    SAN DIEGO, Feb. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Websense, Inc. (Nasdaq:

Award program for outstanding achievement in information technology
security. Websense(R) Web Security Suite(TM) was named the Best Web
Filtering Solution at a ceremony held in San Francisco in conjunction with
the recent RSA Conference, the world's leading information security event.
    Websense Web Security Suite was among nearly 400 entries submitted in

program are based on voting by more than 9,000 of the publication's
readers.
    "Websense is honored to receive SC Magazine's Best Web Filtering
Solution award for the second year in a row," said Leo Cole, vice president
of marketing, Websense. "This shows that IT professionals, the people who
are making critical real-life decisions on how to protect their networks
from today's Web-based threats, recognize that Websense Web Security Suite
with its ThreatSeeker(TM) technology is the best way to ensure a safe and

    Powered by patent-pending Websense ThreatSeeker technology, Websense
Web Security Suite delivers preemptive protection from Web-based security
threats -- threats typically missed or too costly to prevent using security
technologies such as antivirus and intrusion prevention systems.
ThreatSeeker technology mines and analyzes approximately 600 million Web
sites per week for malicious activity, and automatically categorizes
compromised sites as they are discovered, providing real-time protection to
Websense customers. As a result, organizations are automatically protected
from the latest threats within minutes, without massive costs and
administrative burdens.
    ThreatSeeker technology also features new Web reputation scoring
capabilities allowing ThreatSeeker to discover and classify Web sites based
on reputation scoring and suspicious characteristics. These high-risk sites
are added to a threat "watch list," so organizations can block access to
those sites, helping improve an organization's security coverage against
external Web-based threats.
