Why do I need Finjan software if I have a firewall?
Firewall software or hardware at a network gateway protects private networks from network-based attacks by allowing or blocking network transactions but firewalls do not perform content inspection or behavior monitoring of code. Firewalls are a good line of defense for networks, but malicious code attacks on PCs can bypass firewalls very easily via the Web or e-mail. Finjan products perform sophisticated behavior monitoring of specific code types, such as ActiveX, JavaScript, Visual Basic Script, Java and executable files. By monitoring actual program behavior at the gateway or desktop, Finjan products can prevent malicious attacks from occurring on user’s PCs.
