All Web Security solutions: new security certificate
After upgrade, the first time you launch the management console (TRITON Unified Security Center), the browser displays a certificate error.
This appears because the management console uses a certificate signed by Websense, Inc., and Websense, Inc., is not a recognized certificate authority.
After you install the certificate issued by Websense, Inc., in your browser, communication with the management console is secured, and the certificate warning is not displayed again (in this browser).
