The Websense Wireless Content Filtering solution provides a carrier-class, flexible solution enabling mobile service providers to provide best-in-class content filtering for their customers. Websense Wireless solutions are marketed and deployed through our network of partners, and provide best in class technology to the world's leading solution providers in the operators' networks.

The Websense Wireless solution leverages the proven Websense web filtering and web security technologies to increase subscriber ARPU, improve the subscriber experience, address compliance requirements, as well as mitigate mobile security threats.

  • Comply with laws and regulations (and in some cases cultural requirements) regarding filtering specific categories of internet content (e.g. pornography)
  • Implement safeguards to help prevent children from being exposed to inappropriate or illegal content.
  • Enhance ARPU by offering access to premium categories of internet content, and throttling bandwidth intensive applications which do not generate revenue (e.g. Skype).
  • Safeguard subscribers and networks from malicious mobile code including spyware, phishing sites, bot servers, etc, on an optional real time basis.
  • Set and enforce granular policies for web content based on subscriber profile.
  • Ensure scalability and reliability with carrier-class policy and database engines.
  • Native support for WAP/WML.
  • Handheld internet access is vulnerable to the same issues as PC-based web surfing-unfettered access to adult websites and web-borne security threats.
  • Access to undesirable content on the web is of paramount concern to parents buying next-generation phones for their children.
  • Mobile handsets are also security targets, with more than 150 viruses reported in less than two years.
  • There is also a proliferation of websites to support handheld offerings, such as ringtones, images and music files which may become vulnerable to hackers' malicious code.
