2 The Problems With Web Surfing
Bandwidth Consumption 18% downloaded media (Source: Websense 2006 Survey) Productivity Loss Studies show employees spend over 10 hours per week surfing non-business related websites (Source: Websense 2006 Survey) Legal Liability More than 12% of web traffic visit pornography and other offensive sites (Source: Websense 2006 Survey) Security Risk More than 75% of all organizations are infected with spyware (Source: IDC’s Enterprise Security Survey, 2005) Internet use continues to increase at a dramatic rate. And with that, the potential for problems with internet use in the workplace: With all of the bandwidth-rich content available, has become easy for end users to consume bandwidth without even realizing it… In a recent Websense survey, 18 percent of employees admitted to downloading and storing non-work-related mp3s, personal photos, video clips, or movie clips on their work computer or network. Non-business use of the internet is rampant. Websense found that the average time employees are spending per week accessing the internet at work is 10.2 hours. Or over 25% of a typical work-week. The internet can cause legal issues as well. Consider that twelve percent of employees have either by accident or on purpose, visited a pornography website while at work and twelve percent of employees said that they have had a co-worker, friend, or acquaintance send a link to their work address that they considered offensive. Finally, the internet poses security risk. Survey results indicate that 84% of organizations have implemented anti-spyware solutions and yet, IDC believes more than three-quarters of all corporate machines are infected with various forms of spyware.

3 Improve Your Network Bandwidth Utilization
Prioritize network activities Ensures sensitive information is always available Manage access to bandwidth-intensive websites Internet TV and Radio, Streaming Media Manage access to bandwidth-intensive protocols Ex. P2P file sharing, Skype Let’s take a look now at how Websense solves these problems. First, it helps improve bandwidth utilization by prioritizing network activities by business criticality. For example, if you are having a critical Videoconference at noon and you don’t want any chance of interference because of low bandwidth availability, then you can restrict other network activities such as Streaming Media use when the available bandwidth exceeds a certain threshold 50%, 70%, or whatever you define. Websense web filtering can also help you manage access to bandwidth intensive web sites such as download sites. Also, the web filtering adds an additional dimension in allowing easy management of protocols. Network traffic such as P2P file sharing and Skype can be easily filtered simple by selecting ‘Block’ on the intuitive GUI.

4 More Productive Computing Environment
Make your policies specific Over 90 URL categories Over 80 protocols Use flexible enforcement Allow Block Continue Quota Block by Bandwidth, File Type, Time of Day Right people receive the right policy Policies by user or group Employees often visit non-business related sites intentionally or unintentionally. To ensure that their web use is in accordance with your organization’s values and policies, Websense provides a very flexible and easy to use solution. You can make your policies very specific. With over 90 URL categories and over 60 protocol categories it is easy to ensure that only the websites that you wish you manage are selected. You have flexible enforcement options. With many different enforcement options, you can select one that works best for your organization. For example, you may wish to restrict shopping sites to 30 minutes per day between 9am-5pm but make them available at all other times. This can be easily done with Websense. Make sure that the right people have the right policy. Your marketing department may have different website viewing needs then your HR department. The ability to define policies by user or group allows this to happen.

5 Proactively Manage Legal Liability Risks
Reduce your organization’s legal liability exposure: Manage access to inappropriate sites, as deemed by corporate policy (E.G. Porn, Music Downloads, etc) Manage access to IM and P2P, frequent sources of inappropriate file and information sharing Inappropriate internet use can also lead to legal problems. In particular pornography, hate websites, and illegal music downloads have been known to cause legal troubles for companies around the world. To help prevent an undesirable situation, Websense makes it easy to monitor and enforce activity that can be considered legal liability.

