One step closer to total web security.

Basic web security is a reliable product to build on.

Our legacy web security product keeps on ticking. We first put our basic web security product to work in the early 2000s. It quickly became a market leader, featuring:

  • Protection against sites that host malware
  • Dozens of embedded reports
  • Hundreds of security updates every day, around the clock
  • Flexible deployment as on-premise software, on-premise appliance, or in the cloud
  • Built-in best-practice policies that reduce legal liability and increase productivity



Websense Security Labs identified a 111.4% increase in the number of malicious websites from 2009 to 2010.
