News came out on Wednesday that San Diego-based Websense is considering putting itself up for sale. Websense is working with Qatalyst Partners to evaluate whether it should sell.
The Wall Street Journal estimates the company could be worth about $1 billion in a sale. If Websense does manage to sell itself, it will become the latest web security vendor to get acquired. Ironport and Secure Computing, were two other high profile web security companies that were acquired. If Websense joins their ranks, it will leave Blue Coat as the only major player that hasn't been acquired into a much larger company.
