eEye's Solution Provides Proactive, Continuous Security to University's Vast and Distributed Network
(ALISO VIEJO, CA) March 23, 2004 — eEye Digital Security, a leading developer of network security software solutions, today announced that the University of Miami (UM), the largest research university in the Southeastern United States, has chosen eEye to provide a vulnerability management solution to secure its campus networks. UM is utilizing eEye’s Retina Enterprise Suite to audit its campus networks in order to uncover and remediate network vulnerabilities.
UM provides its institution with an IT infrastructure that combines web-based, hosted business applications, end user devices such as desktop PCs and PDA’s, and 24x7 services and support. UM will be deploying Retina Enterprise Suite as part of its threat management strategy, ensuring maximum network uptime and data integrity.
"eEye’s Retina Enterprise Suite offers large organizations like ours an easy way to assess and patch the enterprise,” said Rishi Ganga, IT Security Manager at the University of Miami. “We needed a proactive solution to ensure that our infrastructure is highly secure as we are responsible for sensitive data and applications. This is a wise investment, saving both time and money."
UM takes advantage of Retina Enterprise Suite's integrated vulnerability management components, including Retina and REM. Retina, the industry’s leading network scanner proactively identifies vulnerabilities across the entire network, regardless of the type of OS, application or device connected. When vulnerabilities are identified, UM is then able to view and address these vulnerabilities via the REM Management Console.
“The University of Miami is a great example of the diverse nature of the networks created by large, innovative organizations and the difficulties IT organizations face in securing such infrastructure,” said Firas Raouf, chief operating officer at eEye Digital Security. “Our Retina Enterprise Suite was an obvious choice, as it delivers the industry’s best combination of effectiveness and ease-of-use to enable UM to meet their goal of complete data integrity and confidentiality.”
About eEye’s Retina Enterprise Suite
In today's complex network architecture, significant investments have been made in enterprise applications - financial reporting, supply chain management and sales force automation, to name a few. These applications drive business processes that rely on network devices. A single attack on a network device can have a ripple effect on a business process, reducing its availability or shutting it down entirely.
To overcome these overwhelming challenges, eEye's Retina Enterprise Suite combines process and technology into a single, effective system. Retina Enterprise Suite provides security professionals the ability to schedule and perform vulnerability audits, create and enforce security policies, automate remediation activities, verify corrective actions, and report on the entire network threat management process. This enterprise security process provides a complete and efficient way of bringing security and IT administrators together under the same workflow umbrella.
