SAN JOSE, California, October 16 /PRNewswire/ --

- Eric Benhamou Named as Chairman of the Board

Finjan Inc., a leader in secure web gateway products, today announced the
executive appointments of Eric Benhamou as Chairman and John Vigouroux as
President and CEO. Outgoing President & CEO, Asher Polani, will continue to
serve on the Board of Directors.

Over the past two years, Finjan has experienced substantial strategic and
business success, asserting its leadership in the secure web gateway market
and demonstrated significant growth. After establishing a firm foothold in
the EU market, Finjan is placing a renewed emphasis on the US market, which
is the largest geographic market for Finjan's products and technology and
represents a major strategic opportunity. Within this territory, Finjan has
decided to move up market and serve the web security needs of large US
enterprises, in addition to the medium and smaller businesses it already
serves. To support this strategy, the new executive appointees will both be
based in the Silicon Valley, while operations in the EU and elsewhere will
continue to be supported by Finjan's regional offices around the world.

"Eric's entrepreneurial background, together with John's
executive management record at high-profile security technology companies,
brings invaluable experience and perspective to Finjan," stated Asher Polani,
outgoing President & CEO of Finjan. "Finjan has gained product superiority
and market leadership. Strengthening our presence and management capacity in
the US will further accelerate our momentum. My commitment to Finjan's
success remains unswerving, and I look forward to continuing to serve on the
Board of Directors."

Mr. Vigouroux joins Finjan as President & CEO with over 25 years of
experience leading private and public security companies. Mr. Vigouroux is
coming to Finjan from Cranite Systems, a secure network company, where he
served as the Chairman and CEO. Prior to this, he was President and COO at
Tumbleweed Communications as well as President and CEO at Valicert, which was
acquired by Tumbleweed. Mr. Vigouroux has also held executive positions in
both large multi-national enterprises such as Cisco, Adobe Systems, and GE
Information Services, as well as several Silicon Valley startups.

"I am excited to be a part of the team and look forward to accelerating
Finjan's business growth in a rapidly expanding market," said Vigouroux. "The
ability to proactively secure enterprises from the growing cybercrime threat
is of paramount concern to enterprises worldwide, and Finjan is uniquely
positioned to address this need."

Eric Benhamou is chairman and CEO of Benhamou Global Ventures, which
invests and plays an active role in innovative high tech firms throughout the
world. Benhamou is also the chairman of the board of directors of 3Com
Corporation and Palm, Inc. He served as chief executive officer of Palm from
October 2001 until October 2003. Benhamou served as chief executive officer
of 3Com Corporation from September 1990 until December 31, 2000. In 1981,
Benhamou co-founded Bridge Communications, an early networking pioneer, and
was vice president of engineering until its merger with 3Com in 1987. In
addition, he serves on the boards of the INSEAD School of Business, the
Stanford University School of Engineering and Ben Gurion University of the
Negev.

"Finjan is a recognized technological leader in the web
security space and has a proven record of success. I look forward to closely
working with John Vigouroux and the rest of the management team as we steer
Finjan through its next phases of growth," said Benhamou.
