Websense Protocol Categories

With more than 100 protocols in 15 categories the Websense Master database is the industry's most accurate, current and comprehensive classification of protocols. Websense utilizes a combination of proprietary classification software and human inspection techniques to categorize and maintain protocol definitions to ensure real-time protection against today's blended threats. This enables organizations to set policies for protocols including: IM, P2P, Proxy Avoidance and Streaming Media.
