Today’s Web and email threats are more invasive and
abundant than ever with attack volumes surging to new
heights. Threats are also becoming more complex, and
converging with over 85 percent of unwanted emails now
containing a URL link.
At the same time, preventing loss of confidential
information is one of the top challenges that many businesses

concern. Insufficient outbound protection can result
in legal liability, damage to a company’s reputation,
and violation of compliance regulations. Websense provides

How it Works
Websense Email Security provides unparalleled
protection by means of the ThreatSeeker
Network—the technology foundation for Websense
Web, data, and email security solutions.
The ThreatSeeker Network provides the intelligence
that underlies Essential Information Protection
by delivering real-time reputation analysis,
expanded behavioral analysis, and actual
data identification.
The Websense ThreatSeeker Network adaptive
security technology uses more than 50 million
real-time data collecting systems that continuously
monitor Internet content—including new and
dynamic content—for emerging threats. That
intelligence is fed into Websense Web security,
messaging security, and data loss prevention
solutions. As a result, Websense is able
to adapt to the rapidly changing Internet
at speeds not possible by traditional security
solutions and basic email filtering solutions. |
