Nation's Largest Not-for-Profit Home Healthcare Organization Taps Websense to Provide Safe Access

For Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY), the largest not-for-profit home healthcare organization in the United States, safeguarding confidential patient data while allowing its thousands of in-home nurses who use wireless laptops to use the Internet is essential to business. Recognizing the growing business value of Web 2.0 sites that allow user-generated content as communication tools, VNSNY turned to Websense, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN) for an integrated content-based security solution.

With 13,300 employees and more than 2,700 nurses, VNSNY cares for more than 30,000 patients daily throughout New York City and Westchester and Nassau counties. In 2008, VNSNY clinicians made close to 2.5 million home visits.

Using cutting-edge technology is a priority for VNSNY and each nurse carries a laptop to better communicate in the field, take notes during visits and access internal databases, health and medication records, and insurance information. VNSNY relies on the Websense(R) Web Security Gateway integrated with the enterprise data loss prevention solution Websense Data Security Suite, to protect essential patient information from Web-based threats and from accidental or malicious data loss.

"With thousands of nurses in the field at any given time with wireless Internet-enabled laptops, having secure access to patient data over the Web is a critical part of our organization and a reason why we are so successful," said Larry Whiteside, chief information security officer, VNSNY. "We rely on the Websense V10000 secure Web gateway appliance to enable our nurses to quickly get the information they need safely and securely. With the real-time scanning and the ability to create flexible policies around Internet use, I don't worry about our field nurses encountering a Web site that has been compromised with data-stealing malicious code or accidentally sending confidential patient data to the wrong place."

Recently, the VNSNY marketing department began exploring Facebook as a mechanism to engage a wider audience of individuals who have been a patient of, or are interested in the services provided by the VNSNY. The organization launched a presence on Facebook with a fan page that enables the social networking site visitors to receive information on events and communicate with other members of the fan page.

"Unmanaged use of Web 2.0 technology is risky, introducing potential threats and data loss, but we recognize that things like Facebook and Twitter are being used more and more by organizations like ours to communicate with patients and employees as well as recruit new employees," added Whiteside. "Websense was the only vendor that was able to give us the necessary integrated policy controls for both Web security and data loss prevention to securely enable our business. Using the integrated combination of Websense Web Security Gateway and Websense Data Security Suite enables the safe use of these Web 2.0 sites and applications because it scans content in real-time, ensuring that we don't get infected by an emerging Web threat. Additionally, if an employee or someone else tries to post company-confidential information to one of these sites, the data loss prevention solution will block it from being posted."

"Organizations are increasingly seeing business value in enabling access to Web 2.0 sites and applications. According to a recent survey of 1300 IT managers, 62 percent believe that Web 2.0 is necessary to their business, yet, the majority of these organizations admitted they lack the necessary security to protect from Web 2.0 threats," said Jim Haskin, CIO and senior vice president of marketing, Websense. "The Websense Web Security Gateway allows organizations to embrace Web 2.0 tools without fear of security risks and used in combination with our data loss prevention solution, customers like Visiting Nurse Service of New York can rest assured that their essential data is protected, while they take advantage of the latest technologies to enhance their organization."

All Websense solutions, including Websense Web Security Gateway and Websense Data Security Suite, are powered by the Websense ThreatSeeker(R) Network which continuously monitors the Internet for changes and emerging threats. The resulting intelligence is immediately incorporated into the company's Web, data and email security solutions. As a result, Websense solutions adapt to the rapidly changing Internet threat environment at speeds not possible by traditional security solutions.

Websense Completes Financial Restatement Relating to Revision of OEM Revenue Recognition Policy and

Websense (NASDAQ: WBSN) today announced that it has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission amendments to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008 restates consolidated financial information for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, as well as quarterly results for those years.

The restatements relate to an error in the method of recognizing royalty revenue related to contracts with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers (and its associated impact on the tax provision), and an error in the computation of the income tax provision for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 that overstated the company's estimate of taxable income for the purposes of the provision. Additionally, the restated consolidated financial statements include other adjustments that were identified but not previously recorded as they were determined not to be material, either individually or in the aggregate.

The following table summarizes the quarterly impact of the adjustments to the company's reported net income and loss (unaudited, in thousands).

Radialpoint Leverages Websense Cloud-Based Threat Technology to Protect Millions of End-Users From

Websense, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN), the leader in content security solutions, today announced that Radialpoint is leveraging the carrier-grade Websense security-as-a-service threat detection and protection network -- Websense(R) ThreatSeeker(R) Cloud -- to provide real-time Web security protection for more than one million of its Internet service provider (ISP) customers' end-users. Radialpoint, a leading provider of ISP-delivered managed services and support for the digital home, is using the ThreatSeeker Cloud to protect their customers from dynamic Web security threats, online fraud and phishing attacks.

