    SAN JOSE, California, May 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Finjan, a leader in web
security products, today announced that its Chief Technology Officer Yuval
Ben-Itzhak will present the latest threats uncovered by Finjan's Malicious
Code Research Center (MCRC) at The Gartner IT Security Summit 2007 in
Washington, D.C. on Monday, June 4. These threats include:
    - A new genre of highly sophisticated evasive attacks that hackers are
using to lower the visibility of their malicious code in the wild
    - The proliferation of affiliation networks based on a "hosted model"
for malicious code, which utilize off-the-shelf malicious code packages to
compromise highly popular websites and even government domains.
    - New examples showing the growing presence of malicious code in online
advertising on legitimate websites
    Yuval Ben-Itzhak will also address effective ways for organizations to
counter these emerging threats:

    Hackers are now selectively exposing malicious code to innocent website
visitors and hiding it from web crawlers utilized for classification by
search engines and URL filtering engines.
    "The reality is that commercially-driven hackers are using new
sophisticated methods, such as dynamic code obfuscation and evasive
attacks, to bypass traditional signature-based and database reliant
solutions, which were not designed to detect dynamic web scenarios," said
Yuval Ben-Itzhak, CTO, Finjan. "The combination of evasive attacks with
code obfuscation techniques significantly enhances the capability of
sophisticated hackers to go undetected."
    The session, titled "Emerging Web Threats: Best Practices to Protect
Enterprise Networks," will take place Monday, June 4, from 6:55 PM - 7:15
PM at Theater A in Hall C of the Solution Showcase.
    Finjan will also be unveiling new enhancements to its secure web
gateway products at the event. These will be demonstrated at the Finjan
booth (Booth 150) during the three-day Summit.
