Alerting, Logging and ReportingB-  

Although Vital Security provides extensive logging capacity--more than enough to satisfy compliance requisites--the reporting features were weak. The generic report templates lacked good customization capabilities.

While there is extensive alerting for system, application and update events via email and SNMP, we would have liked to see similar capabilities for serious policy violations or blocked event thresholds.

Relying on leading antivirus engines (Sophos, Kaspersky Lab and McAfee), Finjan's signature-based protection delivered full coverage against all of our malicious code samples. Vital Security also utilizes behavioral analysis to identify and block zero-day threats and virtual patching for common applications with known vulnerabilities. Websense and IBM Proventia provide effective and granular URL filtering.

Vital Security's rollback capability allowed us to set up an automatic backup schedule to securely transfer our policies and system settings.

Verdict

Finjan Vital Security is a scalable security solution that can effectively protect networks of all sizes from the increasing pressure of Web-based crimeware and enforce corporate Internet policy.
