About Websense
Websense is a San Diego, California-based company which produces web filtering software, also known as Internet content-control software of the same name. The blockage created by this software has led to the creation of the word "websensed". The company also provides customers with Information Leak Prevention software, technology the company acquired in January 2007 from PortAuthority Technologies. While it is aimed at businesses and other large entities (such as governments, for their employees), it also sees use in libraries and schools. It has come under criticism from civil liberties groups on grounds that it restricts the free flow of speech.[http://peacefire.org/censorware/WebSENSE/] The company was founded by Phil Trubey in 1994.[http://www.sdmitforum.org/Events/showbio.cfm?pre_id=10] Its tagline is "Securing Productivity," reflecting one of the three main concerns prompting installation of its filtering software: (1) legal liability, (2) bandwidth, and (3) productivity.."
