Websense® Content Gateway is a high-performance Web proxy that provides real-time content scanning and Web site classification to protect network computers from malicious Web content while controlling employee access to dynamic, user-generated Web 2.0 content. Web content has evolved from a static information source to a sophisticated platform for 2-way communications, which can be a valuable productivity tool when adequately secured.
The dilemma for administrators is how much access to allow. Web 2.0 sites rely primarily on HTTP/HTTPS protocols, which cannot be blocked without halting all Internet traffic. Malicious content can use this means of entry into a company network.
The Websense Content Gateway module offers:
* Automatic categorization of dynamic Web 2.0 sites
* Automatic categorization of new, unclassified sites
* HTTPS content inspection
* Enterprise proxy caching capabilities
Websense Content Gateway is deployed as an add-on module with Websense Web Security or Websense Web Filter. Websense Content Gateway can also be an important piece of the following Websense deployments:
* Web Security Gateway for on premises deployments. On premises deployments may be implemented on Websense V-Series appliances or as software running on general purpose servers.
* Hosted Web Security Gateway for software as a service (SaaS) deployments
* Web Security Gateway Anywhere for distributed enterprises with one or more branch offices and multiple remote users
