Lotto Sport Italia S.p.A. Networks Selects Finjan's Secure Web Gateway to Prevent Crimeware and Web-Borne Threats From Entering Their Networks


TREVIGNANO, Italy, May 22 /PRNewswire/ --

- Finjan's Vital Security(TM) Product Suite, Using Active Real-Time 
Content Inspection Technology, Prevents Malicious Content From Entering 
Lotto's Corporate Networks to Steal Valuable Data

Lotto Sport Italia, a leading Italian sportswear company, has
deployed Finjan's award-winning Secure Web Gateway to secure its
infrastructure and data at its headquarters in Tevignano, Italy, soon to be
followed at its four other branches. As well as protecting its corporate
network and data, Lotto Sport Italia is also minimizing loss of productivity
due to Crimeware attacks.

Lotto Sport Italia needed to secure all its locations from
malicious Web threats entering its networks and to reduce the downtime of its
networks caused by Crimeware threats - more specifically spyware attacks and
Crimeware that exploit application's vulnerabilities to steal valuable
business data.

The security solutions (network firewalls and anti-virus
technology) that Lotto Sport Italia was using before didn't meet its
standards. The need to deploy updates individually at each of its
five locations was especially cumbersome.

Lotto Sport Italia decided to chose Finjan's "all in one"
Secure Web Gateway solution, based on the award-winning Vital Security(TM)
Web Appliance NG-5000. The solution was implemented by Yarix Information
Security, Finjan's Gold Partner in Italy.

Lotto Sport Italia opted to install two redundant NG-5000
appliances at its headquarters in Trevignano (Treviso, Italy) to protect its
corporate network.

Four additional NG-5000 Vital Security Web Appliances will be
rolled out at four locations in Jakarta (Indonesia), Hong Kong (China),
Nanjing (China) and Dongguan (China). Installed in the DMZ (Demilitarized
Zone) behind the corporate firewall, Finjan's NG-5000 appliances provide a
centrally-managed solution for all Lotto Sport Italia's network users in the
various locations. It enables flexible creation of granular security policies
for specific groups of users. By integrating several security engines in one,
single appliance, Finjan's comprehensive and integrated web security
solutions enable quick deployment, simplified management and reduction of
costs.

"At Lotto Sport, we were looking for a new infrastructure with
a single-point management to block Crimeware and to diminish loss of
productivity," stated Claudio Pieri, Vice President Information Systems at
Lotto Sport Italia. "After Finjan's comprehensive evaluation, we realized
that our current network firewall and Anti-Virus solutions had serious
limitations when it came to detecting unknown Crimeware attacks originating
from the Web. Since deployment of Finjan's secure web gateway solution,
maintenance of our security solution has become much easier and requires less
resources. Finjan's active real-time web security protects our networks from
stealthy Trojans and Crimeware."

Finjan's active real-time content inspection technology is
uniquely capable of analyzing Web content in real-time regardless of its
source, breaking down the code and understanding its true intent without
executing it on the end user's machine. Finjan delivers one of the highest
rates of malicious code detection and prevention, allowing enterprises to
safeguard their most valuable asset - their data.
