Websense has launched a new solution, Websense Express for SMB organisations, as well as new resources tailored for customers and the channel partners who advise them.

Websense’s move to secure SMB organisations is part of a corporate strategy to provide its enterprise-class Web security and content filtering solutions to previously underserved organisations.

“SMB organisations face the same operational and security challenges as larger enterprises, but they have fewer resources at their disposal,” said Geoff Haggart, senior vice president EMEA & APAC, Websense.  “Websense is bringing these customers intelligent Internet protection available exclusively through their trusted channel partners and distributors.  With this new software, Websense is protecting SMB customers from data loss caused by Web-based security threats and business-draining activities caused by unfettered Internet access. Availability in multiple languages, new channel enablement and training programmes and enhanced customer experience through a new support portal will all drive the global appeal of the Websense Express solution.”
