Websense, a provider of unified Web security, email security and data loss prevention (DLP) offerings, has launched Websense TRITON, a security firewall to protect data and organisation from email, social web in cloud and across mobile network.

The new security firewall can secure the content itself by identifying, classifying and understanding content in all forms and whenever it travels so that it can be protected from attack, theft and misuse.

The company claims the new Websense TRITON has the ability to remove threats and risks while enabling organisations to take advantage of Internet applications, SaaS, social media and mobility.

The Websense TRITON Security Gateway Anywhere combines Websense Web and email Security Gateway technology, including hybrid deployment and data loss prevention (DLP), into unified content security gateway.

The TRITON gateway consolidates on-premises email and Web security on a single Websense V-Series appliance, complemented by cloud-based SaaS components and DLP to prevent the loss of confidential information and aid in compliance.

The TRITON architecture is a modular system, where users can expand coverage and services as their needs grow. The Websense Web Filter users can also get support for Websense Web Security on the V-Series appliance. This provides Web Filter customers with security, consolidation and expandability to other TRITON services.

The new design enables organisations to build and adapt TRITON offering, and delivers a platform for the future, supporting soon-to-be announced Websense Mobile DLP and Cloud DLP services. The new product unites the email security into the TRITON solution.

Websense TruEmail DLP uses Websense DLP technology to identify confidential data, virtually eliminating false positives and negatives and delivering workflow and reporting.

It also benefits from TruHybrid deployment capabilities so that spam is filtered in the cloud before it reaches users networks and confidential data can be secured on premises before it leaves the network.

Websense president John McCormack said websense made a four-year investment to build a platform that truly unifies and consolidates Web security, email security and DLP in a way that is greater than the sum of its parts AND reduces costs.

The TRITON architecture unifies and consolidates security eliminates bloated duplication of systems, saving customers capex and opex, the company said.
