CIROND CORPORATION January 20, 2004 By: /s/ NICHOLAS MILLER -------------------------------------------- Nicholas Miller President EX-99 3 exh99-1.txt EXH 99-1 PRESS RELEASE EXHIBIT 99-1 PRESS RELEASE DATED DECEMBER 3, 2003 CIROND MAKING WIRELESS WORK [WINC MANAGER 2.0 LOGO] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Geof Wheelwright Corporate Communications Manager Cirond Corporation Tel: (866) 824-7662 CIROND WINC MANAGER 2.0 TO SHIP IN JANUARY 2004 INNOVATIVE WIRELESS MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY SOLUTION FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS-BASED NETWORKS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON JANUARY 30TH, 2004 SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA - (DECEMBER 3, 2003) - Cirond Corporation (OTCBB: CROO.ob) will begin shipping WiNc Manager 2.0, the company's flagship wireless network management and security solution, on January 30, 2004 at a price of $2500. Cirond will preview WiNc Manager 2.0 at its booth at the WiFi Planet conference in San Jose this week. WiNc Manager 2.0 is a cost-effective, Microsoft Windows-based software application that sits on the "wired" side of a company network and includes all the capabilities needed to manage small and medium-sized wireless networks. WiNc Manager 2.0 is designed for implementation by value added resellers (VARs) and network administrators - and includes 50 licenses for Cirond's innovative WiNc or Pocket WiNc "client" software (which customers can use on any Windows-based, wireless-enabled notebook, desktop, Tablet PC or handheld computer). Additional client license packs of various sizes will also be available to expand the number of users that can be supported by the system. WiNc Manager 2.0 maintains a robust, well-managed and enriched connection with all the computers being used on the wireless network. It is also provides unique and comprehensive rogue access point detection far superior to that of any other solution. Companies that use WiNc Manager can: o IMPROVE USER-LEVEL SECURITY - Cirond's compelling AutoKey technology significantly improves the existing WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key system by eliminating the requirement for users to have knowledge of the WEP key, as well as enabling WEP keys to be securely and automatically set, distributed, and frequently rotated. AutoKey is compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g implementations - and enhances WPA-based systems by automatically distributing, setting and rotating the WPA master key. o SPECIFY WHERE THEY WANT TO PROVIDE WIRELESS ACCESS - Using Cirond's unique VirtualShield technology, organizations can prevent wireless access from occurring in areas where they don't want it. VirtualShield enables location-based access - allowing organizations to tie wireless network security to physical building security. o DETECT ROGUE ACCESS POINTS - WiNc Manager offers "best-in-class" rogue access point detection - on the wired side of the network, the wireless side of the network and even at the periphery of the network beyond the range of wired network infrastructure. It instantly detects and locates rogue access points whether or not they are connected to the wired side of the network. WiNc Manager's unique client-based approach allows rogue access points to be detected even when they are out of the range of the network infrastructure, but still within range of users at the periphery of the network. It does so by using WiNc Manager's connections with its wireless clients to "report back" on the state of the network. ...../2 CIROND CORPORATION ANNOUNCES WINC MANAGER 2.0 PAGE 2 o DETECT ROGUE AD-HOC NETWORKS - WiNc Manager automatically detects and locates rogue ad-hoc networks. Ad-hoc networks can compromise network security when a user - either inadvertently or maliciously wirelessly "shares" an authorized wired or wireless network connection. o DETECT ROGUE ACCESS POINTS WHERE THERE IS NO EXISTING WIRELESS NETWORK - WiNc Manager can be deployed in environments where wireless networks are not yet implemented to instantly detect and locate unauthorized, wireless access points that compromise the security of a wired network. WiNc Manager is able to detect rogue access points using cost- effective, off-the-shelf, wireless bridge devices as sensors - such as the $97 NetGear ME 101. o QUICKLY PROVIDE SECURE WIRELESS ACCESS TO VISITORS - The AccessLink component of Cirond WiNc Manager, enables wireless network access to be easily and securely provided to visitors and other temporary users using low-cost USB RAM drives. o QUICKLY AND ACCURATELY SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE WIRELESS NETWORK - With Cirond's innovative MapView technology, wireless networks come alive on the WiNc Manager network management screen. WiNc Manager shows a map of the building and the real-time location of authorized and rogue access points and users. MapView information can be viewed in three dimensions, by building (or building sector), and by floor within each building. o ACHIEVE AN OPTIMAL CONFIGURATION OF ACCESS POINTS - WiNc Manager uses Cirond's unique FourPoint channel allocation technology to automatically assign optimal access point channels to minimize co-channel interference. This simplifies wireless network set-up, and ensures optimum network performance by automatically adjusting channel settings to reduce the effects of interference from outside 802.11 and non-802.11 sources (such as microwave ovens and cordless phones). It allows the network to automatically accommodate the addition of new 802.11-based equipment. o OPTIMIZE NETWORK RESOURCES - Using Cirond's unique LoadShare technology, businesses gain automatic load balancing of their wireless network traffic to automatically distribute network traffic over all available access points within the range of users, ensuring that all users receive maximum quality of service.

