"The fundamental shift of Web content creation from trusted sources to anonymous and user-driven collaborations such as wikis, blogs and social networking sites has changed the threat landscape," said Lawrence Orans, research director for Gartner. "Attackers are targeting 'trusted' Web sites with good reputations to circumvent traditional security measures and maximize attack effectiveness. To enable legitimate business use of these sites while still protecting against inbound and outbound malware, organizations are increasingly demanding Secure Web Gateway solutions that go beyond traditional URL filtering to provide real-time inspection of malicious Web content and granular Web application control."

More and more, organizations and their employees are adopting Web 2.0 technologies for legitimate business reasons. But introducing these new technologies without dynamic Web security protection can lead to compromise and data loss. For example, iGoogle Web portals, which are a personalized mashup of different applications and news feeds, may contain valuable business tools, but on the same page a compromised application could expose businesses to risk. Websense Web Security Gateway solves this problem by allowing users to access and view their iGoogle page while protecting users from specific applications, if a risk or inappropriate for business use, within the page in real-time.

"We believe this solution is the answer to the growing problem of Web 2.0 threats and the massive amount of Web content created every day," said John McCormack, senior vice president of technology, Websense. "Only the Websense Web Security Gateway is able to provide real-time protection from malicious content, allowing our customers to use Web 2.0 tools to drive business growth without having to worry about security or productivity drains."

The Industry Innovator in Advanced Web Threat Protection

The pioneer in developing security protection for the Web, Websense has steadily released new technology enhancements to combat the changing Web 2.0 threat environment and protect customers' essential information. In March 2008, the company announced its next-generation research and classification system -- the ThreatSeeker(TM) Network -- the technological foundation for the new Websense Web Security Gateway. In August 2007, Websense deployed new systems across the Internet called "HoneyJax" that emulate user behavior within Web 2.0 applications to uncover threats before they spread.

Increasingly cybercriminals are launching attacks that take advantage of the flaws in traditional security that rely on signatures and Web reputation. In April 2008, Websense discovered hundreds of thousands of well-trafficked, well-known Web sites with "good" reputations that attackers compromised simultaneously. Unlike traditional security, the Websense Web Security Gateway can analyze Web traffic and the Web site content in real-time and immediately protect customers from malicious Web content.

Websense Web Security Gateway is built on more than 10 years of Web security research and powered by the Websense ThreatSeeker(TM) Network, which discovers and analyzes billions of disparate pieces of Internet content every day to rapidly identify newly-infected sites, malware and attack methods.

The managed release of the Websense Web Security Gateway is planned for June 2008. For more information visit: www.websense.com/version7
