Websense, a provider of unified web, data and email security offerings, has released Web Security Gateway Anywhere, a web gateway that includes data loss prevention technology embedded to prevent data loss through the web.
The new gateway, part of the TRITON system, offers coverage for applications and content types including rich internet applications, more than 7,500 Facebook apps, security-as-a-service applications, phone home and outbound malware, proxy avoidance and other, the company said.
According to Websense, TruWeb DLP offers full DLP capabilities for web channels, including SSL, without compromising functionality, ease of use or expandability to other channels such as email, USB and discovery. It includes full reporting, incident management and end-user education to protect from data breaches or loss over the web.
The new web gateway combines the power of on-premise deployment with the flexibility of a full SaaS with TruHybrid deployment. The TruHybrid functionality allows organisations to deploy Websense both on-premise and in the cloud at different points in the enterprise and manage security, reporting and policies centrally from the new Websense TRITON console, the company said.
In addition to the new Web Security Gateway Anywhere TruHybrid, the company is expanding its V-Series appliances with the addition of the new V5000 appliance for branch office and medium business deployments where on-premise offering deployment is required.
The company claims that the V5000 provides another option for customers to take advantage of the Advanced Categorisation Engine and the TRITON architecture to reduce complexity and IT footprint and provide small to medium sized businesses the same flexible deployment, security and flexible deployment models inherent within Websense offerings.
Gene Hodges, chief executive officer of Websense, said: Websense Security Gateway Anywhere delivers modern security to fight today’s threats at the lowest total cost of ownership. By enabling our industry-leading web security and Web DLP to be deployed both on-premise and as SaaS from one single management console, we’re making it easier for our customers to leverage the web-based tools that they need for their business, while protecting their essential information.
