City Of Victoria Buys Cirond AirSafe Enterprise(TM) Solution to
Secure Laptop Computers Against Wireless Network Security Threat
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cirond
Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CROO), a global provider of
network security solutions that protect wired and wireless networks
against the rapidly growing threat arising from the deployment of
unauthorized wireless devices, today announced that the City of
Victoria, located in British Columbia, Canada, has purchased
Cirond's AirSafe Enterprise(TM) network security solution for
securing its laptop computers against the network security threats
caused by wireless network equipment (including the "WiPhishing"
and "Evil Twin" vulnerabilities). Steven Arsenault, Executive Vice
President for Business Development at Cirond Corporation, said that
many governments and corporations are finding themselves in a
situation similar to that of the City of Victoria - facing demand
from users to be able to use their wireless-enabled laptop
computers on the organization's established and secure wired
network, but wanting to ensure that wireless hackers can be
prevented from using the wireless capabilities of the laptop to
"hop" onto the wired network. The City of Victoria, Canada's most
westerly city, is set in the midst of some of the most spectacular
natural beauty in the world. The City combines the formality of
afternoon tea with the exhilaration of an ocean whale- watching
adventure; the exquisite and delicate beauty of its many fragrant
and colorful gardens with the awe-inspiring untouched beauty of its
wilderness. Although the City of Victoria attracts tens of
thousands of visitors per year from the United States and around
the world, it still faces the same security risks as any other
city. Now, armed with AirSafe Enterprise(TM), Victoria can prevent
the wireless laptop security risk from happening at all. AirSafe
Enterprise(TM) automatically disables the wireless radio in a
notebook computer whenever the computer is plugged into a wired
network. "This eliminates the possibility of a user inadvertently
wirelessly re-broadcasting an authorized connection to the
corporate network to unauthorized users," stated Arsenault. About
