Breakthrough Real-Time Content Inspection Technology - The Most Effective Security Solution for Dynamic Web Threats
Finjan's NG-8100 offering utilizes patented real-time content inspection technology to enable proactive detection of known and unknown web threats. This gateway solution also protects users against new and emerging threats, such as targeted attacks, Web 2.0 exploits and dynamically obfuscated code that often bypass traditional reactive security technologies. 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 potential effects without executing it. In this way, it identifies the true intent of the code and blocks only that content which needs to be blocked in accordance with your organization's security policy. This unique technology sets Finjan apart from both reactive security products which rely on signatures or databases, as well as proactive solutions based on heuristics and pre-emptive updates.
Enhanced Manageability
The system provides powerful management functions via a centralized, web-based console that facilitates efficient configuration, administration and maintenance. Flexible policy management enables administrators to create granular security policies for any single user or group. X-Ray mode is a unique feature that allows an enterprise to test new rules on live traffic before they are actually enforced. Transparency enables companies to integrate the NG-8100 within their networks in a seamless manner, alleviating the administrative burden and ensuring full control over their security infrastructure.
