Cloud comes to Websense Triton

Websense has rebranded its year-old Triton product to include software-as-a-service features.

The solution that combined web, data and email security was enhanced to become the Websense Triton Security Gateway Anywhere. It combined Websense's web and email security gateway technology and the hybrid deployment and data-loss prevention technology into the unified content security gateway.

Websense said it consolidated on-premises email and web security on a Websense V-Series appliance with cloud components.

David Meizlik, director of product marketing for web and data security at Websense, said the new version upgrades email security.

“The best part is that it is fully expandable and you can build it up by adding a licence key and it all comes from Websense,” Meizlik said.

He said the company offered such technology for four to five years and it was built in to add a full data content security capability to ensure compliance and protect data.

“If you want to expand your DLP you can do it on a single appliance.

"We are migrating existing customers to the new appliance with new capabilities. This is a big deal for us, but our other vendors focus on the perimeter or endpoint and we are focusing on the middle on content security.”

Also included in this release is support for Websense web security on the V-Series appliance to provide web filter customers with security, consolidation and expandability to other Triton services.
