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)
