Stormshield has introduced two new devices to secure Wi-Fi connections for small businesses to open their wireless networks to their customers, employees or partners while maintaining full control.
Launched as part of its Network Security Wi-Fi product range, the company says its new appliances provide a single platform to connect as well as protect all IoT and mobile devices.
There are two models available: the SN160W secures Wi-Fi connections for 10 referred users; while the SN210W (pictured) supports 20 referred users. Stormshield says each is easily deployed and guarantees implementation of a secure environment in “just a few clicks”.
The company further claims that a comprehensive set of features, once reserved only for dedicated solutions, make it easy to manage resource access accounts for individuals outside the organisation. These include Temporary Account Mode, a simplified interface which creates temporary user accounts. Since the password is generated automatically, Stormshield says the creation of these accounts can be completely delegated.
There’s also Sponsorship Mode. Here, the request to connect to the internet is sent to an internal administrator for approval. Stormshield says that creating an account is therefore no longer necessary as the entire process is automated with a simple click on the administrator’s mobile phone.
