Websense recently introduced the new Websense TRITON unified security architecture, combining Websense Web, data and e-mail security technologies into a single platform delivering unified content analysis and management.

The company says that its TRITON architecture integrates the real-time Web content analysis and malware protection of the Websense Web Security Gateway with Websense Data Security Suite and Websense E-mail Security to protect organizations and their essential information from blended threats and targeted attacks while easing administration and lowering total cost of ownership.

Brian Burke, Program Director, Security Products at IDC Research, said, “To be effective against modern threats, Web security technologies must have a robust data loss prevention and be capable of maintaining compliance and control by analyzing inbound and outbound Web traffic in real-time. They must also provide a unified platform for on-premise and security-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions so security policies can be applied and enforced equally across even dispersed enterprises.”

By delivering TruContent intelligence and TruHybrid, Websense says that TRITON consolidates an organization’s Web, data and e-mail security solutions into a single architecture, improves security coverage for dispersed offices and remote employees, and reduces the complexity and cost of deploying and managing security implementations across distributed enterprises.

“Hybrid security solutions that provide a unified platform of SaaS and on-premise deliver a higher degree of security while addressing the needs of organizations with decentralized offices and mobile workers, when compared to a single deployment model,” said Burke.

Said Websense President John McCormack, “TRITON provides Websense customers the best protection against modern threats at a lower total cost of ownership.”
