Websense, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN) the leader in content security
solutions today introduced the Websense(R) ThreatSeeker(R) Cloud, a
cloud-based security service that allows third-party solution
providers to deliver added value and dynamic security protection to
their products and services. The ThreatSeeker Cloud service delivers
Web, data and email security intelligence through the proven
cloud-based delivery infrastructure that powers all Websense content
security products, including the company's software-as-a-service
(SaaS) security offerings and the V10000 Web Security Gateway
Appliance.
"The ThreatSeeker Cloud is basically a carrier-grade subscription
service to our cloud-based content identification and intelligence
infrastructure for third-party solutions providers," said Devin
Redmond, vice president of Business Development and Product
Management at Websense. "It extends the value of Websense technology
to a new set of users in markets that we did not previously address.
This new offering benefits everyone: infrastructure vendors can
increase the total value of their products and services, and end
users gain real-time protection and a better user experience."
The ThreatSeeker Cloud service enables access to the industry's
leading content security intelligence gathered by the 50 million
real-time data collection points of the Websense ThreatSeeker
Network, which processes more than 1.5 billion end user security
requests daily and scans more than 40 million Web sites and ten
million emails each hour to discover new threats. Through a Web-based
application programming interface (API), third-party solution
providers can leverage the ThreatSeeker Cloud to incorporate the
security intelligence of ThreatSeeker Network -- including real-time
Web and content classification, reputation, behavioral analysis, file
and data analysis and security filtering -- into their own products
and services to protect their end users from malicious Web content,
fraud and phishing attacks.
More than 3.5 million end users are already protected from Internet
threats through third-party solution providers using the ThreatSeeker
Cloud.