WiNc 2.0 provides support for a broader set of wireless network cards and has been redesigned for greater ease of use. "From the outset, we designed WiNc to be the best tool for finding and connecting to 802.11-based networks using a Windows-based desktop PC, notebook computer or Tablet PC," said Nicholas Miller, president and CEO of Cirond Corporation. "Now users can not only find and connect to those networks, but they can manage their connections in a more efficient way, enjoy improved performance, find support for a wider range of wireless network adapters and more quickly get working with their wireless network of choice. In addition, the look of the new WiNc 2.0 wireless connectivity tool can be customized using software "skins". Also, users will be able to save lists of available networks and will find support for Windows domain logon. The enhanced design of the product also makes it simple to instantly check Internet availability on a given wireless network - and to quickly toggle between settings using new Toolbar buttons. In addition, WiNc 2.0 users will be able to customize their view of networks and adapters so that they see as little or as much information as they want. Finally, WiNc 2.0 includes integrated Ping/Trace routing, providing a utility for connectivity diagnosis. WiNc 2.0 will be available from Cirond's value added resellers and partners and also from the company's Web site at HTTP://WWW.CIROND.COM for a price of $19.95 starting on January 30, 2004. It will be a key element of a number of partnered products, as well as being a vital component of WiNc Manager 2.0 - Cirond's next-generation wireless network management and security solution:. A free, 30- day trial version of the product will also be available from the Cirond Web site. ...../2 CIROND CORPORATION ANNOUNCES WINC 2.0 PAGE 2 SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 FOR CIROND CORPORATION Forward looking statements as set forth in this press release are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change.

"Network administrators, in particular, are faced with the challenge of meeting the demands by users to have 802.11-based wireless networks in their organizations, yet still meet the concerns of senior management about how network security will be maintained in a wireless network environment," said Cirond President and CEO Nicholas Miller. "The problem is that some users are not content to wait until their IT departments have developed an implementation plan for wireless - and may they go out and buy a $100 access point from a retail store and effectively 'blow a hole' in the security of the network. With AirPatrol, we will give businesses an effective tool for meeting that challenge by allowing them to easily find these 'rogue' access points." Cirond AirPatrol can be deployed in environments where wireless networks are not yet implemented to instantly detect and locate unauthorized, wireless access points that compromise the security of a wired network. It is able to detect rogue access points using cost-effective, off-the-shelf, wireless bridge devices as sensors - such as the $97 NetGear ME 101. The sensors are constantly "on the hunt" for access point signals and, if they find any, will report them back to the AirPatrol console, with details of the access point name, MAC address - and where it is. AirPatrol will come in two editions. The first - AirPatrol - is a $1495 solution designed to run from the wired side of the network. When it detects a rogue access point, it uses Cirond's unique, location-based MapView technology to allows network administrators to instantly see where the rogue access point is. The second, AirPatrol Mobile - is a $995 mobile edition of the solution designed to be run from a WiFi enabled Tablet PC or notebook computer, and operates stand-alone without the requirement for any additional network equipment. Businesses that have already have a wireless network - or which are in the process of deploying one - should use Cirond's new WiNc Manager 2.0, which also includes the AirPatrol technology for rogue access point detection. Mobile AirPatrol and Enterprise AirPatrol will be available in the first quarter of 2004. .........../2 CIROND CORPORATION ANNOUNCES AIRPATROL PAGE2 SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 FOR CIROND CORPORATION Forward looking statements as set forth in this press release are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change.
