Description

The Websense Data Security Endpoint is a comprehensive, secure, and easy-to-use endpoint data loss prevention solution. The Data Security Endpoint monitors real-time traffic and applies customized security policies over application and storage interfaces, as well as for data discovery.

The Data Security Endpoint allows security administrators to either block or monitor and log files that present a policy breach. The data endpoint creates forensic monitoring that allows administrators to create policies that don't restrict device usage, but allow full visibility of content traffic.

You can monitor user activity inside endpoint applications, such as the cut, copy, paste, print, and print screen operations. You can also monitor endpoint Web activities and Microsoft Outlook email, and know when users are copying data to external drives and endpoint devices.

Working with data endpoints entails configuring endpoint profiles via TRITON - Data Security. The configuration settings defined in TRITON - Data Security regulate the behavior of the endpoint agents. The endpoint agents analyze content within a user's working environment (PC, laptop and variants) and block or monitor policy breaches as defined by the endpoint profiles.
