Facebook and Websense Partner to Protect Users from Malicious Links

Starting today, Websense technology will add to Facebook’s existing protections to stop users from clicking on links without knowing the trustworthiness of the destination. When a Facebook user clicks on a link it will be checked against the Websense database. If Websense determines the link is malicious, the user will see a page that offers the choice to continue at their own risk, return to the previous screen, or get more information on why it was flagged as suspicious. To find out how to make use of this functionality contact us on 0845 5678 777 or mail us on info@secon.co.uk.
