A: Modern technology has changed the face of business and opened up many opportunities. However, the proliferation of information stored and shared electronically is proving to be rich pickings for aggressive fast moving security threats.  With the ability to identify and monitor an organisations’ sensitive data, DLP solutions help prevent data loss through data transmission and exchange including email, Web, USB, and other channels.

DLP solutions provide CIO’s with the visibility into where data resides, where it’s sent and by whom. DLP can also simplify the task of ensuring regulatory compliance with built-in templates for financial, health care, and other regulated industries.

A: Any company that has data needs to protect it. The drivers certainly vary from vertical to vertical but the basic need remains the same - to secure the data.

Providing fexibility to meet the specifc requirements of each organization, Websense data loss prevention solutions comprise four unique modules. The modular design enables staged rollouts that best meet organizations’ specifc needs. We are focusing on the enterprise sector and in India we have customers from BFSI, telecom, IT and BPO sectors like Reliance Capital and Cognizant.  

SMBs too are looking at DLP solutions as they have fewer customers and if they lose the trust of even a single customer then it would negatively impact their organization. Management of the solution is the major concern for the SMB sector and hence we have partnered with service providers that can help them in managing the solution.

A: Websense Data Endpoint extends the visibility and control to endpoints over what confdential data is and should be stored; who is using it; how it is being used; where it is being transferred; and what real-time action is taken to prevent data loss at the endpoint. Providing visibility and control over copy-paste, screen capture, print, and transfer to removable media, Websense Data Endpoint can enforce policies in the endpoint environment with minimal overhead. We also provide encryption on the devices.

A: Websense DLP technologies are part of the Websense TRITON solution and provide market-leading DLP capabilities designed to secure sensitive information and intellectual property, as well as manage and enforce regulatory requirements. Our competitors have bundled the DLP solutions with their other solutions and they do not offer a complete end to end DLP solutions. We at Websense provide a complete DLP infrastructure that includes Web, e-mail and data security. We have 900 pre-defned policies build in the system to quickly start the risk management within the organization and we know how to successfully deploy the solution and have a single interface that helps to reduce the customer’s complexity and risk. Websense have around 75% share of the actual DLP deployment in 2009.

A: The Websense Data Security Suite provides DLP for Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications to ensure sensitive data is only transferred to and from approved SaaS applications.

Websense recently introduced TRITON - the frst and only solution to combine industry-leading Web security, email security, and DLP security technologies into one unifed architecture. The TRITON solution delivers increased content security and cost savings helping organizations achieve a signifcant return on their security investments while enabling them to leverage all the benefts of Web 2.0 — unlike point solutions that rely on redundant multi-vendor management tools.

Looking across the security industry as a whole, other security vendors are lagging quite a way behind the solution needed to combat modern security threats head on. Their goals are to unify their security solutions and their on-premise and SaaS deployment models, but only Websense is delivering this now, today, through the TRITON unifed security architecture.
