About Websense Web Filter:
Websense Security Filtering adds a higher level of
protection from web-based threats by providing additional
security-related website categories. These additional
categories allow organizations to develop policies to
block access to sites associated with spyware, phishing,
keylogging, and malicious mobile code.
Available as an add-on module to Websense Enterprise;
included with the purchase of Websense Web Security Suite.
Parent category that contains the categories: Malicious
Websites, Spyware, Phishing and Other Frauds, Potentially
Unwanted Software, Bot Networks, and Keyloggers.
- Bot Networks - Sites that host the command-and-control
centers for networks of bots that have been infiltrated
into users’ computers. Excludes web crawlers.
- Keyloggers - Sites or pages that download
programs that run in the background recording all
keystrokes, and which may also send those keystrokes
(potentially including passwords or confidential
information) to an external party.
- Malicious Websites - Sites that contain
code that may intentionally modify end-user systems
without their consent and cause harm.
- Phishing and Other Frauds - Sites that
counterfeit legitimate business sites for the purpose
of eliciting financial or other private information
from users.
- Potentially Unwanted Software - Sites
that use technologies that alter the operation of
the user's hardware, software, or network in ways
that diminish control over the user experience,
privacy, or the collection and distribution of personal
information.
- Spyware - Sites or pages that download
software that, without the user's knowledge, generates
HTTP traffic (other than simple user identification
and validation).
