The winners of the 2008 Reader's Choice Awards, which appear in the November issue of Redmond Magazine, are presented to vendors in more than 40 different categories of information technology products, ranging from security to network management.

The publication notes, "There's no stopping Websense Enterprise [now called Websense Web Filter], which stormed to a Triple Crown by a large margin over the two products that trailed it."

In September, Websense unveiled Websense Web Filter version 7, the newest version of its industry-leading Web security and Web filtering solutions. New enhancements include a new Web-based graphical user interface with drill-down reporting that gives administrators unprecedented visibility and control over their networks and policy enforcement. Current Websense Web Filter and Web Security customers can upgrade to version 7 for free.

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 immediately incorporated into the company's Web, data and email security solutions.
