How does it work?

 

Finjan SecureBrowsing is a security extension for your browser that scans and classifies web addresses to provide you with safety rating of URLs before you visit them. Proactively alerting you to potentially malicious web addresses in links of search results, ads and other selected web pages, SecureBrowsing protects you from webpages that could be used to compromise your privacy and identity.

 

Unlike other products in the market that are based on static databases containing information on web domain reputations, Finjan’s SecureBrowsing scans each URL as it currently exists on the web, each time the address is displayed in your browser.

 

Using this method, Finjan’s SecureBrowsing will always provide a safety rating for each URL showing in your browser. This on-demand and real-time scanning approach is powered by Finjan’s patented behavior-based inspection technology.

 

Safety ratings are provided visually next to each scanned URL. For simplicity, Finjan’s SecureBrowsing uses three color-coded symbols:

• Safe
• Unsafe
• Not scanned (page not available)

 

For more information on each rating, click on the More Info link at the bottom of the safety balloon.
