WEBSENSE CLIENT POLICY MANAGER
Websense Client Policy Manager (CPM) provides a comprehensive endpoint security solution for desktops, laptops, and servers that proactively protects organizations against known and unknown endpoint security threats. CPM prevents the installation and execution of unauthorized applications and enforces application use policies with its comprehensive database of categorized applications, which is updated daily. CPM is an easy-to-implement, low risk, and highly effective alternative to behavior-based Host Intrusion Prevention Systems (HIPS). The comprehensive coverage of both “whitelist” (good) and “blacklist” (bad) applications allows for granular, dynamic, and highly flexible application policies. This provides a critical layer of application awareness that complements desktop antivirus and personal firewalls while stopping today's fast-moving and blended security threats.
Websense Client Policy Manager benefits:
- Addresses weaknesses in existing antivirus, anti-spyware, personal firewall, and patch management processes to render today’s attacks harmless.
- Provides application awareness and usage policy enforcement on the endpoint for blocking malicious software while ensuring compliance and productivity.
- Prevents malicious applications from changing registry settings and tracks suspicious registry activities.
- Protects remote and mobile users operating outside of the network or without standard security updates or patches.
- Includes protection from the threats and compliance risks around web access and URL content for remote and mobile users.
- Works with Network Access Control (NAC) solutions to enforce policy on devices trying to enter the network, denying access to non-compliant endpoints.
- Via integrations, enables network-level protection from inbound threats and creates dynamic and application-aware firewalling.
- Provides multiple levels of control to prevent the launch or mitigate the propagation of security attacks.
