leading supplier of access routers, and Websense,

threats.
The Websense Web Security Suite is an award-winning internet filtering
and web security solution that protects users from existing and emerging
Web-based threats including spyware, crimeware, phishing and pharming

spyware and keylogger backchannel communications from ever reaching host
servers. The Websense Web Security Suite also provides real-time internet
security database updates for immediate protection from new security
threats as they emerge.
"The ability to utilize the Websense Web Security Suite with our
NetVanta routers provides our customers with an added level of internet
filtering and web security. This is especially important in today's
environment when new threats emerge almost daily," said Tim Saunders,
vice president of product management, ADTRAN Enterprise Networks
Division. "We chose to partner with Websense because they are the leader
in web security and content filtering. Integration with their security
products complements and enhances the features offered in our NetVanta
platforms."
Using a NetVanta router in combination with Websense Web Security
Suite allows organizations to manage employee internet access and enforce
internet usage policies, including management of web site and protocol
categories such as spyware, peer-to-peer networks, instant messaging, and
streaming media. The result is increased web security for an organization
and improved employee productivity.
"We are pleased to team with ADTRAN, to enable Websense integration
with its NetVanta routers. Websense and ADTRAN see this as an opportunity
to bring together two great channels that will provide small and mid-size
corporate customers, as well as remote and branch offices, with a
