CLIENT REQUIREMENTS
As part of its responsibility to efficiently manage a network of interconnected server farms, databases, centralized applications and telecommunications infrastructure, IT staff at the Orascom Telecom must protect their computer systems from external and internal security risks.

OUR RESPONSES
Orascom Telecom chose to implement Websense Web Security over other evaluated security products due to its simplified user interface, detailed database repository and ability to filter by Web content, URLs, online protocols, and productivity groups. Currently running Websense Web Security in their computer environment, Orascom Telecom has been able to keep their users Web indiscretion to a bare minimum. If any user member accesses a restricted site, Orascom telecom IT staff are immediately alerted. Further, easy-to-read reports are regularly produced that detail Web traffic logs and highlight any items flagged for suspicious activity.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Their IT staff recalled how a Websense Web Security report enabled the system to quickly solve a mysterious problem which dramatically slowed network performance by 80 percent one spring. The report showed the slowdown was caused by users accessing live streaming video from a single Web site; they blocked access to the site and network bandwidth returned to normal levels. Websense Web Security version 7 features a redesigned user interface with dashboards to improve reporting, relay data to other business departments, and take action based upon events which have taken place. “They was happy with the new dashboard right out of the box, It’s nice to be able to fire up the Websense dashboard and quickly glance at which services are down, what’s working, or whether there’s a huge spike in traffic, and to be able to see that very, very quickly.”
