Why would you want to block or strip attachments from Instant Messages?  Well, because these attachments do not get scanned by anti-virus because Instant Messages come over Port 80.  This opens a large risk to vulnerability to viruses, trojans and worms in your network if you are allowing users in the network to use Instant Messaging.  With Websense IM Attachment Manager, you can decide which file types you want to block and which you want to allow or you can block all attachments for IM.  If you want to learn more, visit Incaption here

Can you and your users be protected from web sites that are infected with Mobile Malicous Code?  The answer is yes, with Websense Security Group Plug In, you are automatically protected from infected sites as the advanced scanning capabilities of Websense allow them to discover these sites and add them to the database of blocked or filtered sites and this protects you and your users from getting infected or viewing any of these sites.

Websense continues to show value. The internet threat landscape has evolved drastically over the past few years. Security solutions that protected you against viruses and worms five years ago, simply do not take the preemptive approach needed to combat today’s blended attacks. New threats demand new security technology, and Websense security products deliver this protection.
