Choose an email security module.

Email security protects confidential data by:

Scrutinizing inbound email for malicious links, files, or other threats
Giving you tight control over data leaks in outbound email

Incoming email puts you at risk.
80% of incoming email is spam, often with links to malicious websites. The other 20% can carry infected files, invasive scripts, and other security risks.

Outbound email can leak confidential data.
Employees often send sensitive data to personal email accounts so they can work from home. Or they may send sensitive data by mistake. Either way puts your data at risk.

Websense offers 24/7 email protection for:

Inbound threats, including blended Web and email attacks
Outbound data loss prevention (DLP)

Financial records, customer lists, credit card numbers. Confidential data is your company’s lifeblood – and a major security target

With more than 100 protocols in 15 categories, the Websense Master Database is the industry's most accurate, current and comprehensive classification of protocols. Websense utilizes a combination of proprietary classification software and human inspection techniques to categorize and maintain protocol definitions to ensure real-time protection against today's blended threats. This enables organizations to set policies for protocols including: IM, P2P, proxy avoidance and streaming media.
