on user access to fraudulent sites or vulnerability to malicious code.
