Executive Summary

Forrester evaluated leading Web filtering technology vendors across 53 criteria and found that Websense and McAfee/Secure Computing lead the pack because of their broad functionality and focused strategy vision. Trend Micro, Cisco Systems, Symantec/MessageLabs, and McAfee are Strong Performers but fall short in certain areas of technology. Google, Marshal8e6, Microsoft, and Symantec lack either strong capability or cohesive vision, and trail the field.
