Florida-based home furnishing company keeps confidential information secure with Websense® Web and email security solutions

We chose Websense Email Security because we are able to set email policies around the data we want to safeguard like customer information, credit card numbers, and social security numbers.

Tim Lawton, Network Security Engineer, WS Badcock Corp.

As one of the largest privately owned home furniture retailers in the United States, WS Badcock Corporation is committed to staying ahead of the trends both in home furnishings and taking aggressive measures against today's emerging Internet security threats. To keep their essential information safe from email threats and protect their data from accidental or malicious leaks, WS Badcock uses Websense® Web and email security solutions across the organization.

"For retailers like us, protecting our network from attacks and safeguarding our data against a breach is critical," said Tim Lawton, network security engineer for WS Badcock. "We chose Websense Email Security because we are able to set email policies around the data we want to safeguard like customer information, credit card numbers, and social security numbers. The solution examines every layer of an email, including zipped file attachments and embedded images, for data deemed sensitive and if necessary, prevents it from going out."

In business for more than 100 years with more than 1,200 employees and 300 locations throughout the Southeast, longtime Websense Web security customer, WS Badcock was aware that today's attacks are focused on secretly stealing information — no longer the highly visible and public "bring down the network" attacks. After looking at several email security solutions, the company discovered that most products lack content protection to prevent outbound data leaks. They selected Websense Email Security because of its ability not only to stop spam and viruses but also to prevent confidential information from leaving the organization through email.

"Stopping data loss through email is a vital component of a data-centric security strategy," said Leo Cole, vice president of marketing, Websense. "We're committed to helping our customers like WS Badcock protect what matters most: their employees and their essential information."

Websense Email Security software provides comprehensive content filtering for continuous protection from inbound and outbound email threats including spam, viruses, blended threats, data loss, and regulatory violations. All Websense solutions including Websense Email Security are powered by the Websense ThreatSeeker® Network, which is designed to continuously monitor the Internet for changes and emerging threats. The resulting intelligence is immediately incorporated into the company's Web security, email security, and data loss prevention solutions. As a result, Websense is able to adapt to the rapidly changing Internet at speeds not possible by traditional security solutions.
