Websense Secures Web 2.0

Business IT - Technology

The V10000 takes advantage of a simple hardware platform by offering innovative software. 

Taking advantage of advanced virtualisation technology, the device is able to run multiple web security applications concurrently.  This means that as the requirements grow, additional hardware may be added and some of the functionality migrated.  Additionally, as new functionality is developed, deployment is simple.

Devin Redmond, Websense's Vice President of Business Development, told ITWire that a single device can handle a continuous stream of around 200Mbit/sec.  This can be much higher in a multiple device environment where there might be a 1-to-1 match between hardware and security modules.

The system has these features:

Secure Web Gateway to classify dynamic Web content and identify and protect against Web 2.0 security risks, in real time.

Application protocol control to provide check-box management for more than 125 application protocols to reduce risk security risks. For example, application protocol control helps prevent spyware "phone home" conversations and other outbound threats.

The V10000 includes the Websense Web proxy and cache to inspect, optimize and control Web traffic.  This adds the native ability to inspect and manage SSL encrypted Web communications.

Built-in extensibility for future-proofed security-- The architecture of the V10000 includes advanced virtualization technology to deliver built-in extensibility and support for additional Websense security solutions.

The V10000 is priced at $US16,000 (Australian pricing is yet to be made available) and will be available in the latter half of April.  Visit the website for more information.
