Bold Approach To Security
Websense ThreatSeeker technology delivers pre-emptive protection from Web-based security threats - threats typically missed or too costly to prevent using security technologies such as antivirus and intrusion prevention systems. Unlike these approaches, Websense seeks out threats on the Internet before customers are compromised and protects customers before patches and signatures are created. Unlike intrusion prevention systems, Websense ThreatSeeker doesn't have massive costs and administrative burdens. With Websense security software, powered by Websense ThreatSeeker, organizations are automatically protected from the latest threats within minutes and with no guesswork.
