Sana Security Announces Wireless Protection Solution

SAN MATEO, Calif. – November 29, 2006 – Sana Security, Inc., a security software company, today announced Primary Response Air Cover, a standalone product for PCs that provides broad threat protection of online identity and sensitive data from wireless exploits such as sniffing, hijacking and malware, including viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware and adware. The downloadable solution protects the growing mobile workforce across a number of connection profiles, including home, work or on the road, against malicious access points or ad-hoc connections, maintaining a high-level of client integrity. The self-configuration capability within Primary Response Air Cover enables automatic detection of various connections and configures itself over a period of time requiring little interaction from the user.

“The Internet is dramatically evolving with increasing activity around individual and group collaboration, pushing users to be connected wherever and whenever they can," said Monte Robertson, President and CEO, Software Security Solutions.  "Mobile computing presents almost unlimited opportunities for connecting and conducting these activities. Assurance that these connections are as secure as possible requires users to become more proactive in implementing deterrence methods beyond traditional measures.  Primary Response Air Cover is designed to educate mobile business and individual users about practicing safe wireless connectivity while making sure the connections made do not threaten their personal identity or digital information.”

Laptop computer sales are growing year over year in the private sector as well as the enterprise¹. In a recent Gartner survey of over 2,000 mobile professionals, it was reported that 25% used hot spots when traveling and over two-thirds of those surveyed used Wi-Fi at least once a day. Additionally, in a study of almost 2,500 access points in Indianapolis, presented at the Workshop on the Economics of Information Security at the University of Cambridge on June 26, 2006, researchers found that 46 percent were not running any form of encryption². Primary Response Air Cover forges the gaps in wireless security and addresses the complexities involved with mobile computing by automatically detecting threats that target wireless networks, thereby preventing inadvertent and unauthorized wireless connections. This solution not only mitigates risks associated with wireless connections, but also adds an additional layer of protection for personal identity and data to augment anti-malware solutions. .

“There are many solutions available, but there has been a gap of products that can be installed on the PC to address Wi-Fi threats” said Joseph McKay, Jr., CTO of Digital Business Solutions. “It's about time somebody did the right thing. With Primary Response Air Cover, Sana now provides all my customers with what they need for complete mobile security.”

Targeted at both consumers and the mobile workforce, Primary Response Air Cover includes basic tutorials that are built into the product to assist in educating users about the importance of implementing wireless security. Sana Security departs from complex approaches to improve wireless risk levels and offers:

• Mobile flexibility with profiles to enable protection for users whether they are at home, at work or away, providing the ability to enable or disable interfaces manually and display all connection interfaces
• Event notification which provides the ability to adjust the various profiles to configure the right connection to maximize protection
• Ease-of-use that includes profile switching to meet connection requirements, automatic threat level assessment and intelligent auto-configuration for seamless setup

"Over the last few years the motivation of hackers has changed dramatically from fame-driven attacks to fortune-driven and as such the attack vectors have evolved as well, becoming much more targeted,” said Timothy Eades, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Sana Security. “As laptop computers continue to increase in popularity and targeted attacks are becoming common practice, protecting PCs against wireless threats is becoming more important as users are taking their digital lifestyle and job-related data on the road with them and across unsecured networks."

Primary Response Air Cover is the newest addition to the Sana Security product family. This standalone product combines ease-of-use for the wireless experience with flexibility of configuration for secure access points and notification of potential threats to the wireless connection.

Primary Response Air Cover is available now and can be purchased and downloaded for $24.95 at www.sanasecurity.com or by calling 1-866-900-SANA for further information.
