SpriteGuard, developed by TOM Limited, is a software and hardware hybrid solution that offers a unique approach to protecting open access WiFi. The system, deployed within an access point, provides robust security measures and data-rich analytics via a cloud-based management console, making it a valuable tool for monitoring user activity.
Unlike conventional security solutions, SpriteGuard operates independently from the existing WiFi network, ensuring comprehensive protection for the entire wireless environment. This innovative approach eliminates the need to replace legacy access points, making it a seamless and cost-effective security solution.
One of the key selling points of SpriteGuard is its ability to address the false assumption held by most providers of free public WiFi access - that they are not responsible for user security beyond their own access points. This gap in security can have severe consequences for both user confidence and brand reputation. SpriteGuard aims to fill this gap by offering a total security solution to clients using free WiFi access in any facility.
With its groundbreaking approach to WiFi security, SpriteGuard has the potential to be a game-changer in the Software as Security market, and the recent £350.00K Seed Round investment from Enterprise Ventures and The North West Fund highlights investor confidence in the company's innovative solution.
