"We're delighted that Websense has been recognized by Info-Tech as a Champion in Data Loss Prevention and are privileged to be an active partner in helping secure our customers' most valuable assets against cyber data theft and loss."

• Simple deployment allows for Websense Data Loss Prevention (DLP) security and the TRITON® management solution to be up and running quickly.
• Context-aware, data feeds for the DLP solution through web and email gateway integration as part of the TRITON platform.
• Endpoint DLP agents for Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X and Linux platforms.
• Advanced protection methods such as Drip DLP (detection of low and slow data leaks), OCR of text within images, password file theft, custom encryption detection and geo-location awareness provide advanced behavioral and heuristic detection. 

The report also recognized the investment that Websense has made in identifying and protecting sensitive data stored in cloud based enterprise collaboration services such as Microsoft Office 365 and Box.
