WebSense Buys Defensio

Posted by Kara Reeder Jan 28, 2009 12:26:10 PM

WebSense is going to clean out spam and malware on blogs, user forums and social-networking sites, thanks to its purchase of social media anti-spam firm Defensio.

 

According to vnunet.com, WebSense will use the acquisition to bolster its ThreatSeeker Network product. It also plans to improve Defensio's Web services to allow third-party Web 2.0 developers to embed Websense content classification technology into their apps.

 

WebSense reported a fourth quarter increase in revenue, reports CNNMoney.com, but expects modest declines in revenue in the first half of the year, with growth resuming in the second half of the year.
