With the Websense real-time security alerts so regularly updated, it has become easy for us to ensure that we are, too.
Surajit Sarkhel, Associate Leader of Information Security, MphasiS
MphasiS is a global leader in application, remote infrastructure, business process outsourcing, and KPO services. The organisation delivers business improvements in performance for its clients through a combination of technical proficiency, domain, and process knowledge.
Headquartered in Bangalore, India, the organisation has over 33,000 employees based across 29 offices in nine countries and is recognised for its expertise across the banking, financial services, insurance, and technology industries.
The Problem
With 6,000 users accessing the Internet on a daily basis, MphasiS recognized that it needed to increase the protection of its network from malicious threats and ensure that Web access was secure and productive.
The organisation needed to be confident that it was complying with its legal, regulatory, and contractual agreements. “We have SLA’s with our clients and in order to deliver on these, we needed to keep our Internet access safe,” said Surajit Sarkhel, Associate Leader of Information Technology.
In addition, MphasiS recognised that, while a number of its employees needed access to the Web, it was important that the time spent online by employees was in line with its Acceptable Use Policy.
The Solution
MphasiS decided to implement Websense® Web Security to safeguard and manage Internet access across its offices in India.
Websense Web Security protects the organisation against malicious mobile code, spyware phishing attacks, bots, and other threats. Incorporating the intelligence of the Websense ThreatSeeker® Network, which scans the Internet and reviews one billion pieces of content daily to proactively search for threats, Websense Web Security blocks known and new threats within minutes of discovery.
The Websense ThreatSeeker Network adaptive security technology uses more than 50 million real-time data collecting systems that continuously monitor Internet content — including new and dynamic content — for emerging threats. The ThreatSeeker Network feeds this intelligence into its Web security, email security, and data loss prevention solutions. As a result, Websense is able to adapt to the rapidly changing threat landscape at speeds not possible by traditional security solutions and basic email filtering solutions.
For MphasiS the real-time security alerts have been extremely beneficial. The regular updates enable the company to stay abreast of the latest threats and ensure so they can be confident there will not be any negative impact on its network security.
“With the real-time security alerts so regularly updated, it has become easy for us to ensure that we are, too.” said Surajit Sarkhel, Associate Leader of Information Technology.
With the Websense solution, MphasiS also has the ability to manage and configure different Web policies depending on the user. Through the simple creation of access policies, the organisation is now able to prevent access to specified sites dependent on the user and their needs.
The Results
With Websense Web Security, MphasiS is confident that while it is protecting its own network, it is also operating within its compliance and contractual requirements.
The organisation is now also able to better manage the time which is being spent online by employees and can be certain that they are both safeguarded and automatically working within its Acceptable Usage Policy.
