Exponant going from strength to strength with Websense DLP solutions

Information technology security solutions specialist, Exponant, believes the superiority of Websense technology is behind Exponant sales outdoing expectations and performing extremely well.

Websense data security products offer corporations the ability to prevent data breaches in a comprehensive, easy to manage way, and without the complexity usually associated with (data loss prevention) DLP solutions. Coupled with the ability to enable companies wanting to safely embrace social media, Websense technology is a cost-effective and robust solution for data loss prevention.

Head of Exponant's information security division, executive manager, Wolfgang Selzer, says: “Social media and networks are driving demand for organisations to implement infrastructure that can accurately identify confidential data, where it's located, and whether or not it is secure, who is using it, and how. It can also manage and allocate the time employees are allowed to use social networks, or limit when they may have access, and give reminders about the networks being monitored.”

Websense DLP identifies confidential data traversing networks, servers, databases, laptops and other locations. Organisations can stop, encrypt or quarantine transmission of sensitive data, and audit data in non-secure locations in the same way.

“Websense DLP plays a crucial role in protecting sensitive data, as well as helping to ensure compliance with the spectrum of regulatory legislation,” emphasizes Selzer.

The Websense Data Security Suite was recently named by independent analyst firm, Info-Tech Research Group, in its report, “Select an Enterprise Data Loss Prevention Solution”, as the 'Leading Product Champion'.
