NEW YORK, March 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Finjan
Holdings, Inc. (OTC MKT: FNJN) (the "Company") today announced its
subsidiary Finjan, Inc. ("Finjan") has been issued a new U.S.
patent - 8,677,494 (the '494 patent). The '494 patent is the
most recent addition to the Finjan patent portfolio which now
exceeds 40 issued and pending patents worldwide. This most
recent patent issuance relates to a proprietary malicious mobile
code runtime monitoring systems and methods, which Finjan began
developing in the mid 1990's to address potential network security
threats through better recognition of malicious code segments
passing through Internet infrastructure and networks to endpoint
devices.
The techniques described in the '494 patent cover protection
systems and methods offering security for one or more personal
computers and /or other intermittently or persistently network
accessible devices or processes. Specifically, the inventive
aspects of the patent cover various defenses from undesirable or
otherwise malicious operations of Java TN applets, ActiveX™
controls, JavaScript™ scripts, Visual Basic scripts, add-ins, and
downloaded/uploaded programs which are often downloaded by users
without considering the inherent security risks. Finjan was
founded to develop technologies such as those captured in the '494
patent and has secured patent protection for innovations that
beneficially affect PC users on a daily basis.
"Finjan has been recognizable at the center of the software
security technology sector for nearly two decades," said Finjan's
President, Phil Hartstein.
"This recent patent issuance is significant as it affirms the
importance of our continued commitment to our innovative
culture. We expect to continue this trend of issuing patents
into our portfolio, both in the United
States and abroad, and investing in new technologies to
combat relentlessly evolving threats in the cybersecurity
space."
Recognized internationally as a pioneer and leader in web and
network security, Finjan's decades-long investment in innovation is
captured in its patent portfolio, centered around software and
hardware technologies capable of proactively detecting previously
unknown and emerging threats on a real-time, behavior-based
basis. Finjan has licensed its patents and technology to
several major software and technology companies around the world
and remains active in those efforts.

ABOUT FINJAN:
Founded in 1997, Finjan is one of the
first companies to develop and patent proprietary technology and
software that is capable of detecting previously unknown and
emerging threats on a real-time, behavior-based basis, in contrast
to signature-based methods of intercepting only known
threats to computers, which were previously standard in the online
security industry. Finjan continues to be a leading online security
and technology company, developing and patenting new proprietary
technologies related to software that proactively detects malicious
code and thereby protects end-users from identity and data theft,
spyware, malware, phishing, trojans and other online threats.
