New Independent Study Shows Websense Leading Competitors in Web Security

TRITON AP-WEB detects and defeats more threats across all categories by wide margin

East Windsor, New Jersey, April 21, 2015 – Detecting and blocking nearly twice as many threats as the nearest competitor, Websense TRITON AP-WEB scored highest in a active threat malicious URL performance comparison against seven competing web security products, according to premier independent test lab Miercom.  Results published in Miercom’s ‘2015 Secure Web Gateway Industry Study,’ found that Websense TRITON AP-WEB demonstrated the highest overall threat protection in active threat malcious URLs with a blocking rate of 97 percent. The next nearest competitor finished with a detection score of less than 50 percent in Miercom’s independent assessment of real-time threat blocking capabilities.

“Miercom’s findings indicate many vendor solutions are not capturing known and unknown emerging threats, leaving their customers highly susceptible to business risks associated with data loss and theft,” said Vice President of Websense Security Labs Charles Renert. “In an increasingly connected world with data more vulnerable than ever, the challenge is finding the right level of protection and intervention against threats. Miercom’s study shows Websense is providing the highest level of protection possible for our customers, allowing them to concentrate on growing business rather than on being exposed.”

“The results following our comprehensive review show that the Websense TRITON AP-WEB distinguishes itself as a premier data security solution,” said Robert Smithers, CEO of Miercom. “TRITON AP-WEB excelled in all active threat Malicious URL tests which applied a full spectrum of lethal current web-borne threats and exploits, identifying and prevented for even those for which signatures did not yet exist.”

Key Findings

TRITON AP-WEB achieved:

• An overall blocking rate of 97.4%, intercepting 156.462 of 160, 639 total threats in nine categories (Malicious Lures, Phishing, Malicious Embedded iFrame, Evasive Malware, Bot Networks, Exploits, Spyware, Malicious Redirection, Non-Binary Obfuscated Threats)
• The highest blocking rate in all categories examined
• A blocking rate of more than 95% in each category
