Introducing Web Security Gateway Anywhere

Introducing Web Security Gateway Anywhere

Overview

Websense® Web Security Gateway Anywhere™ is a Web security solution designed for distributed enterprises with one or more branch offices and multiple remote users.

Web Security Gateway Anywhere offers an alternative to pure service- or appliance-based solutions. Rather than choosing between an in-the-cloud or on-premises Web filtering solution for your entire enterprise, you can deploy a blended solution that encompasses the best of both worlds, and you can manage it from a single user interface—the TRITON™ Unified Security Center.

You can decide which method to use for which users. For example, you may use our robust on-premises Web filtering for your corporate office (business) or main campus (education), and filter your regional offices or satellite locations through our hybrid service.

Unlike alternate approaches, hybrid filtering gives you the flexibility to choose the platform or mix of platforms that best meets your operational requirements without incurring the cost of managing multiple systems

In addition, Web Security Gateway Anywhere protects you from data loss over the Web, providing security for outbound content as well. You identify sensitive data and define whether you want to audit or block attempts to post it to HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, or FTP-over-HTTP channels.

And finally, Web Security Gateway Anywhere provides flexible solutions for users who travel or work from a location outside of your network, such as a home office. You can install a Web filtering client on remote users' machines, or you can monitor remote activity using our hybrid Web filtering service.

Web Security Gateway Anywhere includes Websense Web Security and Websense Content Gateway as well as hybrid Web and DLP features.

Because it includes the real-time analytics of the Websense Content Gateway, you can can protect your users from Web 2.0 threats no matter where they reside.

Web Security Gateway Anywhere is available on the V-Series appliance or as software. The appliance configuration reduces your network footprint and improves latency. Appliance setup is described in Chapter 2: Setting Up the V-Series Appliance. Software installation is described in Chapter 3: Installing Software.

For even more robust enterprise security, consider adding Websense Email Security or data loss prevention over additional channels, such as email, endpoint applications, instant messaging, and printers.
