eEye Digital Security, a leading developer of unified client security and vulnerability management tools, today announced that its award winning Blink Personal Edition will be available for download.

(SINGAPORE) July 11, 2007 — eEye Digital Security, a leading developer of unified client security and vulnerability management tools, today announced that its award winning Blink Personal Edition will be available for download.

Consumers in the Asia-Pacific region can now download a 365-day free trial version of Blink Personal Edition to experience the power of eEye's anti-vulnerability solution.

"Previously, the free-trial download had been available only in North America. With the strong growth seen in the Asia-Pacific region and surging demand from consumers, we have provisioned a new trial version that would allow consumers in this region to try it at no cost," said Kamal Arafeh, CEO, eEye Digital Security. "Blink Personal Internet Security includes anti-virus, anti-spyware, personal firewall and host vulnerability assessment all in one product."

Since the introduction of the free download in North America in March 2007, Blink Personal Internet Security has emerged as the most popular product download in the company's history.

eEye provides unified client security and vulnerability management tools designed from the ground up for superior protection and performance in safeguarding individuals' and companies' critical systems and confidential information.

Blink Personal is the first Internet security solution to build multiple protection layers into a small, single agent that transcends the typical 'bloatware' of today's client security. It protects users' systems and personal information with:

- Intrusion prevention and system protection from remote attacks
- Virus and spyware protection , including protection from unknown 'zero-day' attacks
- Spyware and adware detection and removal
- Anti-Phishing and Identity-theft attempt prevention
- System and Application firewalls to control remote access to your system

"Blink Personal is the first Internet security solution to expose system and application flaws that usually go under the radar," said Sean Martin, CISSP®, eEye Director of Marketing. "With its small footprint, Blink Personal includes all the protection a consumer will ever need while allowing for new features to be added incrementally without additional cost."

"Today marks a significant milestone in our company's 9 year history. With our Blink range of products winning several awards in recent years and having reached a level of maturity with Version 3.0, we are pleased to bring this product to the world's fastest-growing region: Asia-Pacific," said Kamal Arafeh. "eEye Digital Security has invested millions in developing its unique range of products. Now used by over 9,000 companies world-wide we feel that this is the right time to introduce our products to the Asia-Pacific market as demand for comprehensive anti-Vulnerability solutions is soaring."

Professional and Personal editions
From today, eEye Digital Security's Blink Professional Edition with Anti-virus and Blink Personal Edition with Anti-Virus will be available for sale and download for clients based in Asia-Pacific territories. Enterprises and consumers seeking leading edge anti-vulnerability solutions can look forward to enjoying the benefits of using a product, that according to the industry leading Virus Bulletin magazine, "complies with 100% detection of 'in-the-wild' viruses with zero false positives".

Designed for a range of large enterprise to small business use Blink Professional Edition is the only complete multi-layered endpoint protection solution to provide organizations with a single, low-footprint unified security client that replaces their multiple, bloated, desktop and server security agent implementations. Blink delivers integrated anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention, application and system firewalls, patented sandbox technology, and host vulnerability assessment capabilities to protect against zero-day attacks.

Designed for home and small business use, Blink Personal Edition is the only client security solution available today to provide consumers with the most protection available at a fraction of the cost of other security offerings. Blink is the only client security solution to protect users' systems from viruses, spyware, phishing attempts, identity theft, and other attacks against system vulnerabilities. Blink's unique integration of technology gives users an improvement in system performance and responsiveness while protecting against zero-day attacks. Blink Personal Edition is available as a free download and to date, since its release in mid-May 2007, it has been downloaded over 23,000 times.

In competitive pre-launch sales, Blink Professional Edition has since scored multiple key customers in the Asia-Pacific region. Already, customers are looking to replace their current anti-virus solutions with Blink's unified security clients that simply affords an improved level of Anti-Vulnerability. This is testament to the strength of eEye's world-class research and development team that has been cited with being the first at identifying vulnerabilities exploited by the world-famous Sasser and Code-Red worms.
