Cirond Corporation Ships Airsafe Enterprise(TM) Network Security Solution SAN JOSE, Calif., June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cirond Corporation (OTC:CROO) (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 shipping has begun on Cirond's AirSafe Enterprise(TM) network security solution for securing its laptop computers against the network security threats caused by wireless network equipment (including "WiPhishing" and "Evil Twin" vulnerabilities). "Earlier this week we announced that the City of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada was one of the first to implement AirSafe Enterprise(TM)," stated Steven Arsenault, Executive Vice President for Business Development at Cirond Corporation. Arsenault continued, "We are finding a significant amount of interest in the banking, insurance and defense industries for this type of unique application. A recent study revealed that over 70 percent of corporate data is stored on a user's laptop if they are using one -- making the security of laptop computers in and out of the office critical. As the number of laptops grows in organizations, so does the demand from users to be able to use their wireless-enabled laptop computers on the organization's established network. Also, office organizations want to ensure their networks are secure, but they also want to ensure that wireless hackers can be prevented from using wireless capabilities from a laptop to 'hop' onto the wired network. AirSafe Enterprise(TM) is a product that can meet and exceed all of those demands." AirSafe Enterprise(TM) automatically disables the wireless radio in a notebook computer whenever the computer is plugged into a wired network. Arsenault added, "This eliminates the possibility of a user inadvertently wirelessly re-broadcasting an authorized connection to the corporate network to unauthorized users. Outside of the office, company policies can be enforced when mobile users are connecting to wireless access points at hotspots, hotels, airports or their home wireless networks. For example, some companies have strict VPN connection policies when outside of the office, but often enough, employees aren't aware that the VPN connection did not take place, therefore making them vulnerable to attack while not having their VPN enabled -- a term known as 'Naked Surfing'. AirSafe Enterprise(TM) allows network administrators to specify the VPN and the amount of time for connection. If the VPN does not connect in a specific amount of time, the user will not be allowed to access the Internet at all. Some companies only want to restrict access to access points that support WPA, however, AirSafe Enterprise(TM) allows for an entire range of wireless access protocols to be implemented. It is truly a unique weapon in the fight against wireless hacking of laptop computers."
