Leading Enterprise Security Vendor Offers Every Piece of Required Security Technology for the Enterprise Desktop in a Single Unified Client Security Solution
ALISO VIEJO, Calif. — eEye Digital Security([R]), the leading developer of system security software and the foremost contributor to security research and innovation, today announced the latest version of Blink([R]) Professional, its award-winning endpoint security technology. eEye is combining its own anti-virus dynamic heuristics technology with ’sandboxing’ technology from leading anti-virus vendor Norman Data Defense to complete Blink Professional 3.0 as a single, small-footprint agent, incorporating multi-layered security methods to protect against both known and unknown vulnerabilities in real-time, thus making it the last security product enterprises and SMBs will need to purchase to stop 100 percent of malware attacks, regardless of signatures or patch updates.
"The notion of standalone security products is dead," said Marc Maiffret, eEye’s founder and CTO. "Customers don’t want to be nickel-and-dimed to death and are frustrated over the pricing, lack of integration and added systems management costs of using multiple tools. Enterprises need integration in order to have a complete security solution and the addition of Norman’s anti-virus technology pushes Blink Professional even further ahead as the industry’s most comprehensive unified client security product."
Deployed as a software agent on a Windows-based server, desktop PC or laptop, Blink Professional leverages multiple layers of protection–more so than any other endpoint security product–to shield individual digital assets from attacks and keep systems up and running. Blink Professional delivers the industry’s most comprehensive endpoint security for attacks that are affecting users today as an integrated, optimized single agent in order to reduce the memory and computing resources needed. Blink Professional also serves as a platform to which future security functionality can be added, effectively making it the last security agent that IT has to install and manage. In addition, Blink Professional can be deployed and managed from a central location, making it ideal for distributed network environments.
Blink Professionaldelivers the most comprehensive and non-intrusive endpoint protection offering available today, combining and integrating the following proven technologies:
* Anti-virus/anti-malware/anti-spyware
* Protocol-based, host intrusion prevention system (HIPS)
* Protection from application and service buffer overflow attempts
* Anti-phishing and identity theft protection
* Stateful system and application firewalls
* Location-aware and roll-based group policy management
* Policy-based control over access to applications, system resources, registry and removable storage devices
* Local vulnerability assessment based on eEye’s Retina([R]) Network Security Scanner
* Attack and event reporting through integration with eEye’s REM([TM]) Security Management Console
"Blink Professional, as the industry’s first unified client security product, demonstrates how eEye is rethinking the basic assumptions about endpoint security–how it’s integrated, how it’s sold and how it evolves over time. Blink Professional incorporates all of the technology an enterprise needs at a fraction of a company’s annual renewal cost for their existing security agents, allowing a company to reallocate those funds to IT projects that are more core to their business," said Ross Brown, eEye’s CEO. "Organizations who are only protecting themselves with bloated anti-virus and firewalls have held off long enough; now’s the time to make the switch to utilize multiple layers of technology that provide a complete solution. For organizations who have realized some of the benefits of layered security, this is an opportunity to replace multiple vendors with one solution that allows IT departments to secure their networks more efficiently and cost-effectively."
The integrated layers of endpoint security in Blink Professional are designed and built to work hand-in-hand to provide the most comprehensive protection from targeted and propagated attacks. It protects network assets and endpoint devices from both known and undefined vulnerabilities through periodic vulnerability assessments and non-intrusive process activity monitoring, helping to eliminate zero-day attacks. Blink Professional stops viruses, spyware, malware, trojans, keystroke loggers, worms and remote exploits while assisting in the enforcement of IT and policy compliance.
A unique aspect of eEye’s product policy is that customers receive new security functionality without being charged extra for those innovations. eEye’s existing Blink 2.5 customers have been automatically upgraded to Blink 3.0, receiving virus and expanded malware protection at no extra cost.
