Changing the way companies think about employee Internet management

Reporting, Websense Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN) today
announces the launch of Websense ExplorerTM. Unique to the EIM market, the new Web-based, interactive reporting tool enables managers to click through employee Internet use information in order to analyse trends and identify Internet risks such as hacking, Spyware and Web-based storage applications. This enables a company to modify its Internet use policy quickly and easily, based on up-to-the-minute Internet use.

Designed for both IT and non-IT managers, such as human resource professionals, Websense Explorer provides companies with details of specific Internet trends and risks without requiring IT administrators to run batched reports. Managers can instantaneously access key Internet
usage data while using the same tool to uncover security risks or high bandwidth usage.

Websense Explorer's user-friendly functionality also enables managers to run instant statistical analysis to identify the widest variance of Internet usage within their company. Because Websense Explorer is both
Web-based and interactive, it presents summary information as Web activity occurs, providing immediate access to Internet usage data for
quick and easy Internet use policy modification. For example, if a report indicates that a large amount of bandwidth is being used for streaming media, a company can block individual users or groups from accessing specific streaming media Web sites until more bandwidth is available.

Websense Explorer is the first-of-its kind; an interactive EIM reporting tool that allows users to literally 'click-through' company, department or employee Internet use information, said Geoff Haggart, vice president of EMEA at Websense. The simplicity of this process
extends to non-IT users who will benefit from instant Internet usage analysis through drill down functionality. Even someone not familiar with using analytical tools can reveal trends and identify risks quickly and easily with Websense Explorer.

Unlike competing reporting tools, Websense Explorer is not limited to pre-defined views of information, which means users can now drill down through data to find more information about specific Web usage patterns within their organisation. Access to Websense Explorer is password protected, ensuring employee privacy is protected and that only those with authority are allowed to view the information.

Available at no additional cost to customers with Websense Enterprise v4.4 and v5 subscriptions, Websense Explorer is also available to all prospective customers as part of the Websense v5 30-day evaluation.
