Websense-Security Labs Finds Threats First

09.12.06

Websense was the first to discover and report on many new threats including:

  • Microsoft Security Bulletin Scam
  • Google Pages Hosting Crimeware
  • Websites exploiting Windows vulnerability in .WMF image files to distribute spyware

In independent third party tests*, Websense was proven to be as much as ten times more effective in preventing spyware and malware compared to SurfControl, Secure Computing and Blue Coat. When you consider that in a 1000 user organization with just a 5% spyware infection rate, the cost could be $83,000 a year for an organization.
* Independent third party tests by Lionbridge Veritest and PC Test
