eEye Blink 4.0 Receives Coveted Industry Recognition in Virus Bulletin Review(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) IRVINE, CA, May 28 / MARKET WIRE/ -- eEye Digital Security (www.eeye.com), an expert in integrated security and threat management solutions, today announced that their endpoint security tool Blink 4.0 received a positive review in the May issue of Virus Bulletin. Virus Bulletin (VB) is known for carrying out independent comparative testing of anti-virus products and is widely recognized within the industry. The review states that for those requiring absolute control to enforce a demanding and detailed security policy, Blink 4.0 provides a superb breadth of power in a single, well-designed and solid package. The review focused on Blink 4.0 in the areas of Installation and Configuration, System Hardening Functions, System Protection Functions, and Help and Guidance. The review also highlighted the effectiveness of the home-user version of Blink 4.0, which offers the same full range of tools and options as the Professional version but is intended for consumers. It mentioned that the default settings of the home-user version provide a decent level of security, and how a little effort allows end users to take control of their own online security, and that "the investment in Blink 4.0 would be well worth it." Among the conclusions of the review in Virus Bulletin, Blink 4.0 is able to: -- do far more than provide solid security from malicious code and attacks; -- implement a complete usage policy; -- manage many aspects of how a system and its user operate together; -- control access to unwanted software and web resources; and -- maintain hygiene standards and accountability through logging. Further, the review points out that in order to use Blink 4.0 effectively, one does not necessarily have to be an expert. eEye provides the resources necessary at every level of the product to allow an "informed and committed" novice to effectively implement a "solid security regime on their system." "Blink 4.0 was an improvement on the award winning 3.5 version," said eEye Digital CEO Kamal Arafeh. "This review shows us that our team has succeeded at delivering a product that exceeded expectations and is able to drastically raise the bar in endpoint security." Blink 4.0 Offers Robust Protection The Blink 4.0 application offers a comprehensive security solution that enables companies to combat the ever escalating malware variants that are common in today's environment. The application provides more than five discrete endpoint security applications into a single Blink agent which allows for significant savings. Yet system resource requirements are less than half the memory footprint of maintaining five discrete endpoint security products. By reducing licensing and support expenses, Blink 4.0 is able to cut endpoint security costs by more than 50 percent. Pricing and Availability Available today, Blink 4.0 Personal edition lists for $24.95; Blink 4.0 Professional edition lists for $29 per user starting at 10 users; and Blink Enterprise edition, which includes the REM centralized management platform, lists for $25 per user starting at 100 users.
