Finjan Unveils Powerful New Web Appliances to Meet Enterprise Need for High Performance Combined with Unmatched Security
New Vital Security(TM) Web Appliances and RUSafe Mode Keep Finjan Customers Ahead of Malicious Web Threats, the Top Threat to Enterprise Computers
SAN JOSE, California, January 23 - Finjan Inc., the global provider of proactive web security solutions for businesses and organizations, today announced the release of its upgraded line of Vital Security(TM) Web Appliances, featuring the brand new NG-6100 appliance for enterprises with high availability requirements. Finjan also announced the availability of its RUSafe mode, an exciting new tool that allows organizations to scan content in "sniffer" mode, without affecting their existing infrastructure. The new and upgraded Finjan offerings introduce significant enhancements in the areas of performance and high availability to comply with enterprises' demanding requirements. In terms of security, Finjan's offerings continue to provide the highest level of protection against malicious web content, recognized as the number one threat to enterprise networks.
The Vital Security Web Appliance hardware and software upgrades include a number of important features that further enhance the already superior security, manageability and performance of Finjan's multi-patented products.
The newest addition to Finjan's line of proactive web security appliances for enterprises is the Vital Security NG-6100 - a gateway solution that utilizes a robust, high availability platform to meet enterprises' stringent reliability and performance requirements. The NG-6100 can be deployed in a centralized manner at a main office, or can provide a high availability scanning solution for branch offices of large enterprises in conjunction with the NG-8100 appliance at enterprise headquarters.
In addition to the new NG-6100 appliance, Finjan has upgraded the existing family of Vital Security Web Appliances - comprising the NG-8100, NG-5100 and NG-1100 - to Finjan's new SUPERFORMANCE platforms, significantly improving performance. The NG-5100 appliance, for example, delivers more than double the throughput performance of previous appliance model. All Vital Security Web Appliances are compliant with the EU RoHS Directive.
"Not only do corporate and enterprise customers require proactive security solutions to safeguard their corporate assets and intellectual property; they also require robust solutions that meet their stringent high availability and performance requirements," stated Andy Kellett, Senior Research Analyst at Butler Group. "Finjan's new line of Vital Security Web Appliances provide the enterprise market with an excellent value proposition, combining Finjan's superior security technology with a high-throughput hardware platform."
The new Finjan RUSafe mode introduces an innovative approach which allows enterprises to mirror live traffic, as specified by the user, scan content using Finjan security engines, and generate traffic logs and reports. In RUSafe mode, the customer can deploy Finjan Vital Security Web Appliance with a very simple configuration and without changes to its existing network topology. Enterprises needing a proof-of-concept for Finjan solutions or a "sniffer" approach to security, can now install RUSafe in parallel to their existing infrastructure, and upgrade easily to "live" mode when needed.
"Finjan's new offerings address enterprises' needs by providing unmatched web security against the leading threats to corporate networks, while at the same time significantly improving performance and availability," said Yuval Ben-Itzhak, CTO, Finjan. "Our Vital Security Web Appliances achieve the highest level of protection against malicious code, thanks to Finjan's unique and patented behavior-based security engine."
Breakthrough behavior-based technology - the most effective real-time proactive solution for dynamic web threats
All of the Vital Security appliances utilize Finjan's patented behavior-based technology to proactively repel all types of web-borne threats at the gateway. Finjan's behavior-based security engine scans each and every piece of web content in real-time (regardless of its source), breaking down the code and understanding its intent before it runs on the end user's machine. The Finjan appliances protect against new and unknown attacks long before traditional anti-virus companies can release a signature update or other software vendors can patch their solutions. In addition, Finjan's Malicious Code Research Center (MCRC) enables customers to continuously benefit from early discovery of new software vulnerabilities prior to the availability of software patches.
In addition to its behavior-based technology, Finjan's web security appliances incorporate the company's Vulnerability Anti.dote(TM) engine for virtual patching, as well as its Anti-Spyware security engine. The Finjan appliances also offer optional modules for secure socket layer (SSL) inspection, load balancing, and a choice of third-party anti-virus and URL filtering engines (Kaspersky, McAfee, Sophos and SurfControl respectively).
