‘DLP for Download’ Enters the Channel
Websense makes its data loss protection suite available online with free 30-day evaluation license. Company aims to increase adoption by reducing implementation barriers.
Websense, innovator of unified Web, data, and email solutions, has† rolled out a downloadable data loss prevention solution. Dubbed “DLP for Download,” the solution is aimed at reducing deployment obstacles for VARs and SMBs.
According to Websense, DLP solutions have not been broadly adopted thus far because “they have been extremely difficult to install.”
“These traditional first-generation solutions take months and hundreds of hours to deploy,” says Websense in a statement to EH Publishing. “Websense changes all of that with DLP for Download, which provides industry-leading, enterprise-class protection that can be downloaded and installed in just 30 minutes.”
Indeed, Websense’s downloadable data security suite enables customers to download and evaluate the Websense DLP solution for free for 30 days. It installs in approximately 30 minutes. It can then be purchased and used for production deployment with a change only in subscription key.
“Through DLP for Download, Websense is … lowering the barriers and costs traditionally associated with deploying the best modern security against today’s threats,” says Websense president John McCormack.”
“Websense DLP for Download makes data loss prevention available without a massive investment in time, resources, and cost,” Websense says. “And without the overhead of high integration and deployment costs. And without the burden of ongoing maintenance.”
Included with the download is a step-by-step guide to getting started as well as video tutorials illustrating the installation, configuration and policy definitions. Built-in deployment wizards guide administrators through setup and configuration, and a policy-design wizard delivers point-and-click policy controls for compliance and protection of sensitive data.
Once installed, with more than 1,100 policies and built-in templates, accessible through a wizard, customers can easily define new policies or leverage existing templates. The templates can also be filtered based on industries and geographical regions with granular filtering capabilities beyond what is currently on the market today.
In addition to making standalone DLP deployable in minutes through the download program, Websense says customers will be provided with the Websense TRITON architecture, enabling Websense to embed enterprise-class DLP directly within its Web Security Gateway solutions.
Organizations interested in DLP for Download can receive an evaluation license via the Websense site.
