Executive Guide to Data Loss Prevention

Choose a Web security module.

Web security protects your data and users:

From modern Web malware that antivirus
software can’t see
On info-sharing sites like Facebook, Dropbox, webmail, and wikis
With flexible policies that enhance productivity and make it safe to take full advantage of the dynamic Web

Today’s Web is dynamic.
You and 2 billion others use it every day.

It’s a risky place for data.
Security threats target confidential names, numbers, and other data.

Legacy solutions are no longer enough.
Antivirus products and URL filters can’t detect today’s clever, complicated Web threats.

Choose an email security module.

Email security protects confidential data by:

Scrutinizing inbound email for malicious links, files, or other threats
Giving you tight control over data leaks in outbound email

Incoming email puts you at risk.
80% of incoming email is spam, often with links to malicious websites. The other 20% can carry infected files, invasive scripts, and other security risks.

Outbound email can leak confidential data.
Employees often send sensitive data to personal email accounts so they can work from home. Or they may send sensitive data by mistake. Either way puts your data at risk.

Websense offers 24/7 email protection for:

Inbound threats, including blended Web and email attacks
Outbound data loss prevention (DLP)

Choose a data security module.

Data security protects confidential information:

Via email, Web posts, printers, laptops, and mobile devices outside your company

Data is your company’s lifeblood.
Financial records, customer lists, credit card numbers. Confidential data is your company’s lifeblood – and a major security target

Good security prevents data leaks.
Policies protect your data, but it’s easy to accidentally send it in files, emails, or unsafe applications. One mistake can result in lost productivity, reputation, and future sales.

Tight controls for regulatory compliance
Simplified management and reporting
Deep (not “light”) DLP in email and Web
Options for network DLP, endpoint DLP, and discovery modules for finding sensitive data throughout your network
