We want to implement some sort of WEB security filtering for group of remote offices. &nbsp;We have two things on the table for us to consider. <br />
<br />
1. Cisco NGIPS (Firepower), and management center. <br />
2. Websense<br />
<br />
I used Websense in the past. &nbsp;Users who try to open up bad web links from their email or web browsers, they are not able to do it. <br />
<br />
I am not familiar to Cisco Firepower. &nbsp;Does someone know if it does the same thing as Websense? &nbsp;What are their major differences in a high level perceptive?<br />
<br />
Please advise. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.
