The Need for Mobile Code Security New mobile code Internet technologies, such as Java and ActiveX, offer seamless communication between different computer operating systems by sending mobile code across the Internet. Unless adequately protected, however, security threats are possible when Java and ActiveX are misused or maliciously manipulated. By exploiting code, hackers can change the entire behavior of a client machine. Finjan's SurfinGate, SurfinCheck and SurfinShield Xtra solutions help the enterprise benefit from Java and ActiveX by offering patent pending security technology together with granular control. SurfinGate also includes smart filtering for Visual Basic Script and Java Script, plus cookies and plug-in control for added security. RSA's JSAFE offers a powerful extension to the Java security model by providing advanced encryption capabilities. JSAFE supports deployment on a broad range of environments -- from distributed client applications to servers that run critical corporate operations. In addition, JSAFE's interface with RSA's BSAFE toolkit offers Java developers flexibility in combining the Java language with native code to further enhance performance.
