Websense mines the organizations’ websites and watches their brands and associated URLs as part of its daily activities. If a site is infected with MMC or the name and URL being used in phishing, fraudulent, or other malicious attacks, Websense notifies the organization with attack details so immediate action can be taken. Websense also performs regular web server scans for a “hacker’s-eye view” of server vulnerabilities and potential threats. Reports of risk levels and recommended actions are provided through a web-based portal, allowing organizations to take corrective action.
