MUMBAI, INDIA: Websense Inc., a provider in email security solutions, today announced that Tolly Group, a provider in validation services has confirmed it as a leader in Secure Web Gateway technology.

It has been successful in meeting the industry analyst criteria ranging from malware protection, data loss prevention and Web 2.0 threat detection, the release said.

A report from the Tolly group, ‘The Web Security Challenge: A Competitive Guide to Selecting Secure Web Gateways’ stated that the Websense Web Security Gateway combines powerful and easy-to-manage software with the ability to mitigate dynamic Web-based threats.

“The ability of a secure Web gateway to detect malicious content accurately on dynamic Web sites like Web 2.0 relies greatly on real-time analysis of content, and not just on the reputation of Web sites,” said Kevin Tolly, president and chief executive officer, The Tolly Group.

“While many of the products we tested excelled in one or maybe two areas, only the Websense Web Security Gateway delivered uniformly high performance and was feature-rich across all functional areas,” he added.

He added that as confirmed by this new research, Websense is uniquely poised to help businesses adopt Web 2.0 without fear of malicious code, data loss or productivity issues.
