HOW THE WEBSENSE MASTER DATABASE WORKS
The Websense Master Database has the industry's most accurate classification of URLs, protocols, and applications. Websense uses a variety of proprietary classification software and human inspection techniques to maintain the Master Database. Learn more about the investigative process used in developing the Websense Master Database.
URLs - More Than 20 Million Websites in 90+ Categories
URL Categories give organizations the ability to design specific internet use policies to:
- Maintain employee productivity.
- Manage network bandwidth usage.
- Lessen legal liability.
- Prevent exposure to viruses, spyware, keyloggers, and other malware.
Websense Security Filtering provides an additional layer of protection against the network security issues associated with internet usage.
Protocols - More Than 80 Protocols in 15 Categories
Protocol Categories help organizations set policies for applications requiring network resources to communicate to:
- Block spyware and keylogger backchannel communication.
- Extend policy control and enforcement to the network level.
- Manage peer-to-peer (P2P), email, file transfer, and other protocols.
Applications - More Than 1.9 Million Applications and Executables in 50+ Categories
Application Categories allow organizations to define flexible, scalable policies for application use at the desktop that:
- Prohibit unauthorized applications from being installed or launched.
- Minimize exposure to malicious applications, such as hacking tools or applications containing malicious mobile code.
- Decrease the possibility of application conflicts and the IT resources required to fix them.
