Integration with Firewalls, Proxy Servers, Caches, Switches, Routers and Appliances
Overview
Websense Enterprise® provides its Internet filtering
capabilities on leading security and network systems
for easy integration and deployment. This allows organizations to improve employee productivity, network bandwidth, security and reduce legal liability related to employee Internet use on their current networks. providing organizations with flexible options for deploying Websense in their networks.
Seamless integration and rapid deployment of Internet filtering capabilities
Websense Enterprise integrates with a wide range of security and network
products including firewalls, proxy servers, caches, switches, routers and appliances. Websense Enterprise has been thoroughly tested and is certified to work seamlessly with major security and network
vendors, including Cisco, Sun, Check Point and Microsoft. Since Websense Enterprise leverages your existing infrastructure, deployment is quick and easy.
Websense Enterprise can be deployed in one of three ways, depending on your network requirements:
- Integrated Deployment
- Embedded Deployment
- Stand-alone Deployment
The breadth and depth of Websense deployment options ensures ease of installation and maintenance while
maximizing scalability, performance and feature support.
Integrated Deployment
Websense Enterprise integrated solutions enable seamless deployment of filtering functionality with
your existing network infrastructure. Websense integrated approach with firewalls, caches, proxies, routers and switches delivers "pass-through" filtering by leveraging the packet-capturing
capabilities of the network gateway.
Integrated deployment is ideal for the large data center, offering the following key benefits to
customers:
Maximum Scalability
- Integrated solutions leverage the packet-capturing capabilities of network gateways, providing the most comprehensive filtering available. Integrated deployment allows your organization to scale reliably as network loads and transaction volumes increase.
Superior Stability
- Integrated deployment eliminates the possibility of a single point of failure, as network and gateway resources can function independently.
Embedded Deployment
Websense Enterprise embedded solutions enable an on-box integration with an appliance or gateway
product. This deployment option decreases the number of separate hardware components necessary for Internet filtering.
Although feature support may vary among embedded solutions, IT administrators can realize key benefits
that are important for remote or branch offices:
Lower Hardware Expense
- The reduced number of separate hardware components decreases the total cost of ownership of your Internet filtering solution by making installation easier and lowering maintenance and management expenses.
Decreased Network Latency
- Websense Enterprise embedded solutions minimize network latency and provide improved filtering performance by combining multiple functions onto one platform.
Stand-Alone Deployment
Websense Enterprise offers stand-alone deployment for any size environment. Websense Network Agent
enables "pass-by" filtering technology and is compatible and interoperates with any network gateway while providing full-featured filtering capabilities.
Suitable for organizations of all sizes, stand-alone deployment offers the following key benefits to
customers:
Ease of Use and Installation
- Websense Enterprise stand-alone solution allows organizations to install and deploy full-featured filtering without the involvement of third-party gateway solutions.
Maximum Network Performance
- Websense stand alone deployment, based on the Websense Network Agent technology, ensures enterprises of maximum network performance. The Network Agent acts as a direct interface to network traffic - not a proxy - and simply filters packets as they cross the wire without adversely affecting network performance.
