Websense Data Security Overview
Data Loss Prevention Solutions to Secure Confidential Data and Manage Risk and Compliance
Websense® data loss prevention (DLP) technologies are part of the Websense TRITON™ solution and provide market-leading DLP capabilities designed to secure sensitive information and intellectual property, as well as manage and enforce regulatory requirements. Supporting a wide range of deployment options, Websense DLP solutions enable organizations to deploy the DLP solution that best meets their needs with reduced cost and complexity.
Prevent Loss of Sensitive Data
With the ability to identify and monitor organizations’ sensitive data, Websense DLP solutions help prevent data loss through data transmission and exchange including email, Web, USB, and other channels.
Increase Visibility into Where Data is Sent and Stored
Websense DLP solutions provide visibility into where data resides, where it’s sent and by whom.
Meet Regulatory Compliance
Simplify the task of ensuring regulatory compliance with built-in templates for financial, health care, and other regulated industries by using Websense DLP solutions.
The stakes are high in data security.
You pay a high price if you don't have adequate data security.
- Fines. No matter how complex the regulations, if you're caught in noncompliance, you face stiff penalties and fines.
- Productivity. Enforcing the rules for data security can create complicated business processes and restrict employees from using tools designed to boost productivity.
- Reputation. A disparaging post to your company's Facebook page can send negative publicity to millions in a matter of minutes.
Case Study: Stages of data security
See how Websense security products integrate with business processes to dramatically decrease security alerts.

January-April: Monitoring
Websense technology monitors accidental and intentional misuse of sensitive data. Security alerts are sky-high.
May: Employee education
Policy violation notices go to employees who misuse sensitive data (for example, sending a password to a Gmail account). Education results in an immediate 50% decline in alerts.
June-December: Policy enforcement
Automatic email encryption begins, incidents are blocked, data is secure, and alerts drop to a level easily managed by IT incident investigators.
