WebSense last week released its Enterprise Security Suite, providing network and desktop protection against viruses, malware and spyware.

WebSense, a specialist in monitoring tools, plans to introduce deeper analytics and forensics abilities to its suite to help firms identify abuses and gather evidence for dismissals. The next version is likely to offer more graphical depictions to help administrators find problems.

Staff will be able to view logs to explain or deny activities.

"If forensic logging has been triggered, staff can click and see what is being logged," said Harold Kester, chief technology officer at WebSense.

He said spyware - software that covertly gathers information about usage - is an increasing concern for firms.
