Websense® blueSKY™ Security Gateway
The Convenience of an appliance meets the power of the cloud. Traditional defenses and signatures are less and less effective as zeroday attacks, exploits, customised lures and dynamic content evade detection. However, their affordability and ease of use encourage their deployment at the expense of security. Websense® blueSKY™ Security Gateway changes the game for web security. It’s a cloud-intelligent appliance that’s easy to deploy and manage, featuring real-time, ondemand defenses from the cloud.
Why Websense? blueSKY Security Gateway combines the best of both worlds by offering an in-line, easy-to-deploy appliance with real-time cloud defences for companies with up to 250 employees. blueSKY Security Gateway uses the same technologies relied upon by many leading global companies to secure their networks against web-based threats in real-time: Websense ACE (Advanced Classification Engine) for effective defence against unknown threats, and Websense ThreatSeeker® Intelligence Cloud for global threat awareness.
Industry-Leading, Real-Time Web Security •
blueSKY Security Gateway is powered by ACE, which provides real-time protection by using seven defence assessment areas with over 10,000 analytics.
•
ACE analytics are derived from the ThreatSeeker Intelligence Cloud, which unites more than 900 million endpoints and analyses 3-5 billion web requests per day for global threat awareness.

DATASHEET
The Websense difference: ACE (Advanced Classification Engine) ACE provides real-time, inline, contextual defenses for web security by using composite risk scoring and predictive analytics to deliver the most effective security available. It provides containment by analysing inbound and outbound traffic with data-aware defenses for data theft protection. Classifiers for real-time security, data and content analysis — the result of years of research and development — enable ACE to detect more threats than traditional anti-virus engines every day (the proof is updated daily at securitylabs.websense.com). ACE is the primary defence behind all Websense solutions, and is supported by the Websense ThreatSeeker® Intelligence Cloud, which collects data from more than 900 million endpoints and analyses 3–5 billion web requests every day.
• blueSKY Security Gateway uses ACE defences and analytics to detect threats in real time.
