Finjan Inc., provider of proactive web security solutions for businesses and organisations, announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted US Patent No. 7,058,822 for "Malicious Mobile Code Runtime Monitoring System and Methods" to Finjan. This patent supplements the company's broad intellectual property portfolio and gives further expression to Finjan's technological strength and ongoing efforts aimed at ensuring that its customers enjoy the most advanced security products and solutions available on the market.

The patent covers systems and methods for protecting end user machines from undesirable or otherwise malicious operations performed by mobile code, including Java applets, ActiveX controls, JavaScript, Visual Basic scripts, add-ins, downloaded/uploaded programs or other "downloadables". These technologies, known as "Active Content," are used to provide dynamic and enriched content on websites and to run common business applications. However, they can also be exploited by hackers to surreptitiously install Spyware, Trojans and other malicious content on user machines.

Finjan delivers best-of-breed proactive web security solutions which provide true zero-hour protection from new vulnerabilities and threats. Finjan's patented behaviour-based security and vulnerability patching technologies proactively repel all types of web-borne threats, including Spyware, Trojans and malicious code. Finjan's Vital Security(TM) Appliances and Vital Security(TM) SDK have won multiple industry awards, attesting to the unparalleled security delivered by Finjan's robust and patented based-based technologies.
