ENDPOINT SECURITY

Client workstations, or endpoints, pose a unique set of security challenges for organizations. Endpoint security threats can enter the organization in a variety of ways. They can enter when a remote or mobile user accesses the internet through an outside network with inadequate security. Spyware, keyloggers, malicious mobile code, and other malware can lodge on the endpoint, degrading performance, causing data loss, and requiring the IT department to spend time remediating or re-imaging the workstation. Additionally, when the user re-enters the organization’s network, the local endpoint security threat may quickly spread to other endpoints throughout the network.

Users themselves can also be a source of endpoint security threats. Unauthorized applications loaded to workstations may, at the very least, cause application conflicts or even contain malware. Removable media, such as CD/DVD burners, USB drives, and the like may allow users to take confidential information out of the organization. With security threats growing in complexity and destructiveness, organizations need an endpoint security system.

Websense endpoint security solutions provide flexible policy management of applications and web content, preventing dangerous and malicious activity while ensuring compliance and productivity.
