Retina Protection Agent - Local Scanning Agent
The Retina Protection Agent (RPA) closes the security gap created by systems that can’t be reached with remote vulnerability assessments alone by providing a lightweight agent for local vulnerability assessment, continuous zero-day vulnerability monitoring, and intrusion prevention. Get complete risk discovery even for systems that are offline or disconnected from the network or ‘exception’ systems that can’t be changed due to external regulations. And, with RPA, you get an additional layer of protection with continuous zero-day vulnerability monitoring and intrusion prevention.
-
Local Vulnerability Assessment: Provides local vulnerability assessment capabilities to close the gap created by systems that can’t be reached with a remote vulnerability assessment alone.
-
Zero-Day Protection and Intrusion Prevention: Provides zero-day protection where a vendor has not yet created signatures or patches to protect against vulnerabilities in their operating system or application.
-
Storage Protection: Prevents data leakage by regulating usage of USB and Firewire storage devices.
-
System Protection: Provides control over which applications are allowed to function by authorizing or denying program file execution. Plus, registry protection prevents specific registry settings from being modified, stopping malicious programs from infecting or modifying systems.
-
Centralized Visibility: Provides full visibility into both remote and local vulnerabilities through the Retina CS Management Console.
-
Strengthen security posture and ease the burden of regulatory compliance with local vulnerability assessment where local credentials and more frequent scans are required.
-
Reduce risk with intrusion prevention and zero-day protection where a vendor has not yet created patches to protect against vulnerabilities in their operating system or application.
-
End data theft and leakage by regulating USB and firewire access, preventing transfer of sensitive or confidential data to personal storage devices.
-
Improve system protection by setting policy over which applications are allowed to function and preventing modification of specific registry settings.
