July 31, 2007; 07:26 AM With a mission to create products to keep networks free from
exploitable software, eEye Digital Security® today announced it will
ship its first hardware security appliance focused on unified threat
management for the SMB and enterprise markets. The REM® Security
Management Appliance 1505 is a powerful 1U rack-mountable appliance
that saves IT administrative overhead with quick deployment of
integrated vulnerability and security incident management capabilities
for their organization.
Embedded with Microsoft SQL Sever 2005 Workgroup Edition, the REM
Security Management Appliance 1505 (REM-1505) is the company’s first
appliance to consolidate eEye’s security management and vulnerability
assessment into a single unit. In addition, the REM-1505 uses the
Windows 2003 Server embedded platform, which has been hardened to
conform to the U.S. Department of Defense standard known as the "Gold"
Security Technical Implementation Guide for hardening Windows.
The REM-1505 provides security incident management, vulnerability
assessment, vulnerability management, the ability to generate network
audits and to update its vulnerability database at the beginning of
each user session. Equipped with a base license of 256 assets, the
REM-1505 can perform vulnerability scans for up to 15,000 assets.
The REM-1505 can manage and deploy up to 5,000 Blink endpoint
security agents. Blink includes intrusion prevention and firewalls and
protects desktops from zero-day attacks, phishing, ID theft,
keylogging, worms, viruses and all variants of malware including
hijacking by botnets.
Powered by the Intel Xeon Dual-Core 2.0GHz chipset, the hardware
device will integrate the Retina® Network Security Scanner, the
industry standard for vulnerability discovery and assessment; Blink®
Professional with Antivirus endpoint security software; and the REM
Security Management Console, providing IT professionals with a single
point of visibility.
“Customers want a pre-installed security solution for their
organizations,” said Kamal Arafeh, eEye CEO. “Installation is
simplified with the eEye appliance. There are a large number of
businesses asking for an appliance-based unified threat management
solution, and given that security appliances represent a significant
portion of the security market, eEye hopes to satisfy some of this
demand by introducing advances in speed, accuracy and exploit
prevention not available until now.”
