- eEye Digital Security’s Retina® Network Security Scanner Selected as Finalist for the “Best Security Solution” category of the SC Awards 2006 -
(STAINES, UK) March 01, 2006 — eEye Digital Security®, a leading developer of network security and vulnerability management software solutions, as well as the industry’s foremost contributor to security research and education, is proud to announce the selection of its Retina® Network Security Scanner as a finalist for the SC Awards 2006.
The SC Magazine Awards were developed to recognise technical excellence and reflect the important role that information security professionals play in shaping the security landscape. The SC Magazine Awards 2006 have proved to be the biggest yet with over 1,300 product and service nominations from over 330 companies. "SC Magazine is one of the security industry's leading publications and is well respected by security professionals across North America, Europe and Asia. We are extremely honoured that its readers have recognised eEye’s Retina Network Security Scanner as a finalist in the “Best Security Solution” category," said Luke Brown, Vice President EMEA with eEye.
“As a consequence of the dissolving perimeter and resulting increased exposure to threats, many IT executives are realising they do not have a solid knowledge of their networks. A proactive security strategy pervades all facets of your business to provide a deeper knowledge of your network and its flaws and weaknesses. That knowledge is then leveraged for a more effective risk management approach - to decrease exposure, safeguard business critical assets and achieve compliance”, emphasised Luke Brown. He continued, “This nomination is further validation that our Retina Network Security Scanner is market leading and is a testament to its ability to improve the ease and speed by which users are able to understand, prioritise and remediate critical network security issues."
"Nominations for the SC Awards have increased phenomenally this year. Being nominated is an outstanding achievement," confirmed Ron Condon, Editor-in-Chief, SC Magazine.
