Carnival Cruise Lines Selects Websense Inc. to Battle Rising Tide of Internet Misuse in the Workplace
Employee Internet access
can be an expensive proposition for any company. Workers often expose their companies to legal liabilities by viewing or downloading inappropriate Web material. And there are additional costs involved, such as
wasted network bandwidth and lost employee productivity. Of course, add the variables of multiple office locations and some Internet hook-ups on boats at sea, and the potential for Internet-related problems is
enormous.
That's why Carnival Cruise Lines decided it was necessary to proactively manage Internet use for its employees both on land and at sea. After an extensive product search and evaluation, Carnival
eventually selected Websense software as its employee Internet management (EIM) solution of choice.
Carnival uses Websense Enterprise, integrated with Microsoft ISA Server, to manage Web use for more than
3,000 Internet-enabled employees at the company's corporate headquarters in Miami.
In the future, the company plans to roll out Websense software in other office locations and on its fleet of ships.
Internet access at sea is a particularly expensive proposition because of the cost of the satellite link; Websense Enterprise software will greatly reduce the amount of wasted or inappropriate bandwidth to the
satellite, saving money for Carnival.
"We chose Websense because it was by far the best Internet filtering product on the market. With its ease of management, comprehensive and flexible features and
ability to integrate with a host of products, it was the obvious choice to make the Net more productive for our employees," said Rodney Orange, lead systems engineer, Carnival Cruise Lines. "Websense won
easily over the competition with its flexible management tools and ability to integrate with any number of existing Internet infrastructure products, such as Microsoft ISA."
