Xirrus Solves Security for Public Wi-Fi Networks With EasyPass Personal Wi-Fi
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
EasyPass Personal Wi-Fi Gives Any Establishment the Ability to Deliver Safe
Connectivity via Secure Personal Networks
THOUSAND OAKS, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 8, 2015) - Xirrus, the leading provider of
high-performance wireless networks, today announced availability of Xirrus
EasyPass Personal Wi-Fi, a key feature now available in all Xirrus cloud managed
networks that safeguards users and their data when accessing public Wi-Fi, guest
networks and hotspot environments. With this announcement Xirrus is the first
Wi-Fi provider to address the security concerns associated with connecting to
these networks, and makes secure personal Wi-Fi a reality for the first time.
In a recent Xirrus survey on Wi-Fi usage, 76 percent of people know that public
Wi-Fi is not secure, but 62 percent use it regardless of security implications.
EasyPass Personal Wi-Fi allows users to create a secure personal network via a
simple, one-time process that authenticates all devices, ensuring the data
across their platforms is safe inside the public network at all times. Unlike a
virtual private network (VPN), which encrypts end-to-end connections back to a
corporate network and requires additional software, EasyPass Personal enables
users to easily create their own secure personal network that automatically
encrypts the data on the Wi-Fi network. For the first time, businesses can
easily offer security on their public Wi-Fi networks without additional
complexity.
EasyPass Personal Wi-Fi delivers the following benefits and features:
* Safe: Devices communicate within the secure personal network
* Secure: Traffic encryption protects valuable data
* Simple: Users connect all personal devices effortlessly
* Easy: No IT required to deploy and manage for each user
"It used to be that simply providing a Wi-Fi hotspot for your customers was
enough, but that isn't the case anymore. Customers are worried about security
risks when using public Wi-Fi, while organizations want to use Wi-Fi to engage
with customers in new ways," said Nolan Greene, research analyst network
infrastructure at IDC. "With EasyPass Personal Wi-Fi, Xirrus delivers the
ability for organizations to engage their guests, students and customers while
offering secure connectivity at all times."
EasyPass Personal enables public Wi-Fi environments to reap the benefits of
short term secure Wi-Fi communications for businesses like hotels, restaurants,
retail and event venues, as well as university dormitories, assisted care
facilities and multi-tenant buildings which require longer-term use. With
EasyPass Personal, these establishments can now promote an unprecedented level
of Wi-Fi security, to offer new services, attract new business and create
customer loyalty.
"Awareness of public Wi-Fi vulnerabilities is at an all time high. Whether we
want to acknowledge it or not, every time we connect to public Wi-Fi we are
putting our data at peril and are at risk of identify theft. Until now there
hasn't been a wireless solution to address this threat, said Shane Buckley, CEO,
Xirrus. "EasyPass Personal Wi-Fi is groundbreaking for our industry. With this
introduction, Xirrus offers the first and only solution in the market that
allows a secure private connection to be created within a public Wi-Fi network.
Now establishments that have deployed Xirrus Wi-Fi can deliver the safest
connection available and protect their users from cyber crime."
Xirrus EasyPass Personal is included at no charge with all XMS Cloud deployments
and is available for shipment today. To learn more about EasyPass Personal,
