eEye Digital Security and Citigroup Receive Information Security Honorable Mention for the 2003 Best Practice Awards

eEye® Digital Security, a leading developer of enterprise security software solutions, today announced that eEye has received an honorable mention for Citigroup’s award winning and innovative solution integrating eEye's Retina into its existing systems.

In this award winning integration, eEye’s Retina® Network Security Scanner serves as the preferred vulnerability scanner solution allowing Citigroup’s team of security technicians to manage security on a large number of globally-dispersed systems. Through a combination of tools and processes, they are able to provide on-demand scanning of its entire server infrastructure.

Using Retina as its network security scanner, Citigroup can send notifications and/or tasks to all pertinent stakeholders from audit to operations personnel. An automated workflow is used to move the remediation process quickly, easily engaging the entire organization to ensure information security by holding groups accountable through statistics and tangible quantified results.

“Citigroup’s award winning implementation shows that security is the number one IT priority. eEye’s Retina Network Security Scanner gives them pre-emptive ability to identify IT assets that need attention and respond accordingly,” said Firas Raouf, chief operating officer for eEye Digital Security. “Due to their size and distributed architecture, solutions they depend on must be both best-in-class and scalable to meet our growing needs. We are pleased that Citigroup chose Retina to integrate with its Continuous Vulnerability Assessment and Scanning Toolkit."
