Websense has launched its TRITON RiskVision monitoring solution, which it says is preventing data loss and aiding multi-layer sandboxing technology for customers seeking to stay ahead of advanced threats.

It is billed as the only solution on the market that goes beyond simple malware identification with heuristics, behavioural analysis and sandboxing. Organisations with RiskVision can uniquely detect when criminals try to conceal data theft through proprietary and custom-encrypted data.

"Websense TRITON RiskVision boosts the calibre of threat monitoring technology," said Charles Kolodgy, research VP for IDC. "Uniquely positioned within the market, it combines Websense’s advanced threat protection intelligence with data loss detection and sandboxing. The demand for specialised threat analysis and protection will increase as more companies determine they require additional detection capabilities."

Global organisations are constantly battling with advanced persistent threats and targeted attacks focused on extracting intellectual property. TRITON RiskVision combines real-time APT defences, global security intelligence, file sandboxing and industry-leading data loss/data theft detection into a single appliance as well as automated email alerts to administrators for immediate access and action.

"Today’s advanced threats are often invisible to traditional web security solutions and simple threat monitoring," said Russ Dietz, Websense CTO. "Organisations need rapid intelligence to outmanoeuvre cybercriminals. TRITON RiskVision outperforms other technologies by providing immediate visibility into the cyber threat landscape and actionable data to facilitate swift network security reinforcement."

Websense TRITON RiskVision detects advanced threats, data theft/loss attempts and conducts behavioral forensic analysis — all of which help IT departments quickly counter cybercriminal activities. TRITON RiskVision is part of the overall Websense TRITON product portfolio, which provides intelligently integrated web, email and data protection.
