Websense Unveils X10G: Scalable Solution To Malware, DLP

Large enterprises and service providers urgently need a scalable way to stop advanced malware and data theft that is easily evading first-generation web proxies. Content security leader Websense has the answer—the new Websense X10G model. It is a highly available and scalable system with critical real-time data-aware contextual defenses, which are applied to all inbound and outbound requests, and that defends against advanced malware and prevent intellectual property theft.

“The new Websense X10G will be well received by Fortune 500 customers because it has the performance and scale that they need to be secure given the realities of today’s threats,” said Jeff Wilson, principal security analyst for Infonetics Research. “Websense is improving security technology by examining web and data content as it attempts to enter and leave an organisation. The company continues to innovate and deliver security technology that protects organisations from the latest malware while proving its proficiency in data theft protection. Real-time malware security that isn’t based on static updates is a must-have to combat today’s cybercriminals.”
In the new Websense X-Series product line, the Websense X10G modular chassis architecture goes beyond traditional legacy web gateways that rely on antivirus (AV) and static URL filtering. Through the Websense TRITON architecture, the X10G is unmatched in its ability to correlate unified security intelligence in real-time for multiple classifiers such as security, data, and content for all requests. It also allows IT to set policies once across platforms and provides a “single pane of glass” for management and reporting.

“Websense is the established leader in web and data security and the X10G is targeted to address the unique security needs of large enterprises and service providers with its market-leading performance, linear scalability, and aggressive real-time security that is unmatched,” said John McCormack, president, Websense.

“First generation proxies and firewalls are no match for the targeted attacks and dangerous malware that cybercriminals unleash against organisations. The Websense X10G and TRITON architecture gives you the unique choice to deploy on-premise appliances and leverage cloud security services to protect against the latest threats and keep confidential data safe. Aggressive security on all requests, with unique security intelligence from the Websense ThreatSeeker Network, and industry-leading performance and availability isn’t something our competitors can offer,” he said.
