Websense Earns 2013 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for Customer Value Enhancement

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Dec. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the Web and e-mail content security market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Websense with the 2013 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for Customer Value Enhancement. Websense earned this achievement by proactively protecting organizations from advanced threats and data loss, while demonstrating excellence in designing security platforms with efficient manageability in mind.

"The Websense^® TRITON solution is more than just an effective security system, it is also designed with manageability in mind," said Frost & Sullivan Industry Principal Frank Dickson. "Armed with a system that stops today's most advanced attacks, Websense security professionals have one integrated view of their systems to simplify forensics and threat resolution across all channels."

Websense has leveraged its experience in content security to provide comprehensive TRITON^® solutions that unify Web security, e-mail security, mobile security, and data loss prevention (DLP). Websense is only one of the two vendors in the content security market with double-digit market share.

"Seamless management and advanced, integrated threat intelligence are top priorities in our Websense TRITON solutions," said John McCormack, Websense CEO. "It's imperative that a security system is easy for professionals to oversee and manage. An assortment of disparate, independent security solutions across Web, email, and mobile channels cannot compare with unified defenses backed by cohesive threat intelligence. It's an honor to be recognized for our ease of management and security effectiveness."

Instead of having to log in to several individual security systems, Websense TRITON solutions provide security professionals with an integrated view and management of all of the systems (Web, e-mail, data security and mobile) in a singular, easy-to-use console. The TRITON solution's cross-platform management tools also allow security professionals to establish one set of policies that is automatically implemented across multiple security domains.

Today's security teams are already overburdened. The combination of greater security complexity and understaffed security departments can lead to a significant degradation in corporate network security. Naturally, security professionals are eager for tools that simplify security administration and management.

"Next-generation tools need to go beyond just using, managing, and maintaining an individual solution," said Dickson. "They should provide greater visibility and consolidated management functionality across multiple channels."

Websense has also strengthened its security solution portfolio with alliances with companies such as F5 Networks, VMware, Citrix, Microsoft, IBM and Facebook.
