The Need for Mobile Code Security
New mobile code Internet technologies, such as Java and ActiveX, offer
seamless communication between different computer operating systems by
sending mobile code across the Internet. Unless adequately protected,
however, security threats are possible when Java and ActiveX are
misused or maliciously manipulated. By exploiting code, hackers can
change the entire behavior of a client machine.
Finjan's SurfinGate, SurfinCheck and SurfinShield Xtra solutions help
the enterprise benefit from Java and ActiveX by offering patent
pending security technology together with granular control. SurfinGate
also includes smart filtering for Visual Basic Script and Java Script,
plus cookies and plug-in control for added security.
RSA's JSAFE offers a powerful extension to the Java security model by
providing advanced encryption capabilities. JSAFE supports deployment
on a broad range of environments -- from distributed client
applications to servers that run critical corporate operations.
In addition, JSAFE's interface with RSA's BSAFE toolkit offers Java
developers flexibility in combining the Java language with native code
to further enhance performance.
