SAN DIEGO, Jun 7, 2010 -- Websense, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN) today announced that Gartner, Inc. has positioned Websense as a leader in its recently released "Magic Quadrant for Content-Aware Data Loss Prevention."(i) The firm evaluated Websense® Data Security solutions, part of Websense TRITON ™ architecture, which unifies content-based security products. Vendors in the Magic Quadrant are selected based on their ability to execute and completeness of vision.

Websense data loss prevention (DLP) solutions, including Websense Data Security Suite are tightly integrated into Websense’s industry-leading Websense Web Security Gateway  and Websense Email Security  through the Websense TRITON architecture. The infrastructure integrates the real-time content analysis with both inbound and outbound data awareness, to protect organizations and their essential information from blended threats and targeted attacks while easing administration and lowering total cost of ownership.

"We believe that Websense’s inclusion in the Leaders Quadrant for Content-Aware Data Loss Prevention recognizes our continued ability to meet and surpass the data loss prevention needs for organizations today while also demonstrating the strength of our unified TRITON system,” said John McCormack, president, Websense. “Our strategy to unify the full enterprise functionality of the Data Security Suite into our Web and email channels – while simplifying management of these policies through the single management console of the TRITON architecture – offers the most easy to use and effective solution.”

Dynamic interactive Web 2.0 technologies have transformed the Web into a core business application platform.  Traditional customer relationship and payroll applications are now delivered interactively over the Web, while applications like social networking are used on a daily basis for recruitment, lead generation and other business processes.

Along with Web 2.0, however, comes new risk as dynamic and user-generated content renders traditional security technologies, such as antivirus and URL filtering, ineffective.  These technologies also do not provide control over sensitive outbound data posted on Web 2.0 sites.  Websense® Web Security Gateway leads the secure Web gateway market by providing the best protection against modern Web 2.0 threats with the lowest total cost of ownership.  Web Security Gateway secures the use of Web 2.0, with its real-time dynamic threat protection, and Web content categorization that classifies content within Web pages “on the fly,” helping to maintain productivity and compliance with acceptable use policy.

Based on the completeness of our vision and our ability to execute, Gartner positions Websense in the Leaders Quadrant of its Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateway. Register to access a complimentary copy of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateway and learn more.
