(PRWEB) November 8, 2006 -- New Secure Wireless Encryption Software from Protexx (TM) allows safe access to New York City hotspots.

NYCwireless, a non-profit organization that builds free Wi-Fi hotspots in parks and public spaces in New York City, now offers Protexx encryption as a security option solution for all of their members and hotspot users to help prevent against hacking and identity theft.

Traditionally, we encourage people to use secure web browsing, email and other tools when using ours and other public hotspots. But not all internet services, such as some webmail systems, provide secure connections. Using a high-bit rate VPN can help ensure that all of the internet sites you visit using when a public hotspot are protected from wireless sniffers and eavesdroppers.

Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWeb) November 8, 2006 -- NYCwireless, (www.nycwireless.net) a non-profit organization that builds free Wi-Fi hotspots in parks and public spaces and enables the growth of free, public wireless Internet access in New York City now offers Protexx Secure Information Transmission Highway (S.I.T.H.) security solution for all of its members and hotspot users as an option for protection against hackers and identity theft.

Wi-Fi hotspot Internet users from private individuals to major corporations now have the ability to encrypt their e-mail, web, and other data transmissions instantly with a simple download.

As almost every industry and millions of individuals struggle with identity theft and information protection problems, Protexx (TM) Encryption Software's ability to protect against unauthorized data eavesdropping adds a significant level of security for individuals wishing to ensure safe usage of public Wi-Fi hotspots. NYCwireless Executive Director Dana Spiegel says, "Traditionally, we encourage people to use secure web browsing, email and other tools when using ours and other public hotspots. But not all internet services, such as some webmail systems, provide secure connections. Using a high-bit rate VPN can help ensure that all of the internet sites you visit using when a public hotspot are protected from wireless sniffers and eavesdroppers."

Peter Letizia, President of the S.I.T.H. technology says that. "With PC theft and other related crimes topping 67 billion dollars last year, it is just a matter of time before hackers, hijackers and identity thieves turn their attention to the virtually unguarded wireless hotspot arena. Without hardware or appliances our Secure Information Technology Highway (TM) ensures that server, client and remote communications happen within a secured environment with more than 10X the security level of today's standards. You have the flexibility of choosing multiple encryption algorithms (256, 3DES and our own 2048 bit Dynamic Encryption)".

When coupled with an approved firewall infrastructure, S.I.T.H. provides the ability to create a Virtual Security Network (VSN), the next generation of enterprise security for data in motion.
