SecureData Security, the local distributor of eEye Digital Security products, has announced the immediate availability of Blink 4.0, which has added Vista and Windows 2008 support to the popular and award-winning endpoint protection platform.
The new version of eEye Blink has already received acclaim from product reviewers and analysts. Blink 4.0 received a positive review in the May issue of Virus Bulletin, a widely recognised publication that is respected for its independent comparative testing of anti-virus products.
According to the review, Blink 4.0 provides a superb breadth in a single, well-designed and solid package for users that need to control and enforce a demanding and detailed security policy.
Says Andrew Ochse, product manager, SecureData: "Blink 4.0 application offers an end-to-end solution that allows companies to combat the growing number of malware variants in the wild today. It provides a complete endpoint protection platform with full-featured integrated threat management capabilities."
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 centralised 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, keylogging, phishing, and variants of malware such as hijacking by botnets.
Available since 2004, Blink has successfully stopped 100% of remote intrusion attempts.
According to the Virus Bulletin, Blink 4.0 helps companies to provide solid security from malicious code and attacks, implement a complete usage policy, and manage how a system and its user operate together. The platform also enables organisations to control access to unwanted software and Web resources and maintain hygiene standards and accountability through logging.
Other independent product reviews also 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 in its November 2007 issue.
