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."
