1 Introduction
Cyber-threats are fast increasing and pose a serious and growing problem for corporate
networks, appearing in different forms and using a variety of tactics – viruses, worms,
Trojans, and more. New, ultra-fast viruses can infect your system within seconds, long
before traditional signature-based solutions can protect you. While waiting for anti-virus
companies to release a new virus signature, thousands of unprotected computers may have
already been infected, leaving no alternative other than to shut down the corporate network.
Finjan's proactive behavior-inspection technology at the gateway provides protection by
examining active content behavior and identifying and blocking malicious mobile code
(viruses, worms, Trojan horses and a myriad of ever-developing attack types). Finjan’s
unique and patented proactive behavior inspection technology offers instant protection
against new virus, worm and malicious mobile code outbreaks without time-sensitive
signature-file updates, thus closing the Window-of-Vulnerability™ and providing
networks with true day-zero protection.
Vital Security - Finjan’s Integrated Security Platform - is a complete and integrated
Secure Content Management solution in which individual best-of-breed security
applications work together in concert to respond proactively to the changing security
threats of both today and tomorrow.
