Today's complex
network architectures require a new approach to securing assets within
the perimeter, beyond the protection levels network-level firewalls and
intrusion detection systems can provide. Security for digital assets
within the perimeter are generally not secure and are frequently key
targets of computer worms that can wreak havoc throughout an enterprise
network. These critical assets need to be shielded against attacks
originating outside the corporate firewall and they must be protected
from malicious activity within the perimeter, at the workstation and
asset level.
As networks have evolved from the traditional desktop/server
configuration to now include mobile, wireless and handheld components,
the risk of security breaches and costly outbreaks has increased. With
these various new platforms come multiple user profiles and
configurations, including remote and mobile users, all of which must
comply with corporate standards and policies. The evolving network
architecture has increased the range of threats which security
professionals must now confront. Rapidly propagating worms – such as
Blaster and Sasser – and rapidly spreading viruses can result in
significant operational downtime, productivity loss and financial
impact.
To combat these evolving threats, organizations must look beyond network
level defenses, which were not designed to protect against internal
security threats. Each individual device must be protected to insure
critical business processes continue without interruption and
operational efficiency is not compromised.

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.
