Finjan Inc., a leader in secure web gateway products, announced today the launch of its unified Secure Web Gateway (SWG) version 9.2. It combines multi-layered web security, productivity, compliance, liability and bandwidth control on one dedicated appliance.

All combined features are easily managed, using a user-friendly administrative GUI.

Finjanís unified Secure Web Gateway combines:

Multi-layered web security to protect valuable business data against todayís cybercrime threats.

Finjanís technology has also been enhanced to inspect Acrobat Flash and PDF files in real-time.

Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) to protect enterprises from intentionally or unintentionally leaking sensitive corporate data by employees or Trojans. Outbound communications inspection includes HTTP/SSL traffic and the prevention of ìTrojans phoning homeî communications.

Productivity, URL filtering and Web 2.0 control to enable organizations to fully benefit from the Web and Web 2.0 applications while controlling employeesí productivity.

Applications control to increase employeesí productivity and prevent the leakage of corporate data by controlling the use of common applications per specific policy groups. Applications include Instant Messaging, Skype and P2P.

Secure content caching to accelerate web content access, improve user experience and save bandwidth cost.
ìIt is good to see that Finjan has moved on to cover the major areas of the infosecurity market that Butler Group predicts will be important in 2009, Web protection, information security and data loss prevention. Finjanís new Secure Web Gateway v9.2 covers all these issues and fits well around what we think Enterprises should be concentrating on,î stated Andy Kellett, Senior Research Analyst at Butler Group.

In todayís economic climate, organizations are looking for a multi-layered and easy to manage Web security solution with low administration overhead and ownership costs. Finjanís unified Secure Web Gateway is uniquely positioned to meet these criteria. Lower Total Cost of Ownership is achieved by utilizing a single appliance that centrally manages all security features. Savings on power consumption, floor space and hardware-related costs, as well as reduced administration time further contribute to low TCO.

Kellet continued, ìI meet many Chief Information Security Officers who want to resolve the issue of DLP. They are, however, faced with issues relating to classifying and controlling data that require huge investments in resources and new technology. Recently we have seen a change in emphasis by CISOs who now want to invest in simplified DLP solutions while delaying broader solutions.î

ìFinjanís new DLP module enables enterprises to prevent data leaving the organization via online communication channels. This creates a simple cost effective solution while they continue to develop their broader content discovery and categorization policy between the different business groupsî, said Werner Thalmeier, VP Products for Finjan.
