Websense launches the first network security "honeypot" technology to identify Web2.0 content and help companies achieve critical data protection
The system can scan billions of web content daily, providing excellent visibility into Internet applications and environmental threats
According to news on April 30, Websense recently announced the launch of a global Internet adaptive security technology to monitor Internet changes and sudden threats in real time. This intelligent achievement will be quickly integrated into Websense's series of solutions for web security, email security and data security protection. In this way, enterprises can actively promote their business development while managing key data, systems and employees through efficient and safe use of the Internet platform.
The new Websense ThreatSeeker network technology is considered to be the industry’s first Internet "honeypot" technology. The system that integrates honeypot technology and advanced grid computing technology can parse more than 1 billion website content every day to search the Internet. Security threats. This new system uses more than 50 million data collection systems around the world to monitor and classify Web, email, and data, giving Websense unparalleled insight into Internet content.
Using this Internet intelligence technology, Websense security products can adapt to the threats and hidden dangers brought by the rapidly changing Internet, and these threats and hidden dangers cannot be used by Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro and Secure Computing, which specializes in providing web filtering solutions. , BlueCoat and other similar manufacturers effectively solve the problem.
According to recent IDC research, more than two-thirds of enterprises are using one or more Web 2.0 applications, but it is very dangerous to use these new technologies without taking security measures. In IDC's January 2008 investigation report, Chris Christiansen, vice president of projects, pointed out: "Web 2.0 and business 2.0 applications and communication will become the main source of identity fraud, personal privacy violations and corporate data loss."
Beth Cannon, Chief Security Officer of Thomas Weisel Partners, believes: "The Internet is one of the important tools we use for business development every day, but with the rapid development of Web 2.0, Web applications and various components may be For our employees, we must ensure that what these employees browse and the web applications they are doing are safe and secure." He added: "As a financial institution, we have worked hard to formulate strict rules and regulations and are committed to To ensure that our property ownership and customer information and data are safe and free from any threats. Websense ensures that our employees will not log on to malicious websites or introduce data-stealing malware."
The arrival of the employee 2.0 era
Driven by real-time communication and collaboration, traditional desktop applications have been gradually abandoned, and support for Web2.0 applications is growing rapidly. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, enterprise employees are introducing dynamic Web 2.0 content, Web-based applications and components provided by unknown persons into the internal IT environment of the enterprise.
These emerging technologies also include Web applications on servers, including Google’s recently launched technology that allows employees to share corporate data in real time without requiring permission from the company’s traditional security protection measures. In the past, security solutions were able to prevent these threats by blocking or closing conversations, but today, this approach does not work. If an enterprise wants to develop and grow in the current Internet age, it must fully understand the content and make timely adjustments in the process of data acquisition or transmission.
Introduction to Websense's new ThreatSeeker network technology
Websense's ThreatSeeker network technology is different from the current security monitoring and classification technology in the market. It provides a solution that can replace signature-based anti-virus systems and expensive anti-intrusion systems. Incorporating the ThreatSeeker technology launched by Websense in 2006 and the related research and development technologies of SurfControl and PortAuthority purchased later, the new ThreatSeeker network technology has more than 50 million data collection systems around the world, monitoring and analyzing billions of web content every day, including All kinds of malware, websites, web applications, emails, and structured or unstructured data, etc. The ThreatSeeker network technology Websense's Web, mail and data security products provide intelligent Internet technology to provide customers with the most reliable security protection.
The new ThreatSeeker network technology has the following functions:
The R&D team is led by the top experts in the security industry, and is composed of more than 100 outstanding R&D personnel from Websense security laboratories around the world.
Effective use of binary, heuristic vocabulary statistical analysis, image recognition, mechanical learning, pattern detection, natural language processing and data fingerprinting are used to implement content classification technology and data recognition technology.
The content of more than 100 million websites is collected and analyzed every day.
More than 50 million real-time data collection systems are used every day, and 1 billion pieces of content are analyzed.
Through the Websense host security data collection service, more than 100 million e-mails and 50 million websites can be classified into a full range of content every day.
More than 10 million emails can be scanned per hour to detect unpopular or malicious programs.
Using honeypots and Spamtraps, it can effectively block spam, phishing or applications in more than 10 million emails and web-based attacks every day
More than 2 million domains, networks, IPs, and server hosts can be assigned reputation every hour.
Li Jianyu, President of Websense Asia Pacific, pointed out: “Websense is the first company to protect customers from Web security threats through classification technology. It is also the first company to combine Web intelligence with a full understanding of user data to effectively protect confidential data. The leaked company."
He also pointed out: "Nowadays, more and more attacks are aimed at the theft of enterprise core data. ThreatSeeker network technology further validates Websense's commitment to customer product investment protection. With the help of the most advanced technology and research on security issues, To resolve the threats brought by adaptive attacks to enterprises. Many security solution providers and merchant-driven filtering solution vendors lack security experts who really conduct research on Web2.0, but the Websense ThreatSeeker network technology is the first and also The only system that enables users to fully, safely and securely use powerful Web2.0 applications."
Today, users of Websense's Web, letter and data security products will benefit from this intelligent ThreatSeeker network technology. In the second half of 2008, Websense plans to launch the next generation of Web and data protection products that incorporate the industry's most advanced real-time classification technology, and apply intelligent data control or shutdown.
