Wireless network provider Xirrus has introduced Xirrus EasyPass Personal Wi-Fi, a new feature now available in all Xirrus cloud managed networks designed to safeguard users and their data when accessing public Wi-Fi, guest networks, and hotspot environments.
EasyPass Personal Wi-Fi allows users to create a secure personal network via a simple, one-time process that authenticates all devices. 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.
“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 identity theft. Until now there hasn’t been a wireless solution to address this threat, says Shane Buckley, CEO, Xirrus. “Now establishments that have deployed Xirrus Wi-Fi can deliver the safest connection available and protect their users from cybercrime.”
Xirrus EasyPass Personal is included at no charge with all XMS Cloud deployments and is now available. To learn more about EasyPass Personal, visit http://www.xirrus.com/easypass-personal/.
