It’s also an example of how fast e-communication can fly back and forth, in great numbers and lead to countless mistakes. Just think about how fast your information could end up in the wrong hands. Inadvertently sending an attached e-mail message that contains sensitive information to an unknown entity can be costly and even illegal by terms.
WebSense reduces the risk of accidental transfers by introducing DLP ( Data Loss Prevention ) in its line of TRITON security implementations. With DLP, you have a complete suite of functions that enable the administrator to monitor network traffic and enforce security policies that concern user information across the network. How WebSense DLP accomplishes the aforementioned tasks is through four network security modules: These modules are fully integrated into the DLP Application suite.
Data Monitoring covers traffic for any sort of data loss across the network and reports any errors regarding e-mail, FTP and Instant Messaging sessions in real time utilizing a net graph.
Data Protection enforces policy-based controls that allow the administrator to block and encrypt sensitive information that could leave the network while informing connected users of any outside threats.
End-Point Connectivity and Discovery also offer the administrator the ability to enforce data usage throughout the network on user desktops or laptops while updating confidential information and storing them in server repositories.
WebSense has a flexible deployment architecture that allows any potential business to implement DLP applications with the lowest cost of ownership in the industry including the bundling of Web 2.0 protection standards. DLP offers the usual malware protection, real-time scanning, anti-virus and updates. When it comes to DLP and Web Security, WebSense delivers and it deploys in a cost effective manner.
