Websense reports Surge in TRITON Cybersecurity Demand

Websense has announced record sales and revenue for 2013. This success is due to demand for its Websense TRITON security system, which is the only solution that proactively defends all channels by identifying, stopping, containing and disarming advanced persistent threats, targeted attacks and data theft.

In 2013, total Websense billings topped $380 million with Websense TRITON solutions accounting for 70 per cent. In the same year, Websense increased its Fortune 100 sales by 45 per cent over 2012. Websense TRITON solution billings increased 13 per cent to more than a quarter of a billion dollars and TRITON revenue grew 18 per cent. In fact, nearly 50 per cent of Websense customers have purchased Websense TRITON.

Following the acquisition of the company by Vista Equity Group in June 2013, Websense new customer acquisition surged by more than 30 per cent worldwide in the second half of the year. Momentum was evident when the company secured six Q4 deals that exceeded $1 million with three topping approximately $3 million each. In the U.S., TRITON continued to be the go-to choice in cybersecurity with an 81-per cent increase in new enterprise business.
