eEye Blink End-Point Vulnerability Prevention

Networks have evolved from traditional client and server architectures to now include a myriad of platforms and components, including support for mobile, wireless and remote assets. These diverse platforms bring multiple profiles and configurations, all of which must comply with corporate standards and policies. As network architectures have become more complex, so have the challenges they face. Threats have changed and rapidly propagating worms – such as Blaster and Sasser - and viruses wreak havoc when they spread within the perimeter and across the enterprise infrastructure, resulting in significant financial loss. To better combat these evolving threats, organizations must look beyond traditional firewalls and intrusion detection systems, which weren't designed for internal security threats. Each individual device must have proactive protection to shield it from costly attacks and ensure business continuity.

Blink is eEye Digital Security's end-point vulnerability prevention solution. As the industry's first security solution to incorporate multiple layers of proven technologies, Blink addresses today's most pressing security challenge: preventing the attack. No longer is shielding assets from known attacks sufficient; they must be protected from the vulnerability, becoming resilient to attacks, even when patches aren't available or installed. Blink combines and extends the technologies of: intrusion prevention, system and application firewalls, eEye's Retina Network Security Scanner and specialized, non-intrusive process activity monitoring modules to deliver the most comprehensive threat protection solution available.

These integrated protection layers work hand-in-hand to provide the most powerful protection of individual digital assets from targeted and mass propagated attacks. Blink's protection is designed to even protect assets from "zero-day" attacks leveraging previously unknown vulnerabilities where patching is not an option. Blink thus increases operational efficiency and ensures business continuity by:
  • Protecting from known and undefined vulnerabilities, through periodic local vulnerability assessment and process activity monitoring
  • Extending the timetable to remediate, allowing organizations to patch during normally scheduled maintenance windows, rather than during inconvenient and costly intervals
  • Enforcing policy compliance, constantly auditing corporate security standard configurations to reduce risk
To support large-scale deployments, eEye provides a comprehensive management infrastructure suitable for use across large, distributed networks. Through Blink's Security Console, administrators can perform comprehensive asset discovery, deploy Blink agents throughout an enterprise, and administer customized configuration settings with no impact to end-users. Additionally, Blink seamlessly integrates with Active Directory as a means to manage the identities and relationships that make up network environments, father leveraging enterprise investments.

Blink, when combined with the REM™ Security Management Console, delivers a unified management interface that allows security professionals to centrally collect, analyze, monitor and report on their enterprise's security posture. This powerful solution provides unified workflow capabilities to efficiently recognize network threats and attempted attacks, so they can be prevented and efficiently mitigated in a collaborative working environment.