Radialpoint provides some of the world's largest ISPs with a PC security solution and service-delivery platform -- Radialpoint Internet Security Services -- that helps ISPs protect their end-users from viruses, spyware, fraud, inappropriate content and other online threats. Through this new partnership with Websense, Radialpoint Internet Security Services use the Websense ThreatSeeker Cloud Web application to determine the security classification and overall reputation of a Web site and its content in real-time. The ThreatSeeker Cloud leverages security intelligence gathered from the 50 million real-time data collecting systems of the Websense ThreatSeeker Network and the company's continuously updated database of millions of classified URLs across more than 90 categories, in more than 50 languages.

By comparing Web site content that a user is trying to visit with the security and content intelligence in the Websense ThreatSeeker Cloud, Radialpoint provides ISPs access to the industry's most advanced Web security intelligence so they can, in turn, protect their individual customers in real-time from Internet threats as well as provide the flexibility for individuals to manage their Web content preferences when Web browsing. For example, when users of Radialpoint Internet Security Services visit a Web site -- in real time and transparent to the user -- the Web site and its content is analyzed through the Websense ThreatSeeker Cloud threat detection and protection network. If the Web site has been classified by Websense as malicious, fraud or phishing, the Internet user can be warned and protected from going to the site.

"Radialpoint will only work with best-of-breed vendors and Websense is the clear leader in Web threat intelligence and technology. By leveraging the Websense ThreatSeeker Cloud, users of our Internet Security Services are protected with the most up-to-date Web attack, phishing and fraud protection and Web content safety available today," said Jean-Francois Gailleur, director of product management, Internet Security, Radialpoint. "With Websense, we have seen an increase in Web security coverage and accuracy with no noticeable latency, scaling or reliability issues, even as we have added millions of users across ISPs in multiple countries to this service over the last quarter. With more than 50 million Internet subscribers worldwide, through some of the world's largest Internet service providers, we are committed to providing Internet security services that include the most reliable and effective Web security protection possible."

Radialpoint's Internet Security Services offer industry-leading Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Firewall and Fraud Protection services at its core, with additional Parental Controls, PC Optimizer, Pop-Up/Ad Blocker, Privacy Manager, and Back-up services to complete the suite. The latest version of Radialpoint's Internet Security Services include a behavior-based malware detection and removal service called Proactive Protection along with Wi-Fi Security for end-users connecting to wireless networks and hotspots. Designed for the everyday user, Radialpoint's solution greatly simplifies the experience of accessing and using security, still the major barriers to consumer protection online. It also significantly reduces the burden on users and their PCs by automating critical malware updates at three hour intervals, and imposing the minimum impact on computer speed and performance. With a larger base of better-protected subscribers, Radialpoint's ISP partners enjoy lower support calls, higher customer satisfaction, positive brand association and reduced customer churn.

Websense ThreatSeeker Cloud is a security-as-a-service Web content classification system used by Websense partners including Internet service providers (ISPs), third-party developers, Web 2.0 applications, mobile device operators and other technology vendors to protect their end-users from dynamic Internet threats in real-time without the need for on-premise hardware or software. ThreatSeeker Cloud provides, as a Web-based service, access to the threat intelligence gathered by the Websense ThreatSeeker Network, which processes more than 1.5 billion security transactions daily to discover emerging threats. On average, ThreatSeeker Network identifies 250,000 new threats each month that traditional anti-virus systems do not cover.

"Radialpoint is an industry leader in providing ISPs with managed security services and support solutions that enable a better and safer Internet experience for consumers," said Devin Redmond, vice president of product management and business development, Websense. "This partnership is an example of how we are able to extend the core of our Web security and content identification capabilities through the ThreatSeeker Cloud to other applications in the security space. We've been protecting enterprise customers from the latest Web-based attacks for more than a decade. This partnership provides that leading Web threat intelligence and content identification to Radialpoint's best-in-class Internet Security Services in a high performance and scalable way to address today's Web security and safety challenges."

Today Radialpoint is using the Websense ThreatSeeker Cloud to protect Internet users from online fraud and phishing attacks. Later Radialpoint will incorporate ThreatSeeker Cloud threat and Web intelligence into a broader Safe Search offering for its ISP customers. The Safe Search offering will provide Internet users with a "score" on the security and safety of the Web content. This enables Web users to make an informed decision before going to a Web destination.