6 Protection from Web-Based Threats
Stop web-based threats before they infect your organization’s endpoints: Security Filtering will block access to websites with web-based threats including: Spyware Keyloggers Phishing Malicious Code Bot websites Potentially Unwanted Software There are many known sources of web based threats out there today. Websense effectively manages access to websites that are infected with malicious threat including spyware, keyloggers, phishing, malicious code, bot website, and website that contain potentially unwanted software. By blocking access to these websites before a threat ever reaches your desktop, the web filtering provides a proactive security measure. This differs from traditional solutions such as antivirus software, that requires your system to become infected before it is identified cleaned and removed. With Websense’s patent-pending technology called ThreatSeeker that helps mine the internet and discover malicous threats, Websense is continually the first to detect and protect against web-based threats. The basic filtering for security URLs is available as an additional feature to Websense Enterprise called Security Filtering. It is also included in Websense Web Security Suite. A proactive approach to web security

10 The Traditional Approach to Security
Signature- Based Behavior-Based Advantages Definitive action once signature is available No specialized skill set required for ongoing management Drawbacks Reactive – relies on incidents within customer base Slow – requires post-facto reverse engineering and signature updates Advantages Fast – instant reaction to known behaviors Drawbacks Requires specialized skill set for tuning and ongoing management Educated guesswork – prone to false positives Traditional Security generally takes one of two paths to mitigate threats: 1) Signature based. Anti-Virus Definitive Action: Once a signature is available – this takes time and requires that customers get infected Ease of Management: Doesn’t require a lot of administrative overhead Reactive not proactive: they are effective only against very specific or known threats Slow to react: provide even this limited protection only after an attack has already occurred. **Side on Firewalls Detect but can’t monitor: Firewalls have no means of monitoring the specific information being transferred. 2) Behavior based. IDS/IPS Fast: Instant reaction to known behaviors Administration Required: Specialized skill needed for tuning, management Overblocking: because they are behavior based they are prone to false positives New challenges make the traditional security approaches even weaker: The network perimeter is rapidly disappearing: -- abundance of laptops, home networks, hotspots, wireless -- gateway security solutions are becoming ineffective Complex malicious code threatens the IT infrastructure: -- Gateway firewalls, IDS/IPS, and antivirus software alone cannot protect against these threats Organizations need a solution that complements firewalls and antivirus solutions with content-level protection. The Websense solution complements traditional Firewall/IDS and AV security.

11 Traditional Solutions vs. Today’s Web Security Threats
Outbreak Outbreak More sophisticated IRC bot ICMP Trojan horses Reverse engineering Patch released Patch deployed Cost TIME TIME Today’s Threat -- Strikes quickly -- Complex—difficult to reverse engineer -- Costly: Averages $740,000/yr/US business Example: February 2°, 2007: Super Bowl spoiler Official Web site of Miami’s Dolphin Stadium has been compromised with malicious code. Websense ThreatSeeker technology discovered a link to a malicious file in the header of the site’s front page. Visitors to the site automatically execute the file’s script, which attempts to exploit two known Microsoft® vulnerabilities. Both vulnerability exploits attempt to download and execute a malicious file providing the attacker with full access to the compromised computer. Websense Web Security Suite customers were protected due to ThreatSeeker real-time security updates. Traditional Solutions can’t keep up -- Reacting to threat -- Then, need to reverse engineer -- Takes time to deploy patch -- Can take days, even weeks before a solution is put into place In 2006, e-crime cost an average U.S. business a staggering $740,000 a year.

19 MySpace.com Phishing Attack (6/1/06)
Websense® Security Labs™ has discovered a phishing attack that attempts to steal the account information of MySpace.com users. A hyperlink is first delivered to victims via AOL Instant Messenger. Users who follow this link are taken to a fraudulent website that spoofs the MySpace.com login page. This page captures their MySpace account information and then forwards the user to the actual MySpace.com website. The fraudulent site also sets a cookie on the victim's computer, which prevents the phishing attack from being displayed on any subsequent visits. The phishing site is located in California and was up at the time of this alert. Sample screenshot:

27 Protect Anytime, Anywhere
Websense Remote Filtering applies the same protection when your users are outside of your organization’s network: Corporate Remote User DMZ Remote Filtering Server Remote Filtering Agent Reporting Tools Websense Internet B B Websense Remote Filtering allows organizations to apply the same internet use policies outside the network as they do inside the network. Here is how it works: The remote user’s internet request is sent through the Remote Filtering server at corporate to the Websense policy server. The request is checked against the user’s policy and access to the site is either allowed or denied. In this case, since the user was trying to go to a site known to contain spyware, the request was denied. Firewall (spywaresite).com B = Block
