AUTOMATED 802.11 WIRELESS SECURITY SOFTWARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD FROM CODE RED SYSTEMS
Jerusalem – September 18th - Code Red Systems, a provider of wireless security solutions, announced today the availability for limited free download of the AirBlock 802.11 Wireless Security Software for residential and small business networks.
The AirBlock software-only solution enhances wireless security by implementing key rollover on new and legacy 802.11 equipment. This Beta version automatically configures both wireless cards and access points to operate securely, accepting encrypted data only. The software further overcomes known security weaknesses by automatically changing encryption keys every 10 minutes. Not only does this ensure user privacy, but also prevents unauthorized access to wireless broadband Internet connections.
While most 802.11 security solutions require dedicated servers or hardware upgrades, AirBlock is a user-friendly software-only solution, which can be easily installed by even the most novice user. The Beta version currently available is compatible with approximately 50 leading wireless cards and the most popular access points of leading vendors such as Cisco, Linksys, Netgear and Proxim.
The software was released by Code Red Systems, an Israeli software developer whose team has extensive military and civilian data security experience. “We are very pleased to introduce AirBlock as the first software-only solution which provides automatic configuration and enhanced standards based security without a RADIUS Server or hardware upgrade,” said Drew Tick, co-founder and CEO of Code Red. “Now home and small business users can enjoy safe wireless computing in a manner that is both simple and affordable”.
The software is currently being tested by equipment vendors, Chip makers, broadband Internet providers and security software companies in the US, Europe and Israel. It is anticipated that the product will be available commercially during the first quarter of 2004.
The download will be free for a limited time only, until a more robust commercial version is ready for release. The AirBlock software can be found at http://www.code-red.biz/airblock.htm as well as selected download sites.
