More for Blended Threats by Websense

MUMBAI: Websense, Inc, a player in unified email security solutions, has announced the launch of a new global, managed security service provider (MSSP) program. The dramatic rise in Web-based and blended attacks is driving the adoption of security solutions that address the need for security that enables expanding use of Web-based

applications, online collaboration tools and email in order to utilize, exchange and share data. With the growth in adoption of Web, email and data loss prevention technologies, organizations are increasingly looking to managed security service providers to manage and support these new IT security systems in their enterprise.

"With the recent Operation Aurora attack, more organizations are looking to MSSPs that offer integrated solutions to protect from both inbound and outbound threats and thwart attacks from today's modern, blended threats,"

said Rob Ayoub, Industry Manager, Network Security Technologies for Frost & Sullivan. "The Websense TRITON unified security architecture protects against dynamic, blended threats while lowering the total cost of

ownership."

As per a press release, the Websense MSSP program rollout is available for select service providers that meet Websense minimum criteria in technical competency, services capacity and investment in joint core business on an invitation-only basis.

Websense is enabling these MSSPs with the best practices, an integrated solution framework, services delivery platform, certification, training, and sales enablement resources to cost effectively deploy enterprise wide

protection. The program's service delivery framework includes managed Web and DLP content security services for customer on-premise equipment, as well as white-label branding options for Websense and unified security

software-as-a-services (SaaS) for Web and email.
