Challenge:
A Federal agency recognized that they needed to improve their current web security solution to allow for better filtering of the Internet traffic coming in and going out of their network. They needed to provide for data loss protection, as well as utilize real-time analysis of malware and recognized advanced threats with the ability to perform forensic activities. They needed the solution to provide protection for local and remote users as well as support multiple campus sites. Additionally, in the end, they wanted to be able to centrally manage the system post-deployment and develop reports for Executive staff and trend analysis. Thus the solution needed to have an easy to use interface that allowed for the monitoring and management of the entire system from a single location.
Solution:
Newberry Group partnered with Websense to provide a technical solution that included multiple Websense appliances and the implementation of the Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere (WSGA) solution installed at a main campus and a satellite location. The final solution included the following:
- Scalable deployment for up to 12,000 users with high availability and automated failover and load balancing.
-
Deployment of Websense’s TruHybrid solution that protected the agency’s branch offices and remote and mobile users.
-
Provisioning through a single unified interface.
-
Deployment of Websense’s TruDLP to prevent data loss and enable compliance with agency and NIST standards and policies.
-
Real-time analysis utilizing Websense’s Advanced Classification Engine (ACE) and threat intelligence from Websense’s ThreatSeeker Intelligence Cloud.
-
An advanced threat dashboard providing actionable forensic detail on who was attacked, what data was attacked, where the data almost went, and how the attack was executed.
-
File sandboxing to protect the environment from advanced malware.
-
Training of Websense Administrators on system operation, maintenance and report generation.
Results:
Newberry enhanced the agency’s overall environment by optimizing the customers filtering and security monitoring. The agency now has the ability to:
- Identify and monitor security vulnerabilities while being supported by manufacturer recommendations, industry best practices and compliance requirements.
-
Implement security configurations for web filtering policy down to a user level.
