| Opportunity |
Hacking, credit theft and identity theft are the fastest-growing crimes in America. The use of 802.11 technology for corporate espionage and the inherent vulnerabilities of wireless LANs pose a grave danger to enterprises of all sizes. Yet the convenience and business benefits of wireless mobility continue to drive widespread enterprise adoption. Wireless VPNs are not enough. To ensure complete security, all enterprises need to deploy a layered system that includes wireless intrusion protection to keep hackers out of their networks and laptops. |
| Vision |
Bullet-proof wireless security shouldn’t be cost prohibitive. Network Chemistry aims to deliver wireless intrusion protection solutions with exceptional functionality, simplicity, and affordability for all organizations. Wireless intrusion protection systems will become a must-have component for enterprise networks, deployed as ubiquitously as firewalls today. |
