Websense, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN) today announced Everything Channel's CRN
awarded the "CRN Test Center Recommended" designation to the Websense "in
the cloud" email security service, Websense Hosted Email Security. The
review touts the email security solution's industry-leading service level
agreements, as well as its ease of use, flexible configuration and
intelligent reporting capabilities.

    "Websense offers VARs not only a robust managed security solution, but an
attractive newly revamped partner program," wrote CRN Test Center's

Throughout the review Lynn notes several key features within Websense
Hosted Email Security such as granular control and highly configurable
email policies which Lynn said were "really easy to set up." Native
reporting, message center and audit trail also made Lynn's short list.

    With Websense Hosted Email Security, customers are ensured leading
protection from converged email and Web threats. The hosted security model
provides reduced costs and complexity while allowing businesses to retain
control and eliminate uncertainty through 99 percent spam detection and
