Pure Networks, provider of networking software, has introduced its new Pure Networks Security Scan tool. Pure Networks Security Scan tool is mainly an online free wireless network security scan that helps anyone check for security issues on their individual computers and their wireless networks.

 

The tool is perfect for home users, as well as those in small office/home office (SOHO) environments. Leveraging the tool, users will be able to assess potential network security problems.

 

The tool first assesses a user's network for potential issues and vulnerabilities and then provides a "score card" with detailed self-help information about how to fix wireless network security problems that are network related and security problems.

 

“As experts in network security, Pure Networks understands that most users don't have the time, inclination or often the knowledge to manage and secure their home or small office networks. Similarly, having a separate tool for network security and computer security is a hassle,” said Jeff Erwin, CEO of Pure Networks. “To address this issue, we created a free tool that gives everyday computer users the ability to better understand the security on their PCs, the security of their networks, and what they need to do to address risk areas."

 

Pure Networks Security Scan usually looks for unknown computers or devices on the network, use of a default password for the wireless network router, changed or opened ports on the wireless network router and manipulated settings that redirect to malicious Web sites.
