For Immediate Release May 25, 2000 eEye Digital Security Releases World's First Security Software that Thinks Like a Hacker User-Friendly Retina Scans, Monitors, Alerts and Automatically Fixes Network Security Vulnerabilities (CORONA DEL MAR, CA) eEye Digital Security (www.eEye.com), a division of eCompany, announced today the release of Retina - an unparalleled network security product for Microsoft Windows NT platform. Retina is currently available for download at http://www.eEye.com. Retina is the first security software application with state-of-the-art artificial intelligence features that allow it to think like a hacker (CHAM - Common Hacking Attack Methods). Thus, while all of the other security scanners on the market are primarily looking for known vulnerabilities, Retina looks for known and unknown vulnerabilities, giving users the most comprehensive network security analysis possible. Retina also includes an auto-update feature, which provides continuous update of its modules, allowing users to keep pace with the latest security vulnerabilities. eCompany's Chief Hacking Officer, Marc Maiffret, described Retina as a virtual 24 hours, seven days a week network security guard. "Retina is the first network security software system that thinks like a hacker and works like an around-the-clock human network security analyst," explained Maiffret. "Unlike other network vulnerability scanning tools on the market today, Retina has real-time security auditing and testing capabilities. The system also includes built-in artificial intelligence features designed to handle 'what if' and 'in case of' scenarios." Also setting it apart from other network security scanners is Retina's "Fix-It" technology, a feature that allows for the automatic correction of common system security issues, such as registry settings, file permissions and more. This feature allows system administrators to solve the more common security problems with a single click, enabling them to focus on more complex systems issues. Retina's vulnerability auditing modules are designed for the following systems and services: NetBIOS, HTTP, CGI and WinCGI, ISAPI and ASP, FTP, DNS, DoS vulnerabilities, POP, SMTP and LDAP, TCP/IP and UDP, Registry, Services, Users and Accounts, Password vulnerabilities, Publishing extensions, Database Servers, Firewalls, Routers and Proxy Servers. Because of Retina's open architecture, users can also develop their own vulnerability tests and auditing modules in the programming language of their choice. Retina features an easy-to-use, graphical user-interface to control all aspects of scanning and reporting. In addition, Retina features a wizard interface, which allows users to create custom audits. The product's Smart Reporting feature allows systems administrators to access, read and print security test results with ease.
