HOW THE WEBSENSE MASTER DATABASE WORKS

The Websense Master Database has the industry's most accurate classification of URLs, protocols, and applications. Websense uses a variety of proprietary classification software and human inspection techniques to maintain the Master Database. Learn more about the investigative process used in developing the Websense Master Database.

URLs - More Than 18 Million Websites in 90+ Categories

URL Categories give organizations the ability to design specific internet use policies to:

  • Maintain employee productivity.
  • Manage network bandwidth usage.
  • Lessen legal liability.
  • Prevent exposure to viruses, spyware, keyloggers, and other malware.

Websense Security Filtering provides an additional layer of protection against the network security issues associated with internet usage.

Protocols - More Than 80 Protocols in 15 Categories

Protocol Categories help organizations set policies for applications requiring network resources to communicate to:

  • Block spyware and keylogger backchannel communication.
  • Extend policy control and enforcement to the network level.
  • Manage peer-to-peer (P2P), email, file transfer, and other protocols.

Applications - More Than 1.7 Million Applications and Executables in 50+ Categories

Application Categories allow organizations to define flexible, scalable policies for application use at the desktop that:

  • Prohibit unauthorized applications from being installed or launched.
  • Minimize exposure to malicious applications, such as hacking tools or applications containing malicious mobile code.
  • Decrease the possibility of application conflicts and the IT resources required to fix them.
