Network Magic announced a package of security enhancements for consumers with wireless and wired home networks, and introduced a free version, Network Magic Basic, which includes wireless intruder protection. As more homes get connected to the Internet via broadband connections, consumer interest in secure home networks to share photos, files, printers and manage the growing number of consumer devices is growing rapidly. But as home networks go wireless most are open and unsecured due to the complexities associated with setting up, maintaining, and monitoring wireless security. As a result, many home networks will be plagued by slower Internet speeds and potential exposure of files, photos, and personal information to intruders and piggybackers.
