Finjan Awarded Additional Patent for Proactive Content Inspection Technology
SAN JOSE, California, June 7/PRNewswire/ --
- Finjan's Patented Behaviour-Based Security Technologies Provide Customers With Protection against New and Emerging Web Threats
Finjan Inc., the global provider of best-of-breed proactive web security solutions for businesses and organisations, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted US Patent No.
7,058,822 for "Malicious Mobile Code Runtime Monitoring System and Methods"
to Finjan. This patent supplements the company's broad intellectual property portfolio and gives further expression to Finjan's technological strength and ongoing efforts aimed at ensuring that its customers enjoy the most advanced security products and solutions available on the market.
The patent covers systems and methods for protecting end user machines from undesirable or otherwise malicious operations performed by mobile code, including Java applets, ActiveX controls, JavaScript, Visual Basic scripts, add-ins, downloaded/uploaded programs or other "downloadables". These technologies, known as "Active Content," are used to provide dynamic and enriched content on websites and to run common business applications.
However, they can also be exploited by hackers to surreptitiously install Spyware, Trojans and other malicious content on user machines.
"With the rights granted under the new patent, Finjan extends its highly regarded intellectual property portfolio in the content security market. This unique status in the market clearly reflects Finjan's innovative approach and technological leadership," said Yuval Ben-Itzhak, Chief Technology Officer at Finjan. "We are proud to expand Finjan's patent portfolio with this new technology, which complements Finjan's previously patented technologies in this domain and enhances the level of security we provide to corporate customers."
