Blink Endpoint Intrusion Prevention Voted Best Integrated Security Software in Customer Trust Awards
(ALISO VIEJO, CA) August 14, 2006 — eEye Digital Security®, the leading developer of endpoint security and vulnerability management software solutions, as well as the industry’s foremost contributor to security research and education, recently announced its Blink Endpoint Intrusion Prevention solution has been named the winner of the Global Excellence in Integrated Security Software Customer Trust 2006 award by Info Security Products Guide. Recipients were selected by the more than 18,000 end-users and prospective customers worldwide who were invited to vote for the products they trust the most when it comes to protecting their digital resources.
“Blink’s single agent approach to intrusion prevention resonates so well with the user community because it consolidates more best-of-breed functionality than anything else out there,” stated Mike Puterbaugh, eEye’s vice president of marketing. “Managing a corporation’s security posture has become an increasingly complex undertaking and Blink enables companies to avoid that management headache, while significantly reducing IT costs, by providing the integrated solution enterprises demand.”
As the industry’s first endpoint security solution to incorporate multiple layers of proven technologies, Blink combines and extends the technologies of
- Protocol based intrusion prevention
- Anti-spyware technology
- Identity theft protection
- Personal firewall (application and system level)
- Local vulnerability assessment (based on eEye's
Retina Network Security Scanner)
These integrated layers of protection work hand-in-hand to provide the most comprehensive protection from targeted and propagated attacks, offering:
Business Continuity- Blink allows enterprises to defer patching until regularly scheduled maintenance cycles, saving millions of dollars in lost business disruption and the associated IT resource drain caused by “panic” patching. Blink also provides organizations the ability to secure operating systems that are no longer supported by their software vendors.
Policy Compliance– Blink can be configured to ensure specific policies (e.g. HIPAA, SOX) are always in effect on individual systems, providing enterprises with a centrally deployed, centrally managed means to guarantee policy compliance, even for networks with hundreds of thousands of machines.
Complete Security for Borderless Networks- Blink provides the means to isolate and evaluate each machine prior to its reconnection to the network, protecting remote and mobile workers who unintentionally acquire vulnerabilities “in the wild” and introduce them into the corporate network once they reconnect, bypassing perimeter-level network security.
System Availability- Blink is unique in that it focuses on the methods of exploitation to protect users from attacks leveraging yet unknown vulnerabilities. This enables Blink to stop the attack before it infects the system without having to identify the unique signature of the attack itself, and therefore keep businesses up and running.
For those interested in protecting corporate systems with Blink, an evaluation version is available for download on eEye's Website at Blink.
