Independent Analyst Firm Recognises Finjan’s Unified Secure Web Gateway Product as More Flexible, Efficient and Powerful Than Its Competitors’ Solutions
secure web gateway products and the provider of unified web security
solutions for the enterprise market, is proud to announce that its unified
Secure Web Gateway (SWG) product has received high praise from Butler Group,
a leading analyst firm.

According to the Butler Group report, Finjan’s product has a particular
strength in its “proven ability to deal with any type of Web-based threat
generically, regardless of whether it has been defined by ‘signature’ in the
global security community, as many competing solutions are known to leave
organisations exposed to a window of vulnerability faced with such threats,”
said
Rodger continued, “As a proven means of countering many ‘zero-day’
attacks, the method of real-time code inspection that SWG uses is of
particular value, and Butler Group believes this benefit should enhance many
organisations’ business cases for such a solution.”
The report offers an in-depth analysis of Finjan’s multi-layered Web
security and Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) capabilities to address
organisations’ Web security requirements, including threats coming from Web
2.0 sites.
According to
principle that there are only so many ways in which code can mount attacks,
recognising each of them in this way enables SWG to spot the danger
generically, rather than solely by searching for the signature of particular
malware, the method that many content security solutions rely upon. The
advantage of SWG’s generic detection of malicious code actions is that this
method will deal with threats that have not yet been recognised by the
various global industry alert systems – indeed, Finjan can detail evidence of
cases in which the method used by SWG has provided protection in advance of
malware signature information being circulated in the wider market, and
therefore provided better security protection than market competitors.”
The report highlights Finjan's unified Secure Web Gateway as:
- Providing a broad range of enterprise-strength content
security capabilities
- Preventing the need to look for individual solutions to
achieve a unified Web security solution
- Delivering more effective security and compliance
- Combines control of all the different web content security facilities
under one policy
- Proven ability to deal with any type of Web-based threats
pro-actively
- Powerful, flexible reporting capabilities
- Flexible configuration and range of adoption options
addressing a spectrum of needs
“Butler Group believes that Finjan’s unified Secure Web Gateway should be
strongly considered by organizations. Finjan provides a more flexible,
efficient, and powerful solution compared to its many Web content-oriented
security competitors,” said
Group. “With its powerful, efficient and flexible Web security solution,
Finjan solidifies its position as a leader in the unified Secure Web Gateway
market.”
“Finjan’s unified Secure Web Gateway (SWG) is uniquely positioned to help
organisations with their compliance, productivity and liability requirements
when using the Web. The Butler Group report confirms that a unified Web
security solution, utilizing active real-time content inspection
technologies, is the recommended choice for organisations around the world.
Our unified Secure Web Gateway enables companies, organisations and
government agencies alike to enjoy optimal multi-layered protection in
real-time,” said
