eEye Announces Industry First Appliance to Manage 200 Blink Security Agents

New product makes integrated security and threat management simple to help maximize organizations limited resources

(Irvine, CA) January 27, 2009 — To address the evolving security landscape, eEye Digital Security (www.eeye.com), an expert in integrated security and threat-management solutions, today announced the availability of the Blink Security Management Appliance 200, the first and only mini appliance designed to deploy and manage up to 200 computer desktops secured by eEye’s Blink Professional security software.

The appliance is ideal for small-to-medium sized businesses looking to meet regulatory compliance and avoid agent overload and the labor intensive task of having to manually configure and set up dedicated servers and databases to manage multiple security agents.

“Considering recent changes in regulatory compliancy, malware specifically designed to disable endpoint security solutions, and the rise in attacks focused on social engineering and PC applications, the need for centralized management, even for the smallest business, is more critical than ever,” said eEye CEO Kamal Arafeh,. “Businesses are concerned with ways to offset the cost of a management server while still providing full functionality for even the most stringent regulatory compliance.”

As a single lightweight client, the Blink 200 delivers integrated multi-layered desktop protection against known exploits, zero-day attacks and all other attack vectors. The Blink 200 enables regulatory compliance in a single form factor solution and is ideal for environments with up to 200 Windows personal computers and for businesses requiring complete, multi-layered, managed endpoint-protection or vulnerability-management using agent-based host technology.

eEye has optimized the Blink 200 appliance with its REM Security Management Console to offer unrivaled threat-management and protection via managed firewalls as well as anti-virus, anti-spyware, host-based intrusion prevention, and vulnerability assessments.

The appliance also combines all licenses, software, and deployment packages into a single solution to offer complete desktop protection as a platform.

  • Ready for rapid deployment, power on to full protection in 15 minutes
  • Fully packaged and configured with Blink Professional Agents
