Websense Content Gateway supports the ICAP v1 protocol for integration with the third party data loss prevention (DLP) applications, such as Symantec Data Loss Prevention (formerly Vontu Data Loss Prevention) and RSA Data Loss Prevention. Data loss prevention applications deliver multi-protocol monitoring and blocking of sensitive data leaving the network. DLP is available in various configurations, one of which utilizes a HTTP/HTTPS/FTP proxy with ICAP client such as the Websense Content Gateway for monitoring and blocking of sensitive data.
This document provides instructions on configuring Websense Content Gateway as an ICAP client for non-Websense DLP products acting as the ICAP server.
