Websense Feature List

Management of employee Internet usage

  • Websense Enterprise Internet filtering uses pass-through filtering technology, the most accurate, reliable and scalable method available. All requests for Web pages pass through an Internet control point such as a firewall, proxy server, router, network switch or caching appliance integrated with Websense software.
     
  • Each request is checked against the Websense Master Database of more than 4 million sites in 44 languages to determine whether it should be allowed or denied. All requests and responses are then logged for reporting purposes.

 

Reporting capabilities you can count on

  • Websense Reporter, a comprehensive, easy-to-use reporting tool, evaluates employee Internet use and risk. Trend, summary or detail reports identify any possible Internet access issues related to network bandwidth, legal liability, productivity and network security.
     
  • With more than 80 standardized reports, custom capabilities and automatic report generation, Websense Reporter makes it easier than ever to keep IT staff and corporate executives informed. Whether looking at longer-term use trends to evaluate effectiveness of access policies or analyzing network usage, Websense Reporter helps you identify issues and opportunities without delay. Reporting capabilities include: trends, management summary, real-time analysis, detail reports, charts, and risk reports.

 

Websense Explorer

  • Websense Explorer is a browser-based, interactive reporting tool that provides unlimited views of company Web usage information. It is easy to use and ideal for HR and department managers that require immediate access to key employee information. Explorer allows immediate data access and statistical analysis of Web activity.

 

 

Functionality that puts you in control

  • With its customizable Internet filtering options, Websense allows management of Internet use that adapts to your corporate environment. Whether you elect to define use by user, group, workstation or network, and block, limit or defer access, Websense can accommodate all of your specific needs.
     
  • At the same time, Websense Enterprise improves network performance by managing employee use of media-rich network protocols. Dynamic Protocol Management applies policies for use of protocols such as instant messaging, streaming media and more, automatically taking immediate action to improve network performance.

 

Bandwidth Optimizer™

  • This add-on module improves overall network performance by reducing non-work related, high-bandwidth media based on real-time network conditions.
     
  • With Bandwidth Optimizer, IT has the flexibility to define usage limits that Websense Enterprise then uses to automatically shut down non-work related, bandwidth-intensive activities until network conditions allow more open access. This enables responsible use of network resources for business-critical functionality while also allowing responsible use of rich-media applications.
 

Client Application Manager™

  • Extend the benefits of employee Internet management to the ultimate source of employee interaction – the desktop – with the Client Application Manager (CAM) add-on module.
     
  • CAM proactively manages desktop software using a unique software categorization and user policy management tool. From high-risk applications such as hacking tools to security threats like instant messaging and spyware to the bandwidth drain of peer-to-peer file sharing, CAM controls the launch of applications based on management specifications.
