Web and messaging security products provider M86 Security has acquired Finjan, a global provider of secure Web gateway and hybrid SaaS solutions for the enterprise market.

M86 acquires Finjan's global operations, products, and technology. The American company will maintain Finjan’s development center and operations in Netanya, Israel, and will also merge Finjan’s security labs, Malicious Code Research Center, into M86 Security Labs. M86 didn't disclose any financial details about the deal.

M86 Security was formed by the November 2008 merger of Marshal and 8e6 Technologies. Finjan is the company`s second acquisition in the last 6 months, following the March 2009 acquisition of behavioral malware detection company Avinti. The acquisition grows M86 Security`s employee base to just more than 300 employees.

"The acquisition of Finjan supports our strategy to become the recognized leader in comprehensive inbound and outbound content security," said John Vigouroux, the CEO of M86, who joined M86 in April 2009 from his position as President and CEO of Finjan. "With Finjan real-time code analysis and M86 behavior-based malware detection, M86 now offers industry-leading threat protection technologies on both the Web and Email, and can provide an effective way to enable these technologies on appliances, software, or in the cloud."

Finjan provides active real-time content inspection and code analysis technology focused on identifying malware delivered inbound through the Web channel. Finjan’s solutions protect more than 1.5 million users in more than a thousand corporations worldwide. The company was founded in 1996 by Shlomo Tubul and is headquartered in San Jose, California.
