Protecting against data loss
With Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere, not only can you protect sensitive data from leakage over the Web, but you can also monitor removable media devices, printers, instant messages, copy/paste operations, or email for the such data. To protect against data loss over other channels, in addition to the Web, you can purchase Websense Data Protect, Data Monitor, Data Discover, Data Endpoint, or the full Data Security Suite as add-ons to your web security software.
Websense web and data security solutions interoperate in fundamental ways, giving the data security software access to user information (collected by User Service) and URL categorization information (from the Master Database).
By combining web and data security, you can create data loss prevention (DLP) policies that base rules on URL categories. For example, you can define a rule that credit card numbers cannot be posted to known fraud sites. You can also define rules based on users and computers rather than IP addresses. For example, Jane Doe cannot post financial information to FTP sites.
For an end-to-end description of setting up data loss protection over the Web, see the Deployment and Installation Center. This covers installation, deployment, and configuration of the various components, including Websense Content Gateway.
For instructions on creating data security policies, see the Data Security Help.
