This section of the Websense Technical Library contains information and instructions for deploying Websense Email Security Gateway or Websense Email Security Gateway Anywhere based on a Websense V5000 G2 appliance. For a V10000-G2-based deployment see
Email Security Gateway (V10000 G2).
If your subscription includes Email Security Gateway Anywhere, you can enable the Websense hybrid email service. This is an in-the-cloud service that provides an extra layer of email scanning, stopping spam, virus, phishing, and other malware attacks before they reach the network and considerably reducing email bandwidth and storage requirements. You can also use the hybrid service to encrypt outbound email before delivery to its recipient.
The Websense V5000 G2 appliance provides the majority of Email Security Gateway functions. Incoming email flows from the hybrid email service (if enabled) to the Websense appliance and to your mail server.
A separate TRITON management server is required.
TRITON management server is the term used to refer to the machine on which
TRITON Unified Security Center is installed. This machine is used to manage your Websense deployment. It includes TRITON Infrastructure and any or all of the TRITON Unified Security Center modules (Web Security, Data Security, and Email Security). In the case of an Email Security Gateway deployment, the Data Security and Email Security modules are required. Email Security Log Server may also be installed on this machine (note that this component may be installed on another machine; it is not required to be located on the TRITON management server).
SQL Server must be obtained separately; it is not included as part of a Websense subscription. When installing Websense components, SQL Server must be installed and running. SQL Server Express (installed using the Websense installer) may be used in place of SQL Server. However, it is a best practice to use SQL Server Express only in non-production or evaluation environments.
The first time you access TRITON - Email Security, you are prompted for your subscription key. Then, you are asked if you want to use the First-Time Configuration Wizard. This wizard guides you through the process of entering essential configuration settings. It is strongly recommended you use this wizard. See the TRITON - Email Security Help for more information.
See the Getting Started section of the TRITON - Email Security Help for information on initial configuration. Be sure to complete the procedures for:
If your subscription includes Email Security Gateway Anywhere, configure the hybrid email service. See the "Registering for the hybrid service" topic in the TRITON - Email Security Help.
