eEye Digital Security announces the availability of Blink 4.0, now with Vista and Windows 2008 support, to its popular and award-winning endpoint protection platform.
(Irvine, CA) June 2, 2008 — eEye Digital Security (ww.eeye.com), an expert in integrated security and threat management solutions, today announced the availability of Blink 4.0, now with Vista and Windows 2008 support, to its popular and award-winning endpoint protection platform.
Blink 4.0 combines multiple layers of endpoint security capabilities and leverages a host-based intrusion prevention engine that dynamically collects and incorporates new threat data in real time. Blink 4.0 also enables users to have centralized policy control over applications, system resources and removable storage devices.
Blink provides virus and spyware protection, intrusion prevention and vulnerability assessment, and system and application firewalls that protect desktops from malicious zero-day attacks, ID theft, key-logging, phishing, and variants of malware such as hijacking by botnets.
“Since its launch, Microsoft has sold over 140 million copies of Vista,” said eEye Digital CEO Kamal Arafeh. “With the additional support added to the outstanding performance of Blink 4.0, businesses can now be assured they have best-of-breed integrated threat management capabilities that are second to none.”
Available since 2004, Blink has successfully stopped 100 percent of remote intrusion attempts. It provides a complete endpoint protection platform with full-featured integrated threat management capabilities.
Independent product reviews give Blink high marks: “eEye performed best in detecting exploits. It was the clear leader in identifying client-side attacks, alerting on all of our tests,” said Information Security Magazine (November 2007).
Blink 4.0 Offers Robust Protection
The Blink 4.0 application offers a comprehensive security solution that enables companies to combat the ever escalating malware variants that are common in today’s environment. The application provides more than five discrete endpoint security applications into one Blink agent, reaping significant time savings in the process. Yet system resource requirements are less than half the memory footprint of maintaining five discrete endpoint security products. By reducing licensing and support expenses, Blink 4.0 is able to cut endpoint security costs by more than 50 percent.
Retina Appliance 651
At the recent RSA conference, eEye unveiled its Retina Appliance 651, a new network vulnerability assessment and tracking appliance that thwarts exploits and data loss attacks, analyzing operating systems, applications, and policies for malicious activity.
Combining eEye’s Retina Network Security Scanner, Iris Network Traffic Analyzer and Blink’s Host-based Intrusion Prevention solution into a single appliance, the Retina 651 detects illegal traffic and fundamental flaws in an environment and recommends the best possible action for remediation and mitigation. Available now, pricing for the Retina 651 starts at $2,495.
