In the past, most Web content was static and predictable. But today’s reality is that Web content—even from so-called “trusted” sites—is constantly changing with end-users encouraged to post, edit, or manipulate content. The most popular and heavily-trafficked sites that make the most use of dynamic Web 2.0 content, are also the most vulnerable to attack. In fact, according to Websense® research covering the first half of 2008, over sixty percent of these top 100 sites either hosted malicious content or contained a masked redirect to an illegitimate site.

Websense understands both the content and the context of the Internet landscape through its industry-leading ThreatSeeker™ Network, and feeds this intelligence into all its security solutions. Websense is the first security vendor to address the risks of Web 2.0 by deploying ThreatSeeker analytics inline at the customer’s gateway, providing dynamic, adaptive protection against new threats and uncategorized content.

Websense customers can now harness the power of Web 2.0, while keeping security risks in check by examining the content of both inbound and outbound HTTP and SSL-encrypted traffic. Real-time content analysis is combined with powerful anti-malware, Web reputation, and URL filtering protection to proactively block malicious content before other security solutions even know it exists. This approach keeps networks secure, while still enabling the latest Web-based tools, applications, and legitimate content.
