SurfinGuard Pro® protects PC users from Internet threats by proactively monitoring and containing the behavior of downloaded active content. SurfinGuard Pro runs active content (e.g., executables, Windows scripting files, ActiveX and Java) in a protected "sandbox" called the Safe Zone that automatically blocks potentially hostile actions.
Using Finjan's patented First-Strike Security® technology, SurfinGuard Pro protects your PC while allowing you to manage the behavior of active content that is downloaded from the Web. SurfinGuard Pro represents a proactive way to combat unknown Trojan horses, Internet worms and hostile Web pages based on code behavior, rather than static signature recognition. Because SurfinGuard Pro does not rely on database updates, it can defend against new variants, unknown and "yet-to-be-created" attacks.
What's the Threat?
Millions of e-greeting cards, jokes and active content
files are passed over the Internet by people every day in
the form of executables (.exe files), scripts, ActiveX and
Java programs. While the vast majority of these programs
are harmless, the widely publicized Nimda, Goner, ILOVEYOU,
ExploreZip worm attacks are examples of malicious code that
caused tens of millions of dollars in damage. Malicious
code attached to harmless-looking e-mails can delete computer
files or steal personal data from unsuspecting victims.
In addition, high bandwidth lines to the home (e.g., DSL,
cable modems) open up a whole new set of threats from hackers
who now target these "always on" connections.
Multiple Lines of Defense: Why Anti-virus and Personal
Firewalls Aren't Enough
The frequency of Trojan, worm, and "no-click" attacks
has increased dramatically and current anti-virus software
is reactive by design, not able to detect and terminate
new "first-strike" attacks. In addition, hackers routinely
use compression utilities to create new variants invisible
to anti-virus software. Personal firewalls protect users
from programs that try to open a network connection, but
cannot prevent a Trojan or worm from deleting files on a
victim's PC. A surge of new "no-click" attacks that deliver
and launch payloads automatically has surfaced as well,
leaving all Internet users at risk. Traditional technologies
were never designed to stop such attacks as they often exploit
security holes and software flaws on their victims' PCs.
Detailed Alerts Empower Users To Make Clear Decisions
When behavior violations occur, SurfinGuard Pro generates
an alert with detailed information on the specific actions
in question. SurfinGuard Pro puts control back into your
hands - no longer will active content run ungoverned on
your PC.
First-Strike Security & Finjan Software
A "first strike" is the first time a new malicious code
attack is launched. Using patented behavior-inspection technology,
Finjan products can detect and prevent malicious behavior
before damage is inflicted.
