eEye's Blink Protects Against Phishing Schemes

ALISO VIEJO, CA, Jan 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
eEye Digital Security(R), a leading developer of IT security, host-based
intrusion
prevention and PC security tools, today announced that its Blink(R) antivirus
software product protects end users and networks from malware threats associated
with phishing schemes and email spoofing.

A survey conducted in the 2nd half of 2007 by research firm Gartner revealed
that
phishing attacks escalated dramatically during the year. The research
highlighted that such attacks often morph into attacks that deliver malware to
consumer and enterprise desktops. According to Gartner, more than $3 billion was
lost to phishing in 2007.

The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) defines so-called 'phishing' as "a
form of online identity theft that employs both social engineering and
technical subterfuge to steal consumers' personal identity data and financial
account credentials." The number of unique phishing reports received by APWG in
September 2007 was 38,514. Targeted brands hijacked -- usually popular ones
such as Chase, eBay and PayPal -- numbered 92 in the same period. And the
country hosting the most phishing websites is the United States. More
information, including how to report a suspected scam, can be found at
www.antiphishing.org.

"Finding who you can trust is getting more difficult for everyone online
today,"
said Kamal Arafeh, eEye Digital Security CEO. "The best defense against phishing
is to install a highly reviewed comprehensive solution like Blink, which will
block attempts to capture personal data. Users will gain peace of mind in
knowing that Blink will protect them from bogus HTML pages."

eEye's Blink product additionally provides virus and spyware protection,
intrusion prevention and firewalls that protect desktops from zero-day attacks,
ID
theft, keylogging, worms, viruses and variants of malware such as hijacking
by botnets.

Blink offers multiple protection layers built into a single lightweight
agent,
proactively protecting systems and confidential information
with:

-- Vulnerability Assessment -- Defines, identifies and classifies the
security risks or vulnerabilities in a computer's operating system and
applications.

-- Intrusion Prevention -- Analyzes the content of network traffic to
block malicious data and allow legitimate traffic to be processed. This
includes both intrusions, such as attacks from outside the organization,
and misuse, such as attacks from within the organization.

-- System and Application Firewalls -- Controls the network activity of
systems and installed applications.

-- Virus, Spyware, Phishing, and Botnet Protection -- Performs in-memory
protection and disk scanning for computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses,
spyware, botnets, and blended threats by checking each process and
application before being loaded.

-- System Protection -- Provides proactive, host-based security against
day zero attacks and offers protection against buffer overflow and memory-
based attacks.

-- Identity Theft Protection -- Identifies and responds to attempts to
deceive a user with misleading HTML and XML in web pages and email.

-- Network-Aware Policies -- Dynamically manage policies and
configuration settings based on physical network location.
