3 Update Mechanism
The Update mechanism periodically checks Finjan's Web site and automatically displays
any available updates via the Management Console for the administrator. There are three
categories of updates:
Behavior scanning logic and vulnerability data: These can be configured
automatically. Vital Security behavior profiling data and security processors are
updated automatically from the Finjan site as soon as new Windows vulnerabilities are
discovered. Vulnerability protection typically arrives before viruses that exploit the
vulnerability are released.
Finjan Software is a market leader in malicious mobile code and the Malicious Code
Research Center at Finjan employs dedicated experts who work around the clock to
identify new Windows vulnerabilities and exploits, enabling real day-zero protection.
OS Version updates and new feature add-ons: Automatic downloading from the
Finjan Web site can be enabled/disabled via the Management Console. You will be
notified automatically when updates become available so that you can install them and
keep your system up-to-date.
Third-party security engines: Vital Security incorporates best-of-breed third-party
engines (anti-virus and URL categorization). These applications rely on frequent and
regular updates, and these are downloaded and installed automatically by the auto-
update feature.
3.1 Installing Updates
Updates are installed via the Vital Security Management Console, which runs on the All-in-
One appliance or Policy Server at the default HTTPS port (443). It is recommended to
check for updates each time that you use the system, in the event that security and
functional updates have been released either since the product was installed or since the last
check was performed.
