eEye Digital Security — Retina Security Scanner
 |
|
Network security vulnerabilities are being detected on a daily basis - over 10,000 in the last two years alone. At the same time, the window of opportunity to remediate these vulnerabilities is decreasing - from months to days. In today's complex network architectures, relying on open source tools or a simple port scanner is no longer sufficient for comprehensive vulnerability assessment. |
 |
Retina® Network Security Scanner, recognized as the industry standard for vulnerability assessment, identifies known security vulnerabilities and assists in prioritizing threats for remediation. Featuring fast, accurate, and non-intrusive scanning, users are able to secure their networks against even the most recent of discovered vulnerabilities. Users can also leverage Retina for project risk management and enforcing standards-based registry settings through custom policy audits. And, because the majority of Retina scans can be conducted without administrator rights, Retina is the easiest scanner to use, and the most cost-effective to deploy.
Retina leverages the expertise of the eEye Digital Security Research Team, incorporating the most comprehensive and up-to-date vulnerabilities database and scanning technology, which is automatically downloaded at the beginning of each Retina session. This enables security professionals to proactively secure their networks against vulnerabilities.
Features & Benefits

Fastest, Most Accurate, Non-Intrusive Security Scanner
Retina will scan an entire Class C network in less than 15 minutes. It will quickly identify security threats on every machine on your network, identifying operating systems, networked devices or custom applications. This gives security administrators a considerable time advantage over attacks leveraging known vulnerabilities, or when performing vulnerability testing activities. Retina does not use exploit code and typically does not require administrative rights to function, thereby allowing for completely non-intrusive scans across the network where applications or services are not impacted as part of your vulnerability assessment process.
Superior Research Team Contributes to Better Security Scanner
No security vendor can match the technical expertise of the eEye Research Team, having discovered more high-risk vulnerabilities than all other research groups combined. The intellectual capital amassed through this research team is continually being added to Retina’s scanning capabilities and contributes to each new version release.
Best Practices Vulnerability Assessment Workflow
Retina guides users through the logical steps of discovering assets, performing audits for known vulnerability and configuration issues, and then recommending remediation actions to address the identified vulnerabilities. Retina Remediation Manager may then be configured to automatically prioritize and remediate each of the identified vulnerabilities. Your entire vulnerability management process will then be documented through either the included reporting functionality of Retina, or further augmented through the extended reporting capabilities of REM Security Management Console to achieve corporate and regulatory compliance for network security.
