New SRM solution from a proven network security innovator arms organizations with more complete protection, cost savings and ability to preemptively avoid network attacks

DALLAS, TX. - September 26th, 2005 - Global DataGuard, the premier provider of Security Risk Management (SRM) solutions for midsize-to-enterprise organizations, today announced it is rolling out a fully integrated, groundbreaking suite of new SRM solutions that enable organizations to immediately and economically understand where their networks are vulnerable, who's trying to attack them and what they can do to prevent network security problems.

Global DataGuard's intelligent, out-of-the-box ESP 3000 solution consists of integrated layers of security technologies that together provide unmatched risk management: IDS, IPS, behavioral analysis, event and global threat correlation, vulnerability scanning, vendor alerts, an asset database and a security dashboard. Each layer complements and augments the others, with intelligent behavioral analysis and correlation capabilities comprising the GDG difference. The result is early warnings of threats other solutions cannot see; far fewer false positives; cost savings, more thorough compliance and the ability to manage security solutions with one console.

The installation process is straightforward, and upon start-up, Retina synchronizes its vulnerability signature databases with eEye's server. When Retina opens, the main user interface provides access to four modules: the browser, tracer, miner, and scanner. The integrated Web browser lists all page elements in a tree view, and the tracer creates a traceroute and displays response times. But the miner and scanner modules are the brains of the operation. With its proprietary artificial-intelligence engine, the miner tries to mimic a hacker's behavior by attacking security weaknesses.
