Websense® Email Security Gateway provides maximum protection for email systems to prevent malicious threats from entering an organization's network. Email Security provides comprehensive on-premises security hosted on a Websense V-Series appliance (V10000 G2 and V5000 G2). Email Security management functions reside on a separate Windows server in the TRITON™ Unified Security Center.
Each email message is scanned by a robust set of antivirus and antispam filters to prevent infected email from entering a network. Inbound, outbound, and internal email policies can be applied to specified sets of senders and recipients. Websense Email Security Gateway Anywhere adds support for a hybrid service pre-filtering capability "in the cloud," which scans incoming email against a database of known spam and viruses.
Integration with Websense Data Security provides valuable protection for an organization's most sensitive data. Policies configured in the Data Security module can detect the presence of company data and block the release of that data. Data Security can also determine whether a message should be encrypted and pass the message to an encryption server.
Logging and reporting capabilities allow an organization to view system and message status and generate reports of system and email traffic activity. The Email Security Log Database is either installed on the TRITON management server or hosted on a remote Microsoft® SQL Server®.
A Personal Email Manager facility allows authorized end users to manage email messages that Email Security policy has blocked but that may be safe to deliver. End users can maintain individual Always Block and Always Permit lists of email addresses to simplify message delivery.
