Network Appliance Strengthens Force of Finjan's Java Security Alliance Internet Cache Leader Joins JSA PR Newswire - January 19, 1999 13:13 RSA Data Security Conference and Expo '99, Finjan Booth #509 SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Finjan Inc., the leader in Internet mobile code security, today announced that Network Appliance, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTAP) has joined the Finjan Java(TM) Security Alliance (JSA). Network Appliance's participation in the JSA establishes the first official link between Internet caching appliance devices and Internet mobile code security. The JSA was founded by Finjan in 1997 to promote interoperability of all security products, and has since expanded beyond its firewall vendor charter to include a growing list of software and hardware companies sharing interest in Internet security. Network Appliance's participation in the JSA will help corporate customers find easy-to-use and safe Internet security devices that help them operate in an Internet environment where new security holes and exploits are found almost daily. Network Appliance's NetCache(TM) appliances allow carriers, ISPs and corporations to transparently scale their internet infrastructure, to handle increased network traffic, and significantly improve user response time and enhance security in an easy-to-deploy, integrated solution. Alternative software caching-based solutions are complex, costly and difficult to administer. Finjan offers corporations tools that help set and enforce security policies for Java, ActiveX, and other mobile code entering the network transparently as employees use the Internet. "Finjan's leadership of the Java Security Alliance is important because they are bringing leading companies together to address Internet security with Java developers," said Edward Sharp, business development manager for NetCache at Network Appliance. "We look forward to sharing our experiences by providing a new level of synergy to the alliance as they focus on promoting the importance of mobile code security for Internet business users." "Network Appliance is extremely successful in applying their well-known data access expertise to the booming Web cache sector, just as Finjan has interpreted market needs and developed mobile code security for enterprises using the Internet," said Bill Lyons, president and CEO of Finjan Inc. "Through the Java Security Alliance, Finjan and Network Appliance can team up to provide integrated, fast, and easy-to-use Internet technologies for today's on-line corporations." About Finjan JSA Standardizing mobile code security for easy connection to Web cache devices, VPN security tools, anti-virus products, and other security schemes helps customers quickly access the complete security they need in the Internet age. Finjan's Java Security Alliance (JSA) addresses the incompatibility issues faced by today's enterprise to offer users seamless, efficient paths to the security approach of their choice. The end result is higher customer satisfaction through better, more standardized products and technologies.
