From the Cisco CSC-SSM FAQ:
 
Q. What are the differences between the Cisco ASA 5500 Series CSC-SSM
and the functionality provided by Websense?
A. Although there are similarities between the CSC-SSM and Websense URL
and content filtering products, the CSC-SSM solution is much more
tailored to the small and medium enterprise (SME) customers. Websense is
the worldwide leader of web filtering and security for the enterprise
market with nearly 30% market share according to IDC. The CSC-SSM URL
filtering solution offers basic policy management and content filtering
functionality for SME customers, as part of an all-in-one content
security solution. The Websense offering is a standalone solution that
provides a more robust and sophisticated approach to web filtering and
security targeted to enterprise customers. 
 
So, what if I don't want the inferior Trend solution? Oh yea, use an ISA
firewall with the on-box Websense solution:

Sicko should focus on making the "dumb network"
(http://www.rageboy.com/stupidnet.htmlfaster) and more resiliant and let
the software companies deal with security.
