Websense intros easy data discover s/w

Websense today launched Websense Data Discover, a new software designed to help businesses automatically identify and understand confidential and sensitive data in their organizations.

Websense said it introduced Websense Data Discover to meet the burgeoning need that has emerged as a result of phenemenal growth in data.

Based on data discovery technology in the broader Websense data loss prevention suite, the new software provides organizations of all sizes an easy-to-use and affordable stand-alone data discovery tool without the additional data monitoring and enforcement capabilities of the more comprehensive Websense data loss prevention suite.

“After speaking with our customers and prospects, we enhanced the discovery capabilities in our data loss prevention suite and also delivered a stand-alone tool to give customers the freedom to choose a data discovery solution or a more complete data loss prevention suite with coverage and sophisticated workflow for data in motion, at rest and at the endpoint,” said Devin Redmond, senior director of product management, Websense.

Websense also said it has added enhanced data discovery capabilities to its Websense Data Security Suite version 6.5.
