SAN FRANCISCO, CA–( EMWNews – April 8, 2008) – AirTight® Networks, the global leader

for wireless vulnerability management, announced today at the opening of RSA 2008 in San

Francisco the launch of SpectraGuard® Online, the

world’s first wireless vulnerability management solution offered as

software-as-a-service (SaaS). With this launch, AirTight is the only

wireless vulnerability management company to offer a flexible, end-to-end

solution that gives customers visibility into their wireless security

posture and a choice in how they manage it — using either a complete

on-site wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) or a

modular hosted service.

The unique AirTight wireless security service is offered as three

plug-and-play modules — Vulnerability Assessment, Regulatory Compliance

and Vulnerability Remediation — allowing customers to choose what they

need and to easily add additional capabilities as their needs expand or

their business grows. SpectraGuard Online is available as a pay-as-you-go

subscription model that does not compromise on features, functionality or

scalability. Using SpectraGuard Online customers:

--  Incur no capital expenditures

--  Pay only for the wireless security features needed

--  Have an affordable and predictable total cost of ownership

--  Do not need to be concerned with hardware or software obsolescence

    

SpectraGuard Online is a true ‘lean-back’ solution. The customer installs

pre-configured wireless sensors (plug-and-play), responds to a few wireless

setup questions and, within 72 hours, begins to receive wireless

vulnerability reports by email. Customer data is hosted in a SAS70

certified co-location facility designed for security and high availability.

The company is demonstrating the service at its booth # 445 at RSA and

offering free 30 day trials.

“As wireless becomes a business utility, the question is not how to keep

wireless out, but how to reap its benefits and efficiencies while managing

wireless vulnerabilities,” said David King, chairman and CEO of AirTight.

“With this new initiative, Airtight is expanding on its leadership position

in the WIPS market to provide robust wireless vulnerability management to a

broader market which has been ignored or underserved.”

AirTight recognized that the WLAN market needed more than a

one-size-fits-all approach to security. The company noted that a full WIPS

solution was too complex for the needs of some customers who were looking

to either meet compliance regulations such as PCI DSS for example, or

understand their wireless risks in a cost effective way. SpectraGuard

Online overcomes the cost and complexity barriers to that challenge with

pricing as low as two dollars per day and an on-demand delivery model.

“I can’t stress enough how important network and wireless security are —

but, unfortunately, IT capital budgets can feel a degree of strain when the

required solution is implemented,” said Craig Mathias, a Principal with the

wireless and mobile advisory firm Farpoint Group (Ashland, MA). “I’m really

excited about the potential of SpectraGuard Online, which offers proven

wireless security capabilities in an amazingly cost-effective package.”

A recent report from Gartner stated, “Security as a service can be procured

through operating budgets rather than capital expenditure which lowers

switching costs, involves little or no operating costs, provides

functionality improvements without the need to upgrade infrastructure and

this lowers the total cost to deliver security controls or functions.”(1)

“As a public company, we went through our first SOX compliance audit last

year which was really difficult and time consuming because we had to

demonstrate that all our access points were configured the way we said they

were,” said Wayne Warthen, CTO of LoopNet. “We had to have a couple of

technicians working for several days to document this. With SpectraGuard

Online — you glance at the reports, you know if you have an issue to deal

with, you print them, file them and you move on knowing you can validate

your vulnerability status to any auditor.”

“We are a no Wi-Fi shop but have been discussing allowing guest Wi-Fi

access and were uncertain how to control and secure it. With SpectraGuard

Online I now have a control mechanism,” said Jim DeNardi, director of IT,

Andreini & Company.

How SpectraGuard Online Works

Architected using a multi-tenant architecture, plug and play sensors,

remote upgrade capabilities, and web user-interface, SpectraGuard Online is

ready to meet the need for low administration, high value security

services. The service is offered in three discrete modules, which can be

purchased separately or together, depending on the customers needs.

Wireless Vulnerability Assessment allows customers to:

--  Discover and prioritize all wireless assets on a 24/7 basis

--  Perform wireless policy audits

--  Generate wireless vulnerability reports with one click

    

Regulatory Compliance allows customers to:

--  Generate wireless compliance reports for regulations such as HIPAA,

    PCI, SOX, GLBA, DOD Directive 8100.2 etc with just one click

--  Add compliance reports for other standards by defining custom reports

--  Schedule reports on demand for periodic delivery

    

Wireless Vulnerability Remediation provides:

--  24/7 notification of wireless vulnerabilities as they occur

--  Protection from breaches by blocking wireless vulnerabilities and

    security threats

--  Location tracking of security threats on a floor map with pinpoint

    accuracy

--  A visual view of wireless signal spillage from corporate APs
