(Source: MARKETWIRE)Websense, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN), the leader in content security solutions, today announced that Radialpoint is leveraging the carrier-grade Websense security-as-a-service threat detection and protection network -- Websense(R) ThreatSeeker(R) Cloud -- to provide real-time Web security protection for more than one million of its Internet service provider (ISP) customers' end-users. Radialpoint, a leading provider of ISP-delivered managed services and support for the digital home, is using the ThreatSeeker Cloud to protect their customers from dynamic Web security threats, online fraud and phishing attacks.

Radialpoint provides some of the world's largest ISPs with a PC security solution and service-delivery platform -- Radialpoint Internet Security Services -- that helps ISPs protect their end-users from viruses, spyware, fraud, inappropriate content and other online threats. Through this new partnership with Websense, Radialpoint Internet Security Services use the Websense ThreatSeeker Cloud Web application to determine the security classification and overall reputation of a Web site and its content in real-time. The ThreatSeeker Cloud leverages security intelligence gathered from the 50 million real-time data collecting systems of the Websense ThreatSeeker Network and the company's continuously updated database of millions of classified URLs across more than 90 categories, in more than 50 languages.

By comparing Web site content that a user is trying to visit with the security and content intelligence in the Websense ThreatSeeker Cloud, Radialpoint provides ISPs access to the industry's most advanced Web security intelligence so they can, in turn, protect their individual customers in real-time from Internet threats as well as provide the flexibility for individuals to manage their Web content preferences when Web browsing. For example, when users of Radialpoint Internet Security Services visit a Web site -- in real time and transparent to the user -- the Web site and its content is analyzed through the Websense ThreatSeeker Cloud threat detection and protection network. If the Web site has been classified by Websense as malicious, fraud or phishing, the Internet user can be warned and protected from going to the site.

"Radialpoint will only work with best-of-breed vendors and Websense is the clear leader in Web threat intelligence and technology. By leveraging the Websense ThreatSeeker Cloud, users of our Internet Security Services are protected with the most up-to-date Web attack, phishing and fraud protection and Web content safety available today," said Jean-Francois Gailleur, director of product management, Internet Security, Radialpoint. "With Websense, we have seen an increase in Web security coverage and accuracy with no noticeable latency, scaling or reliability issues, even as we have added millions of users across ISPs in multiple countries to this service over the last quarter.
