Army 5th signal command picks Websense enterprise software to manage Internet use.


Websense Inc. (NASDAQ:WBSN WBSN - Websense, Inc. (stock abbreviation, AMEX)
WBSN - Work Breakdown Structure Number
) has announced that the U.S. Army 5th Signal Command, based in Mannheim, Germany, has chosen Websense Enterprise to manage Internet use of its 20,000 soldiers and civilian employees.

In an agreement signed by Websense reseller Northrop Grumman Information Technology, a provider of advanced IT solutions for government and commercial clients, the U.S. Army 5th Signal Command joins an impressive list of military organizations currently using Websense Enterprise, including divisions of the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, National Guard and Department of Defense. Public agencies continue to choose Websense Enterprise because of the software's ability to integrate with a variety of enterprise-level Internet appliances, as well as its robust Master Database comprised of more than one billion Web pages.

Opting for an extra layer of security, while also needing to limit bandwidth degradation, the U.S. Army 5th Signal Command has also subscribed to Websense Enterprise's three Premium Group categories. These categories allow customers to eliminate online ads, carefully manage streaming media Web sites and block access to sites infected with malicious mobile code (MMC) or those that harbor spyware. In fact, according to recent data from Websense, nearly half (48.6 percent) of MMC is embedded on Web sites that many companies would normally allow employees to access freely.

"Because they ultimately answer to taxpayers, military and government organizations can't afford to be apathetic ap·a·thet·ic (p-tht when it comes to choosing an effective, yet economical, EIM software solution," said Bill Goldbach, vice president of North American sales at Websense. "Time and again, we are seeing Websense Enterprise as the de facto filtering solution for many military and government organizations, due largely because the software offers agencies a means to control bandwidth given their high-traffic, demanding network environments."

Websense Inc. is a provider of employee Internet management solutions. Websense Enterprise software enables organizations to manage how employees use their computing resources, including Internet access, desktop applications and network bandwidth. This helps improve productivity and security, conserve network resources, and mitigate legal liability. Websense serves more than 18,100 customers worldwide, including many of the world's largest corporations.
