The WebSense deployment we have uses a combination of Cisco hardware and a Windows-based server. The Cisco product (in our case a Catalyst 6509) using WCCP redirects web traffic to a Windows-based server for content inspection and then filters the traffic based upon a list of policies. Web traffic destined for inappropriate sites is presented with a web page stating that the site they are trying to reach is blocked. The redirection can also come in the form of policy based routing as well. WebSense can also connect to AD and allow overrides and logging of web surfing. AD groups can be abstained from certain policies.
