This innovative approach provides the following key benefits.
Zero-day attack protection1. The Web-based model eliminates the risk of obsolescence, providing zero-day attack protection. The central vulnerability database is continually updated making these changes instantly available to customers.
No more software upgrades2. The central server and vulnerability database offer the latest functionality every time users access the service, which means that customers no longer need to fix bugs and download patches or wait for the next product release.
No more hardware maintenance3. Businesses are relieved from buying and lugging expensive equipment onsite. Free from the headache of managing auxiliary infrastructure, businesses can focus on their core competence, and IT personnel can focus on their company’s daily operations rather than troubleshooting third-party software and equipment.
Pay-as-you-go4. By eliminating high upfront costs and facilitating IT cost-savings, wireless security is accessible to small- and medium-size enterprises that can afford paying for the service in easy, periodic installments.
Value-based, customizable service5. From the various features that comprise wireless vulnerability assessment and remediation, customers can subscribe to only those value propositions that benefit them. Further, customers can configure the application to customize the way it looks and behaves offering a unique user experience.
Anywhere, anytime access6. With the service available via any Web browser, users can monitor the wireless security posture of any of their facilities without leaving their desk or from anywhere else on the Internet; direct or VPN access to their corporate network is not needed. User access can of course be controlled by system administrators by defining different privileges.
Scalability7. The service provisioning is fully distributed and scalable. Multiple subscribers can simultaneously access their wireless security portal via identical instances hosted on multiple servers.
