Today, Websense CEO Gene Hodges spoke with FOX Business regarding Intel’s acquisition of McAfee and what this alliance means for the Internet security industry. Gene also discussed the importance of cloud-based security versus security on a chip. In order to combat today’s threats, whether on mobile devices or in the enterprise, it will require a real-time cloud-based infrastructure. It is big and complex and isn’t going to fit on a chip. Websense has been building and implementing this Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) infrastructure for some time.

In addition, while the trend among the large security vendors has been to diversify AWAY from enterprise security, Websense has done just the opposite. Websense is laser-focused on the content-secure mid- sized and large enterprise. This is security for the social Web, preventing malware and inappropriate content from coming in – whether over Web, email, or other channels—and preventing confidential content from getting out to unauthorized destinations. 

And, while other vendors have focused on point solutions, Websense offers the TRITON architecture, unified content security, which unites Web, email, and data security, combined with flexible delivery mechanisms on appliances, as software, SaaS or a hybrid combination. This is the model that the mid-market and large enterprises have been asking for and that other security companies are still years away from being able to offer.

We encourage you to read more about our cloud-based SaaS solutions, V-Series appliances, software or our ground-breaking TruHybrid mix of on-premise and cloud delivery managed through a single console.

 The Wall Street Journal’s Sarah Needleman recently detailed that more small businesses are monitoring employee computer use to thwart cyberslacking and ensure proper security. As Web 2.0 sites (like Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) continue to be vital business tools for research and networking – many organizations are struggling to find an ideal balance. While these sites are crucial, they can expose a business to serious malicious content and can be a HUGE drain on productivity.

Sarah’s article details Websense’s commitment to helping organizations ensure Internet use is safe, efficient and productive, giving each organization the right and flexibility to allow employees a safe level of access. 

With Websense Inc.'s software, business owners can control what time of day employees visit certain websites, such as limiting access to Facebook or Gmail to a designated lunch hour. Owners can also prevent workers from sending or receiving information from specific online destinations, and block offensive and malicious content—such as pornographic images, foul language and links to harmful websites—from appearing on workers' desktops.
