TRITON RiskVision Discovers Advanced Persistent Threats with Unmatched Sandboxing and Data Theft Detection

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Websense, Inc. today announced its new TRITON® RiskVision monitoring solution, which brings industry-leading data loss prevention and multi-layer sandboxing technology to customers seeking to stay ahead of advanced threats. With the industry's most advanced threat identification capabilities, TRITON RiskVision is the only solution on the market that goes beyond simple malware identification with heuristics, behavioral analysis and sandboxing. Organizations with RiskVision can uniquely detect when criminals try to conceal data theft through proprietary and custom-encrypted data.  

"Websense® TRITON RiskVision boosts the caliber of threat monitoring technology," said Charles Kolodgy, research vice president for IDC. "Uniquely positioned within the market, it combines Websense's advanced threat protection intelligence with data loss detection and sandboxing. The demand for specialized threat analysis and protection will increase as more companies determine they require additional detection capabilities."

Global organizations are constantly battling with advanced persistent threats (APTs) and targeted attacks focused on extracting intellectual property. Scalable across existing platforms and network infrastructure, TRITON RiskVision combines real-time APT defenses, global security intelligence, file sandboxing and industry-leading data loss/data theft detection into a single appliance.

Administrators have immediate access to automated TRITON RiskVision risk assessment reports to quickly gain insight into their security posture. From there, administrators can access more than 60 pre-defined/customizable reports, threat dashboards and forensic details to get a complete view of their security incidents. Automatic email alerts to administrators also warn of suspicious activity and potential data theft in real time, enabling a rapid response to interrupt the attacks.

TRITON RiskVision unifies four key defenses into one platform:

1. Websense ACE (Advanced Classification Engine) uses seven defense assessment areas with more than 10,000 analytics to provide real-time threat analysis of web traffic.
2. Websense ThreatSeeker® Intelligence Cloud unites more than 900 million endpoints and analyzes 3-5 billion requests per day, providing global threat awareness and vital defense analytics to ACE.
3. Websense TRITON ThreatScope™ provides elastic, multi-layer sandboxing to analyze the behavior of cross-platform files and other objects to uncover advanced threats and provide forensic reporting.
4. Data loss prevention (DLP) defenses include custom-encrypted data theft detection and geo-location destination awareness. Additional detection capabilities include registered and described data exfiltration, criminal-encrypted uploads, password file data theft and slow data leaks.

"Today's advanced threats are often invisible to traditional web security solutions and simple threat monitoring," said Russ Dietz, Websense CTO. "Organizations need rapid intelligence to outmaneuver cybercriminals. TRITON RiskVision outperforms other technologies by providing immediate visibility into the cyber threat landscape and actionable data to facilitate swift network security reinforcement."

Websense TRITON RiskVision detects advanced threats, data theft/loss attempts and conducts behavioral forensic analysis—all of which help IT departments quickly counter cybercriminal activities. TRITON RiskVision is part of the overall Websense TRITON product portfolio, which provides intelligently integrated web, email and data protection.

For increased visibility, organizations can also utilize the Websense CyberSecurity Intelligence™ (CSI) services to access an online sandbox environment, continuing education, current research and the expert Websense® Security Labs™ guidance. All Websense CSI customers have access to ThreatScope to safely test for potential malware.
