While email security continues to be important, it is clearly not enough in today's environment. Sophisticated blended email-Web attacks are using social engineering techniques to entice users to compromised Web sites, and Web 2.0 properties, with their unmanaged user-generated content, have opened the door even wider for attackers. The cost of the resulting data loss can be significant, with the average cost of each lost record totaling more than $5M.

Websense is the leading innovator in Web security, and the industry has taken note. IDC recently released its latest Web security market share estimates, which confirm Websense is the global market leader with more than 25 of the worldwide Web security software market. Gartner, which defines the market slightly differently, pegs the company's market share at 34 percent. A third market research firm, Frost and Sullivan, predicts that "Websense will be the 'go-to' computer security company for corporations which are seeking solutions to protect both their networks and their data."

Other influential firms have also confirmed Websense leadership:

• Gartner says that Websense is the leader in the secure Web gateway market with 34 percent market share.[1]
• Infonetics Research recently reported that “Websense, which acquired SurfControl in 2007, leads the worldwide content security gateway software market, as well as the overall content security gateway market.”[2]
• Radicati Group, Inc. named Websense the top player in the corporate Web security market.[3]
