Increase your bandwidth, eliminate hardware support costs
Get Websense® web and email security in a hurry. Looking for web and email security that you can deploy quickly and without the burdens of on-premise hardware? Then Websense Security-as-a-Service (SaaS or "cloud") is probably the best choice, especially if you:
- Don't want to invest in hardware
- Do want to minimize hardware deployment and maintenance overhead
Websense SaaS solutions eliminate the need to support on-premise hardware by shifting all security enforcement and management processes to Websense data centres located "in the cloud." Web and email security can be deployed to large offices, small offices and mobile users located around the world in minutes. By eliminating hardware purchase, deployment and update requirements, SaaS customers simplify their networks and reduce total cost of ownership.
SaaS (cloud) deployment advantages:
- No hardware or software to buy or maintain. Websense SaaS eliminates the cost of buying on-premise appliances and deploying, upgrading and maintaining on-premise hardware. This especially benefits organisations looking to provide web security for multiple branch offices that don't have their own IT resources.
- Reduce bandwidth costs. Up to 95%¹ of incoming email is spam. With SaaS, all this unproductive email is intercepted in the cloud. It never hits your servers and never consumes local bandwidth. SaaS web security can also reduce bandwidth costs by eliminating the need to route remote office or mobile-user traffic back to a central location for filtering.
- Ease of scalability. When you're ready to expand web security coverage to new offices or users, it's usually a matter of a a few simple system configurations. You don't need to send IT staff to remote offices, deploy an appliance or provide ongoing appliance support.
- Automatic spooling for email backup. Websense SaaS ensures consistent availability of email by providing automatic spooling in the cloud in case your local systems go down.
- Carrier-grade data center availability and security. Our 10 globally located, carrier-grade data centres in the cloud, which are part of ISO 27001-certified Websense Cloud Services, meet strict security and availability standards that most organisations can't afford on their own. Websense SaaS web and email security services come with a 99.999% uptime service level agreement.
- Web and email security Websense SaaS integrates web security and email security at every level. A single user interface configures both, and both leverage shared management services, including user directory synchronisation, delegated administration, reporting, account management and more. This integrated approach eliminates repetitive tasks, consolidates vendor support and lowers administrative training costs.
