Following its Q2 Trend Report(http://www.finjan.com/Content.aspx?id=827) 
findings about today's cybercrime economy and its modus operandi, Finjan 
conducted an online survey to determine the current perception of Cybercrime
and Web 2.0 risks to organizations. Respondents were asked about business 
risks resulting from crimeware attacks, the potential damage that successful
attacks might inflict, their knowledge of being breached, their main concern
with respect to data theft and loss of productivity, and about security
solutions and Web 2.0 policies.

Key findings from the survey:

    - 91% of all respondents stated that they perceive cybercrime as a major
      business risk (e.g. loss of customers, brand name damage, lawsuits
      etc.)

    - 73% of the all responding CIOs and CSOs were more concerned about data
      theft (crimeware stealing their business data) than about downtime and
      loss of productivity due to virus infections

    - The majority of the respondents (68%) indicated that their corporate
      intellectual property and sensitive information is at risk of 
      data-theft

    - More than half of the respondents (54%) worry about their corporate
      employee information being stolen

    - 47% of all respondents listed theft of their corporate customer
      information as a major business concern

    - In the banking and financial sector, 95% of the respondents perceived
      cybercrime as a major business risk to their organization

    - Of the responding healthcare providers, 73% listed their patients'
      medical records as the main potential cybercrime target

    - 25% of the respondents reported that their data had been breached, with
      an overwhelming 42% of respondents who could not exclude the 
      possibility of a breach

    - 67% of respondents knowledgeable about web security listed real-time
      content inspection technology as the preferred web security solution



"As the Web has become the major malware infection channel,
crimeware-filtering capability has become a critical component in
organizations' Web security strategy," said Yuval Ben-Itzhak, Chief
Technology Officer at Finjan. "Today, more and more corporate data is at risk
of being stolen by cybercriminals. Our Web security survey report provides an
important insight on how organizations perceive cybercrime today and their
preferred solution to prevent it."

Finjan's RUSafe(R) enables enterprises to find out if they might have
been breached. It scans web traffic using Finjan's security engines, without
the need to change the security infrastructure and network topology. It
provides enterprises a clear snapshot of the true nature of their web traffic
over a pre-defined timeframe, without disrupting in-line live traffic.

Finjan's Secure Web Gateway Solution prevents malware and Web 2.0 attacks
using its patented active real-time content inspection technologies.
Malicious inbound and outbound content is detected based on the code's
intended criminal action; not on signatures, URLs or reputation attributes.
Inspected content hiding in HTTPs/SSL traffic remains encrypted when entering
and exiting the appliance. With the use of real-time code inspection
enterprises can be sure that no malicious content enters their networks and
steals their valuable business data.
