Originally developed to meet the exacting security requirements of the Israeli military, the patented PreciseID technology at the heart of Websense Data Security Suite takes a data-centric approach to the protection of essential information. PreciseID technology provides accurate identification and classification of content in more than 370 different file types and formats—from source code binaries to CAD drawings to Verilog code, and beyond—even if that content is cut and pasted from one format to another. PreciseID technology uses multiple detection methods to help organizations discover organizational compliance risk and automatically enforce content use policies, including fingerprinting technology, rules, lexicons, dictionaries, exact and partial matching, statistical analysis and natural language processing. Natural language processing enhances the granularity and accuracy of the PreciseID detection and classification capabilities, providing unparalleled protection for a broad range of content.

PreciseID works with the Websense ThreatSeeker Network to deliver deep content control, which enables Websense Data Security Suite to accurately secure confidential data, efficiently prevent information leaks, and ultimately protect who and what go where and how.
