 LETTER FROM THE CEO    

John VigourouxDear Reader,

I am proud to announce that Finjan’s new Secure Web Gateway was officially released in February. This product release is part of our new Unified Web Security offering for the enterprise market.

Finjan’s Secure Web Gateway is the first of its kind to provide enterprises with a unified Web security solution. It combines multi-layered Web security, DLP, content caching, application control, URL filtering, and Web 2.0 security on one dedicated appliance. This enables low TCO and higher ROI – crucial for enterprises and organizations alike in the current economic climate.

All features are easily managed using an intuitive administrative GUI. Finjan’s Unified Secure Web Gateway comes at a time when enterprises are looking for cost-effective ways to protect their organization while securing their networks against the growing wave of cyberattacks.

In its review of Finjan’s Secure Web Gateway v9.2, Channel Insider concluded that the “Web Gateway v9.2 is a comprehensive solution that would meet the security appliance expectations of any enterprise. What sets Finjan apart is superior management capabilities that prove excellent for on-premises or managed services deployment.”

Together with the release of v9.2, we also launched our new website supporting our Unified Web Security approach. Its clean design and layout makes it easy for visitors to navigate and to quickly get the information they want.

As always, I invite you to visit our new website regularly to keep abreast of the latest Finjan news.

 FROM OUR MCRC SECURITY LABS    

Finjan’s Web Security Survey H1/2008 also shows that almost all participating organizations perceive cybercrime as a major business risk, including loss of customers, brand name damage and potential lawsuits. The majority also indicated that they see sensitive corporate information and IP to be at risk of data theft. The survey also found that the majority of the CIOs and CSOs are more concerned about data-stealing malware entering their networks than about downtime and loss of productivity due to virus infections.
