Introduction

Websense® Email Security Gateway Anywhere is the next generation of email security that provides maximum protection against spam and viruses, and more sophisticated modern threats.

Unlike other email security solutions that rely exclusively on antispam, antivirus, reputation analysis, and URL filtering, Email Security Gateway combines these features with world-class Web analytics to protect against blended attacks. This Web-based application even offers market-leading, enterprise-class Data Loss Prevention (DLP) technology to accurately detect confidential data loss that goes through email. And it's all tied together in the first unified management console for email, Web, and data security across on-premises and in-the-cloud platforms.

Email Security Gateway Anywhere is a variation of Email Security Gateway that also integrates with the Websense hybrid service, blending the benefits of on-premises and in-the-cloud security by filtering spam and viruses before they reach your organization.

In addition to Email Security Gateway, Websense has 2 other email security solutions: SurfControl RiskFilter and Websense Email Security.
