A security boost for WLANs. (New Products).

Wireless networks are convenient, but inviting to hackers. Early this year, security consultants discovered 575 vulnerable wireless networks that could easily be hacked into on college campuses. But never fear: You can protect your campus with Funk Software's Odyssey Client version 2.0, the newest version of the company's secure 802.1x access client. New features include: pre-configuration tools that allow network managers to roll out WLAN security and connection settings to all clients, with no user involvement required; auto-scan network lists allowing users to move seamlessly between networks; and sophisticated and flexible network logon capabilities. Also new is support for wired 802.1x access. Odyssey Client costs $50 per machine. For more details, visit www.funk.com.
