Transport Company Achieves 40 Percent IT Cost Reduction by Moving to Websense Cloud-Based Email Security

SAN DIEGO, CA, Jul 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
Websense, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN) today announced that Atac S.p.A., a
regional transport organization based in Rome -- has selected
award-winning Websense Hosted Email Security to protect its 3,000
employees from blended threats and spam and increase system uptime --
while reducing IT expenses by 40 percent.

Atac also uses Websense Web Security to protect its network from
emerging Web threats and to manage Web usage to reduce risk and comply
with regulatory requirements.

"Blended attacks were an issue for us as we had noticed that a very high
proportion of our unwanted emails contained embedded URLs," said Giorgio
Sgarbazzini, CIO, Atac S.p.A. "We're impressed by the real-time threat
protection of the Websense ThreatSeeker(TM) Network that powers the
Websense Web Security solution and wanted the same protection and
intelligence for our email security."

Websense Hosted Email Security was evaluated and selected over other
managed security solutions for several reasons including: superior
protection from emerging Internet threats, the ability to stop spam and
threats in-the-cloud before reaching the network, as well as guaranteed
service-level agreements that competitive solutions couldn't match.

"Managing our email security was a serious concern within the company,"
added Sgarbazzini. "Our previous on-premise solution was constantly
failing and our IT resources were limited to regular business hours.
Users did not appreciate being woken up in the middle of the night from
the buzz of their BlackBerries as spam landed in their inboxes. Once we
moved to Websense Hosted Email Security however, spam disappeared and we
now have continuous system uptime. Our users are happy and we've saved
money -- the results are really incredible."

"The guaranteed service level of 99.999 percent exceeded our expectations
and couldn't be matched by any of the competitive solutions we evaluated,"
says Sgarbazzini. "This was in addition to 100 percent protection from
known viruses and 99 percent spam detection. Websense was by far the best
solution for our needs."

Websense Hosted Email Security eliminates spam and malware before they
reach the network. The hosted deployment model provides centralized
security with built-in redundancy, failover and business continuity while
easing administration and optimizing network operating capacity planning
costs. Guaranteed by industry-leading service level agreements, Websense
Hosted Email Security reduces business costs, eliminates the complexity of
managing email threats and provides the highest possible degree of
protection.

All Websense solutions are powered by the Websense ThreatSeeker(TM)
Network which continuously monitors the Internet for changes and emerging
threats. The resulting intelligence is incorporated in real-time into the
company's Web, data and email security solutions. As a result, Websense
solutions adapt to the rapidly changing Internet threat environment at
speeds not possible by traditional security solutions.
