What is Web security?

The fast-moving Web calls for fast-paced security.

Almost 2 billion people set a frantic pace on the Web every day. When your employees jump into the fray to search, post, and click, they carry your company data with them. Static security solutions just can't keep up with the pace, your employees, or your data. You need 24/7 protection in real time.

(you can change your mind later).

For full protection against today's (and tomorrow's) threats, choose a Web security gateway. These products offer the most comprehensive Web solution available, with real-time content monitoring so it's safe for your employees to click links in email, recruit new staff through LinkedIn, conduct research using Google, and more.

Core protection

Move up to true Web security. These solutions build on Web filtering with control for more than 125 network protocols and thousands of applications. But you won't have protection from today's ever-increasing blended threats that combine Web, email, and data attacks.

Just the basics

At the very least, you need Web filtering to prevent or limit access to unproductive or malicious sites. But you'll still be vulnerable to threats from social networking, Web mail, and Web apps.

What is email security?

Email can lead to all kinds of trouble.

Nearly 1.5 billion email users send 247 billion messages a day, almost 3 million messages a second. And 80% of those messages are spam, often containing links that lead to poison websites. The other 20% carry dangers, too, such as infected files and invasive scripts.

What is data security?

If you don't safeguard data, it'll cost you.

Security breaches occur all the time – most companies experience a breach at least once a week. And a single breach can easily cost $1 million or more in remediation. These days, you simply can't afford to be without data security.

Malicious Facebook Password Spam

Date:10.26.2009

Threat Type: Malicious Web Site / Malicious Code

Websense® Security Labs™ ThreatSeeker™ Network has discovered a new wave of malicious email attacks claiming to be a password reset confirmation from Facebook. The From: address on the messages is spoofed using support@facebook.com to make the messages believable to recipients. The messages contain a .zip file attachment with an .exe file inside (SHA1: d01c02b331f47481a9ffd5e8ec28c96b7c67a8c6). The .exe file currently has a detection rate of about 30 percent on VirusTotal. Our ThreatSeeker™ Network has seen up to 90,000 of these messages sent out so far today.

The malicious exe file connects to two servers to download additional malicious files and joins the Bredolab botnet which means the attackers have full control of the PC, such as steal customer information, send spam emails. One of the servers is in the Netherlands and the other one in Kazakhstan.
