Web 2.0 technologies have created exciting new opportunities for communication and collaboration. By networking online, using blogs and message boards for research, connecting with colleagues through instant messaging (IM), and exchanging information over a variety of peer-to-peer and file-sharing sites, enterprising employees are finding new ways to excel. Web 2.0 technologies allow companies to offer new services and support to customers, increase efficiency, and be more competitive.
But these same Web 2.0 technologies have created a Web security nightmare for IT security teams. The challenge lies in allowing access to these technologies safely without compromising the security of corporate assets including corporate hardware, network, or proprietary and confidential information.
It is simply not an option to block employees from accessing Web 2.0 technologies and Web sites. Not only would that be unproductive, but it would be unacceptable to today's Web-savvy employee. And since so much business information is now exchanged online, the Web is an attractive attack vector for professional criminals. Many of these Web 2.0 sites are dynamic, with., content created by site users rather than site owners or professional webmasters. While this has created an unprecedented collaborative environment, it also means that Web site reputation is no longer a reliable indicator of Web site safety. A Web site that is safe today can be compromised by malicious code tomorrow. Even with the best policing, rogue content, malicious code, and criminal exploits can pop up anywhere online these days, from reputable Web sites to purpose-built hacking sites.
To secure the Web 2.0 world, business needs intelligent Web security solutions that offer real-time intelligence coupled with powerful, flexible policies. Today's Web security must allow visibility and control over which Web sites and Web technologies may be used safely and must help manage who may use these resources while enhancing productivity.

Websense Web Security has set the standard for comprehensive protection from Web-based threats by finding threats at their source and then blocking access in real-time.
With the Websense ThreatSeeker Network, Websense continuously scans the Internet—more than 600 million Web sites every week—to find new malware before it strikes. By finding a threat at the source, Websense can block it everywhere—from email to Web mail, from static URLs to dynamic Web 2.0 sites. Then Websense Web Security provides multi-layered defense to thwart botnet attacks, block phishing messages and access to infected URLs, and botnet "phone home" communication.
Now with Websense Web Security version 7, the world's best Web security just got better. Websense enhances the best-in-class Web security solutions to include:
These enhancements make Websense Web Security even easier to use, with better reporting, more insight into user activity and trends, and more flexibility.
The Websense ThreatSeeker Network uses more than 50 million real-time data collecting systems to analyze one billion pieces of content daily:
Websense Web Security Gateway allows organizations to secure Web traffic effectively while still enabling the latest Web-based tools and applications. Through a multi-vector traffic-scanning engine, the Websense Web Security Gateway analyzes Web traffic in real-time—instantly categorizing new sites and dynamic content and proactively discovering security risks and blocking dangerous malware.
Along with the powerful Websense ThreatSeeker Network, the Websense Web Security Gateway provides advanced analytics, including rules, signatures, heuristics, and application behaviors, to detect and block proxy avoidance, hacking sites, adult content, botnets, key-loggers, phishing attacks, spyware, and many other types of unsafe content. Websense Web Security Gateway also closes a common security gap: decrypting and analyzing SSL-encrypted content before it enters your network.
These real-time capabilities integrate with the industry-leading Websense Web Security platform providing Web filtering with over 90 categories, Web reputation, control over 120 network and application protocols, IM attachment management, and more.
Websense Web Security Gateway includes an easy-to-use management dashboard that gives administrators a single interface to access system details, statistics, policy management, logging, and reports, saving time and effort while reducing errors that can lead to security breaches.
