SAN DIEGO, CA, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Websense, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN) today announced that according to a new
report -- The Forrester Wave(TM): Content Security Suites, Q2 2009(1) --
Websense(R) "alone leads the content security suite market because of its
current functionality and suite-oriented product strategy."

In the report, Forrester Research Principal Analyst Chenxi Wang, Ph.D
wrote: "Websense is the Leader in content security suites. Websense has
mature products in both email and Web. Moreover, Websense's Secure Web
Gateway has broad control over many different content protocols, for which
they are either able to detect-and-block or regulate communicating
parties, attachment policies, and specific content types. Websense also
earned kudos for its integration with data security capabilities -- the
former PortAuthority technology -- which provide protocol-agnostic
policies and content classification functionality. More importantly,
Websense delivers an excellent integrated threat analysis capability
through its ThreatSeeker(TM) technology, which is behind all its content
security products."

Websense was the only company Forrester has named a leader in all three
content security categories: Web, email and data security.
Specifically, Websense was named a leader in The Forrester Wave(TM): Web
Filtering, Q2 2009(2), The Forrester Wave(TM): Email Filtering, Q2
2009(3), and The Forrester Wave(TM): Data Leak Prevention, Q2 2008(4).

"Websense is uniquely positioned to help businesses manage compliance,
productivity and liability risks while improving visibility, control and
efficiency of users, data and content-oriented protocols," said Devin
Redmond, vice president of product management. "Companies today are
looking to consolidate budget and vendors, and the Websense suite of
focused and innovative content security offerings provides a compelling
and cost-effective solution."
