I have users who frequently work outside of the network, whether travelling or telecommuting. How can I protect these users' machines from Web threats?
In addition to filtering users inside your organization's network, Websense Web security solutions provide options for filtering users when they are outside the network:
* Hybrid filtering: If you have Websense Security Gateway Anywhere, you can use hybrid filtering to monitor Internet activity for users outside the network, regardless of how they are filtered when they are in the network. Hybrid filtering regulates activity through browser settings (a PAC file).
Hybrid filtering is available only with Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere.
* Remote filtering software: You can install remote filtering software to monitor Internet activity for users outside the network. Remote filtering software deployment requires installation of Remote Filtering Client on each client machine. Remote Filtering Client is protected so that it cannot easily be removed by the end-user.
Remote Filtering Client is included with Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere subscriptions, and is available as an option for Websense Web Filter, Websense Web Security, and Websense Web Security Gateway customers.
These methods can be used, for example, to filter users who work from home, users who travel using company laptops, or students who use institutional laptops on and off campus.
