HONEYGRID!! sweet is it not?

Websense is using grid computing technology to speed detection of internet security threats.

The company has launched a global network of adaptive security technologies and processes to monitor the internet for changes and emerging threats. The results are then incorporated into the company's Web security, messaging security and data loss prevention solutions.

The HONEYGRID uses the honeypot and advanced grid computing technology to parse through more than one billion pieces of content daily, searching for security threats.

 

The system uses more than 50 million real-time data collection systems worldwide to monitor and to classify Web, messaging and data content, which the company claims allows it to adapt to emerging threats faster than traditional security and Web filtering solutions.

 

This new application is targeted on the WEB 2.0 application.

The internet is a critical tool we use to conduct business every day," stated Beth Cannon, chief security officer at Thomas Weisel Partners. "But with the rise in Web 2.0 sites, as well as Web applications and widgets that could potentially be used by employees, we need to ensure what our employees view and the applications they use are safe and secure."
