The Websense ThreatSeeker Network, fueled by the world's
first Internet HoneyGrid, is the technological foundation for
the Websense security portfolio. The Websense TheatSeeker Network
feeds security intelligence to Websense Web, messaging, and
data security solutions to provide customers with the most up-to-date
protection from unwanted content and malicious threats.
Websense expanded its existing ThreatSeeker technology by
adding organically developed and acquired email security, hosted
security, and data loss prevention technologies the SurfControl
and Port Authority acquisitions, as well as adding an advanced
content and dedicated email research team to its world-class
Websense Security Labs team of researchers around the globe.
This combined security intelligence creates an adaptive feedback
network that uses more than 50 million real-time data collecting
systems to parse one billion pieces of content daily. These
advancements enable Websense to provide customers with improved
content classification, data identification and security filtering
to mitigate risks to an organization's environment. The Websense
Internet HoneyGrid melds both the honeypot and grid computing
concepts to monitor and classify all types of content including:
Web, messaging, data, network and business applications to help
ensure safe and productive use of the Internet and provide Essential
Information Protection for critical systems and sensitive data.
Today's attacks are increasingly focused on stealing an organization's
critical information. The ThreatSeeker Network demonstrates
the Websense commitment to investing in products, state-of-the
art technology, and security research to uncover adaptive threats
that pose risks to an organization's business. Unlike commodity
filtering players who rely on basic URL filters, outdated signature-based
antivirus systems, and costly intrusion prevention systems,
Websense offers an alternative approach that delivers real-time
reputation analysis and expanded behavioral analysis to provide
customers with the most accurate protection against malicious
threats.
