Key Features
- Bandwidth Optimizer™
Set real-time thresholds on network applications to limit
non-work-related bandwidth consumption and save valuable
network resources for business critical applications.
- Dynamic Protocol Management
Manage employee access to network protocols - updated daily
via automatic database downloads - such as instant messaging,
peer-to-peer file sharing, streaming media and those that
tunnel over port 80.
- File Type Management
Minimize Web site file downloads to enhance security and
manage bandwidth consumption. Standardized file classifications
or custom restrictions can be implemented. Pre-defined entries
by Websense are regularly updated to ensure accuracy and
minimize administration.
- Multiple "Yes" Lists
Enable permission-based access to specific sites by user
or department (e.g., Shipping only has access to UPS and
FedEx sites). Create as many lists as needed.
- Time-based Quotas
Balance work-related and personal surfing without burdening
IT. Time-based quotas allow employees to access non-work-related
sites for limited, but appropriate amounts of time.
- Continue/Defer
Allow users to choose to "continue" surfing blocked
sites they deem work-related or "defer" personal
surfing to non-work hours. Deferred sites are bookmarked
automatically for employees at AfterWork.com, a free site
hosted and maintained by Websense.
- Time of Day
Set filtering options by time of day, allowing personal
surfing during non-work hours.
- Complete User/Group Support
Customize access policies based on users and groups as defined
in Windows NT 4, Windows 2000 Active Directory, and LDAP-accessible
directory services (iPlanet and Novell Directory Services).
Logs and reports include user and group names for easy analysis.
- URL Keyword Filtering
As an extra safety net, block sites whose URLs contain specific
words such as "sex" and "porn".
