Industry’s top-rated vulnerability assessment solution provides single-selection audit of critical Windows and Unix security issues.

(ALISO VIEJO, CA) April 17, 2003 — Eye Digital Security announces that its best-of-breed vulnerability assessment solution, Retina Network Security Scanner (www.eEye.com/Retina), has been augmented with a single-selection option that performs a network audit based on the SANS/FBI Top 20 vulnerabilities. The new policy enables Retina users to quickly and accurately detect and resolve the most critical security issues within their network without the need for extensive configuration.

The SANS/FBI Top 20 is a list of the twenty most critical and commonly exploited services on Windows and Unix hosts. The “Top 20” refers to the ten Windows and ten Unix categories of audits contained within the listing, each category consisting of numerous individual audits. Retina has always performed these audits and now provides a single-selection option to facilitate an instant SANS/FBI Top 20 security check.

"Leadership in vulnerability analysis means isolating the most critical vulnerabilities and getting rid of them first. That's just what eEye is helping its clients do by announcing a software capability to find the SANS/FBI Top 20 vulnerabilities without hiding the critical data under a wave of other vulnerabilities. Kudos to eEye for this development," states Alan Paller, Director of Research at The SANS Institute.

“Retina continues to lead the market in its ability to simplify the vulnerability assessment and remediation management process. The single-selection SANS/FBI Top 20 policy enables organizations to focus on accurately identifying and correcting the most critical network security issues as part of their ongoing threat reduction process,” states Firas Raouf, Chief Operating Officer of eEye Digital Security.

Retina Network Security Scanner is recognized as the industry’s most accurate and non-intrusive scanner with its comprehensive vulnerability database supported by eEye’s leading research team. Built for both distributed enterprise and standalone networking environments, Retina is utilized by some of the world’s largest corporations and government entities for accurate vulnerability assessment and remediation management.
