CP Secure
and Websense Team to Protect Organizations from Web-Based Security Threats
Combined Solution Provides
Comprehensive Web Security Against Spyware and Viruses
SAN DIEGO and CUPERTINO, CA, July 17, 2006—Websense,
Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN), a global leader in web security
and web filtering productivity software, and CP Secure, Inc., a leading innovator
of real-time anti-malware solutions for enterprise-class organizations,
announced today that the CP Secure™ Content Security Gateway™ (CSG)
appliance is now available integrated with Websense® Web Security
Suite™ software. This joint solution combines best-of-breed web security
capabilities from Websense and CP Secure to provide comprehensive web filtering
security, web anti-malware scanning, and policy controls for customers seeking
advanced, layered protection against web-based spyware, viruses, and other
malware.
Increasingly,
today’s malware programs attack through web traffic. While most
organizations have been focused on securing their e-mail traffic, malware
programs have been successfully attacking through the web vector since the 2001
Nimda worm. Spyware is a rapidly growing threat to organizations today because
it infiltrates networks and infects computers through the undefended web.
Computer users need only inadvertently surf to a malware-hosting website, click
on a link in an e-mail, or view web mail, and they can be victim to spyware and
other malicious software.
CP Secure's CSG
appliances enable pass-through web security capabilities for Websense Web
Security Suite at the internet gateway through an off-the-box integration. CP
Secure’s stream-based scanning technology scans high volumes of web and
SSL-encrypted web traffic in real-time for all known spyware and viruses,
without turning the internet gateway into a network bottleneck. Stream-based
scanning is the first and only scanning architecture designed from the ground
up to protect real-time internet traffic against today’s web-based
threats. The CSGs also provide e-mail security features such as e-mail
anti-malware scanning and anti-spam for comprehensive security against blended
internet threats.
“In today’s world, proactive
protection at the gateway from all forms of web and email-based malware is a
basic requirement,” said David Lu, president and CEO of CP Secure, Inc.
“With the CP Secure-Websense integrated solution, customers of all sizes
get the most comprehensive web security solution against spyware and viruses at
the internet gateway, without sacrificing network performance.”
The Websense Web
Security Suite, integrated with the CSG appliances, offers another layer of
protection through proactive, real-time blocking of malicious websites, spyware
backchannel communication, unwanted file attachments, botnet traffic, and other
web-based threats. The integration also provides customers the ability to
enforce granular user-based policies for SSL-encrypted traffic, extending
manageability to security risks from such traffic. Organizations can also extend their perimeter
web security to remote users and frequent travelers by utilizing Websense
Remote Filtering. This solution allows organizations to apply internet usage
policies to protect users from web-based security threats like phishing sites,
sites that contain spyware, and sites corrupted with malicious code, even when
they are outside traditional network boundaries.
“A layered approach to security is the
most effective means of filling the gaps within an organization’s network
and preventing exposure to today’s complex internet-based threats,”
said Steve Kelley, director of strategic alliances for Websense, Inc. “The joint solution between CP Secure and
Websense offers customers multi-layered, maximum protection from internet
attacks by combining Websense best-of-breed web filtering security with CP
Secure’s innovative real-time anti-malware scanning technology.”
