V-Series Overview

 

The Websense® V-Series™ appliance analyzes and filters Web traffic, email traffic, or both in real-time.

When Websense Web Security Gateway modules are enabled, the appliance:

Instantly categorizes new sites and dynamic content, proactively discovering security risks, and blocking malware.

Provides advanced analytics—including rules, signatures, heuristics, and application behaviors—to detect and block proxy avoidance, hacking sites, adult content, botnets, keyloggers, phishing attacks, spyware, and many other types of unsafe content.

Closes a common security gap: decrypting and scanning SSL traffic before it enters the network.

These real-time capabilities on the V-Series appliance integrate with industry-leading Websense Web Security software to provide Web filtering with over 90 default URL categories and more than 120 network and application protocols.

Software on the appliance can be linked with Websense Data Security solutions, to give data security software access to both Master Database URL categorization and user information collected by Websense Web filtering services.

Software on the appliance can also be synchronized with Websense hybrid Web filtering, an on-demand, cloud-based service, to apply your organization's policies to off-site users, or to branch offices, remote campuses, and so on.

When Websense Email Security Gateway is enabled, the appliance:

Scans and filters incoming email messages to block spam or virus content.

Provides a hybrid solution that allows the bulk of spam content to be filtered out before the messages reach your network.

Integrates with Websense Data Security solutions to help you monitor and restrict transmission of sensitive or inappropriate information via email.
