Retina Network Security Scanner, the industry and government standard for multi-platform vulnerability management, identifies known and zero day vulnerabilities plus provides security risk assessment, enabling security best practices, policy enforcement, and regulatory audits.

Security Management Appliance:

The Retina Security Management Appliance integrates REM and Retina on a single appliance, providing multi-platform network discovery plus vulnerability & risk assessment, enabling centralized security best practices, policy compliance, and regulatory audits.

• Network Security Scanner Appliance - Integrated security management appliance enables prioritized policy management, patch management, and vulnerability management.
• Network Vulnerability Assessment - Security appliance identifies network vulnerabilities, application vulnerabilities, plus zero day threats.
• Network Discovery and Patch Assessment - Network appliance discovers all devices, operating systems, applications, patch levels, plus policy configurations.
• All-In-One Enterprise Security Management - Everything you need - pre-installed, pre-configured, pre-tuned - for centralized vulnerability & patch management plus security incident management.

Wasting time and money panic-patching?

Retina helps free up precious resources for other key projects by providing threat management and patch management focus. Retina identifies and prioritizes well-known and newly discovered vulnerabilities residing on connected network devices - regardless of platform. Incorporating the most comprehensive and up-to-date vulnerability technology and database while eliminating the need for administrative credentials, Retina delivers the most accurate and timely scans available - scanning an entire class C network in approximately 15 minutes.

Struggling to get an accurate view of your network - again?

Retina helps you get a handle on your entire network environment - finding devices connected outside of your formal deployment processes. Regardless of platform, Retina identifies known and rogue systems - desktops, servers, routers, and switches - then digs deeper to identify and prioritize the remediation steps for well-known and newly discovered vulnerabilities, missing operating system & application patches, and other policy-oriented exceptions residing on the network. Using the latest asset discovery standards, Retina delivers the most accurate scan results available.

Multiple security policies across multiple devices?

Retina assesses all network devices - regardless of platform, operating system, and application - to identify missing patches, mis-configurations, and other vulnerabilities. Incorporating the most comprehensive and up-to-date vulnerability technology, policy and patch checking database, and customizable scan options, Retina delivers the most complete network security scans available for your specific environment and business need.

Looking for IT Security process efficiencies?

Retina prioritizes remediation in support of business and operational efficiency, freeing up precious resources for other key projects. Retina identifies and prioritizes exceptions to corporate and regulatory policy, providing visibility and remediation guidance for missing patches, weak configurations, system vulnerabilities, and other security threats. Complete your security audits with documented actions and processes through Retina's integration with popular helpdesk systems.

Unsurpassed Vulnerability Management

Retina Network Security Scanner is a professional-grade security solution with a lengthy track record of success and industry leadership. Retina contains all the integrated security and threat management tools needed to effectively identify and remediate the network vulnerabilities that lead to exposure and malicious attacks. Retina secures networks by:

Accurately discovering all the assets in the network infrastructure including operating system platforms, networked devices, databases and third party or custom applications. Retina also discovers wireless devices and their configurations, ensuring these connections can be audited for the appropriate security settings. Additionally, Retina scans active prots and confirms the services associated with those ports.

Implementing corporate policy drive scans to audit internal security guidelines and ensure that configuration requirements are enforced and comply with defined standards. These custom scans can also assist with meeting any regulatory compliance requirements (SOX, HIPAA, GLB, PCI, etc) customers may face.

Remotely identifying system level vulnerabilities to mimic an attacker's point of view, providing information that an outsider would see about your network. These remote checks do not require administrator rights, providing an accurate assessment, with fewer resources required to scan across departments, locations or geographies.

Incorporating the most comprehensive vulnerabilities database and scanning technology available allowing users to proactively secure their networks against attacks. Retina was developed and is constantly updated by the eEye Research Team, leveraging its expertise and superior vulnerability discovery methodology. Updates are automatically uploaded at the beginning of each Retina session.

Providing a workflow approach to vulnerability management. Retina's user interface allows for multiple views and reporting options with which to analyze assessment data. This gives users the opportunity to view assets criticality correlated with complete vulnerability data. This approach allows users to effectively prioritize remediation efforts.

Features and Benefits:

Accurate Asset Discovery and Inventory - Retina discovers all the assets on a given network, including operating systems, applications, services, databases and wireless devices. Retina's advanced OS discovery utilizes ICMP, registry, NetBIOS, and the Nmap signature database, as well as eEye's proprietary OS fingerprinting for more accurate & definitive OS identification. Additionally, Retina has profiles for nearly 2,000 of the most commonly utilized ports, and allows for scanning of all 65,536 ports on a network device.

Custom Security Audits - Users can create custom audits for the enforcement of corporate security policies, including anti-virus deployments, application version control, file shearing, permissible ports and P2P, as well as enabling regulatory compliance requirements.

Remediation Assessment - Retina allows prioritized remediation through its intuitive user interface, categorizing vulnerabilities according to risk level. Integration with third party help desk and ticketing systems is a simple process. Additionally, Retina's Fix-it function can be used to remotely correct security issues such as registry settings, file permissions, etc.

Localized System Audits - Retina reconciles the input/output data on each port to determine which protocols and services are actually running, including SSL. In this way, Retina makes adjustments for custom or unconventional machine setup.

Advanced Scheduling Capabilities - Retina's scheduler function allows you to set the scanner to run on a regular basis to periodically check for vulnerabilities. Because Retina is non-intrusive, you can pre-schedule your scans without the risk of unplanned network downtime.
