Infonet Enhances Its Managed Security Services With Filtering Technology From Websense, Inc.

Global Communications Provider to Offer Multinational Enterprises Award-Winning Websense Web Filtering and Web Security

Websense, Inc. , the world's leading provider of employee internet management solutions, today announced that Infonet Services Corporation , a leading provider of global communications services for multinationals, is integrating Websense Enterprise(R) web filtering and web security functionality into its Managed Security Services portfolio to help its enterprise customers reduce the risks associated with employee use of the internet.

Infonet owns and operates The World Network(R), a global data network that services the communications needs of more than 2,600 multinational organizations in more than 180 countries and territories. These organizations rely on Infonet to provide secure and reliable services, including internet access for employees. An important aspect of all of Infonet's communications services is security. Infonet's Managed Security Services portfolio includes firewall services, intrusion protection services, and additional security services that can be layered for more rigorous protection, such as network threat analysis capabilities, authentication services, instant message (IM) control and antivirus protection.

By adding Websense Enterprise web filtering and web security to its portfolio of Managed Security Services offerings, Infonet is enabling multinational enterprises to manage employee use of the internet -- a capability that promotes productivity while limiting corporate security risks and legal liability.

"The risk of unmanaged Internet usage in the workplace is a growing concern for our clients," said Martin Dipper, vice president of Security Services, Infonet. "With large corporations in particular, there are tremendous productivity benefits that come with defining and enforcing policies for Internet usage. Add in additional protection from internet-based threats to the network and protection from legal liability risks, and the value of Websense(R) to our clients becomes clear."

Websense automates an organization's internet use policy with highly flexible options that enable employees to reap the benefits of the web as a tool for work-related activities, while safeguarding against access to potentially harmful or inappropriate sites.

Available through Infonet's Managed Firewall (MFW) URL Filtering and Blocking service, multinational organizations now have the ability to set custom policies to manage employee access to dangerous or inappropriate content, such as sites infected with malicious mobile code or harboring adult content. In addition, advanced filtering technology from Websense allows IT departments to deny access to websites that contain spyware applications, keyloggers and viruses.

"Websense Enterprise provides an additional layer of security for vulnerability management of blended internet threats," said Curt Staker, president of Websense, Inc. "In addition to our web filtering and security capabilities, Websense software is highly scalable which makes it an ideal integration for Infonet and its multinational clients. Our software has a proven track record for seamlessly supporting large, global, multifaceted organizations."

Websense leverages a highly sophisticated database of more than 80 website categories, enabling organizations to set patented flexible filtering options such as time-based quotas, in which organizations set time limits for employee access to non-business-related websites such as banking and shopping.
