Websense Security-as-a-Service

The Fast Path to Industry-Leading Security

Websense Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) provides a fast and easy deployment path for the Websense Hosted Web Security and Websense Hosted Email Security products. SaaS shifts all security inspection, enforcement, and management processes from the customer’s location to 10 globally available datacenters “in the cloud.” With this infrastructure, Web and email security services can be deployed across large and small offices located around the world in minutes. Customers gain all the benefits of the industry’s leading content security, while eliminating the distribution, deployment, and ongoing upgrade of on-premise hardware.

Websense SaaSNo On-Premise Equipment or Upgrades
SaaS eliminates the distribution, deployment, and ongoing upgrade of on-premise equipment. Websense takes those operational tasks off your hands, eliminating not only operational costs but also dramatically shrinking deployment time. This is especially true for distributed organizations where remote IT support resources may be limited or nonexistent.

Security Effectiveness
SaaS Web security and email security customers automatically and continuously receive real-time threat updates from the Websense ThreatSeeker® Network. No action is required by the customer to stay ahead of the latest threats. Additionally, the scale and elasticity of cloud computing resources delivers multilayered threat protection without any performance impact. As a result, Websense customers achieve industry-leading protection against dynamic, zero-day threats without the overhead associated with on-premise security updates or capacity monitoring.

Full Policy Management and Reporting Control
The SaaS platform delivers highly available, centralized policy management and reporting across globally distributed locations without the need for deployment of redundant on-premise management servers. Policies can even be extended to include role and user-specific controls via integration with on-premise directory services. Websense customers retain full control of their policies, without the cost and complexity of on-premise management servers.

Web and Email Integration
Websense SaaS Web security and email security are integrated at every level. A single user interface configures both, and both leverage shared management services including user directory synchronization, delegated administration, reporting, account management, and more. This integrated approach eliminates repetitive tasks, consolidates vendor support, and lowers administrative training costs.

Carrier Grade Datacenter Availability and Security
Websense SaaS Web security and email security customers benefit from carrier-grade data center security and reliability that would be extremely costly for individual organizations to maintain on their own. Ten ISO 27001 certified data centers distributed around the globe meet the strict security and availability standards.
