Administrator Help for Websense Email Security v7.2

Websense Email Security is an on-site, server-based application that provides connection management and content filtering for inbound and outbound email. The solution easily and flexibly allows you to implement an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for email by:

1.	Scanning the content, sender, destination, attachments and size of all email to and from the Internet.

2.	Applying rules that you have established to support your AUP.

Websense Email Security is composed of the following core components:

Dashboard – The Dashboard provides a real-time picture of Websense Email Security system status, including active components, connection status, filtering activity, and alert conditions.

Monitor – The Monitor shows the progress of email through Websense Email Security in real-time. It indicates server status and the number of messages in each queue. It also provides access to other component user interfaces.

Rules Administrator – The Rules Administrator is used to set up the rules that meet the needs of your AUP. Configuring rules requires careful planning initially, but is then easy to set up and apply.

If an email triggers a rule, Websense Email Security uses the actions specified in the rule to delay, discard, or isolate the email. Delayed or isolated messages are placed in dedicated queue folders. If an email does not trigger a rule, it is placed in a folder for delivery to its destination.

Message Administrator – The Message Administrator is used to review, manage and analyze email that has been placed in queue folders, and view logs of Websense Email Security activity.

Websense Email Security includes additional components that enhance the capabilities of the Websense Email Security core components. For complete information about Websense Email Security features and functions, click the Adobe .pdf icon above to view the Administrator Help.
