- Security Industry Veteran Leads Session on new Web Threats Facing 
Government Agencies and Ways to Combat Them

SAN JOSE, California, June 3 /PRNewswire/ --

Finjan, Inc. a leader in secure web gateway products, today announced
that CTO Yuval Ben-Itzhak will be a presenter at the 11th Annual New York
State Cyber Security Conference. Co-sponsored by the NYS Office of Cyber
Security and Critical Infrastructure Coordination (CSCIC), the University of
Albany, State University of New York, and the New York State Forum, the
Conference brings cyber security professionals from state and local
government, academia, along with the private and non-profit sectors to focus
on emerging cyber security issues, what cyber security tools are available
and how to use them. The Conference will also provide attendees with examples
of best practices that have relevance for all organizations.

Ben-Itzhak's session, "Cracking Down on Malware Targeted Toward the
Government Sector," will take place on June 5, 2008 from 8:00 a.m. - 9:15
a.m.

"Crimeware, Trojan horses and Keystroke logging are just a few examples
of malware that have become a nuisance and time drain on IT teams, and are
currently fighting an uphill battle to combat these threats," said Yuval
Ben-Itzhak, Finjan CTO. "Since malware is increasingly becoming more and more
obfuscated, it may seem impossible to predict future attack patterns.
Moreover, malicious code is just as likely to be accessed through legitimate
websites (e.g. government, financial, or healthcare) as disreputable websites
(e.g. websites with adult content). In fact, recent studies indicate that
nearly 30,000 infected web pages are being created every day, and 80% of
these pages are located on legitimate websites. With this kind of malicious
activity, stopping malware has to be a top priority for organizations."

In his session, Ben-Itzhak will provide an overview of the recent web
threats today and will also:

- Explore the anti-forensic technologies behind the latest web
      threats targeted toward government websites
    - Examine the mounting challenges in malware detection
    - Show real-world examples of malware that have an impact on
      legitimate government websites
    - Recommend methods to stop malware before it impacts government
      organizations and members of the community



The 11th Annual NYS Cyber Security Conference takes place June 4 & 5,
