AirTight Broadens Corporate Identity as the Leader in Wireless Vulnerability Management New Look and Feel Coincides with Launch of World’s First SaaS Offering for Wireless Security Management San Francisco, CA - April 8, 2008 - At the opening of the RSA 2008 conference in San Francisco, AirTight® Networks, the established market and technology leader for wireless intrusion prevention systems (WIPS) expanded its corporate identity to a broader definition of the market to include its leadership position in wireless vulnerability management (WVM). The updated brand reflects AirTight’s growing portfolio of both product and SaaS wireless security offerings as well as the diverse needs of the marketplace as wireless technology introduces new benefits, new challenges and new threats to a larger group of industries. The launch of its new Website and logo coincides with the announcement of SpectraGuard® Online, the world’s first wireless vulnerability management solution, offered as software-as-a-service (SaaS). (See separate press release issued today.) With this launch, AirTight is the only wireless vulnerability management company to offer flexible, end-to-end solutions that give 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 hosted modular service. “As wireless becomes a business utility, the challenge for the enterprise is not how do I keep wireless out but rather how do I utilize wireless to bring efficiency and bottom line improvements to my business while managing the vulnerabilities,” said David King, chairman and CEO of AirTight. “For that reason, we felt it was important that our brand identity reflect a broader scope of capabilities that AirTight has always brought to the marketplace as well as reflecting the modern look and feel that is wireless. “AirTight has always been an innovator in the WIPS space and was the first company to offer a true wireless intrusion prevention system built from the ground up to address the unique risks wireless presents. Our patented technology has proven over and over again that security and simplicity are not mutually exclusive. As we move forward with new initiatives such as the breakthrough announcement of SpectraGuard Online, WIPS remains our heritage, but a SaaS offering is in complete alignment with AirTight’s value proposition.. AirTight is offering our customers and the broader marketplace more choices in how they manage their wireless vulnerabilities. AirTight’s solutions allow our customers to gain the security and confidence they require to take full advantage of wireless technologies for driving business value,” continued King. The new AirTight logo reflects the evolution of the company remaining a strong cube but moving to a more modern design which reflects both containing or ‘locking down’ a device or wireless environment with a cube within a cube but also having a crystalline quality that emphasizes strength in its hardness while allowing for visibility into the environment.
