LucidLink Turns Humble Office into
Secure Enterprise

LucidLink Turns Humble Office into
Secure Enterprise 07/16/2004 05:03 PM
InterLink wants every office to have affordable wireless security: InterLink introduced LucidLink Wireless Security several weeks ago to connect smaller offices with enterprise-grade wireless encryption. The company knows how to build RADIUS and other authentication servers, and it saw the large gap between pre-shared secrets--subject to social engineering and potential cracking--and servers that require IT expertise and cost tens of thousands of dollars. In an interview with InterLink's president and CEO Mike Klein and vice president of marketing Wayne Burkan, they laid out how this new offering might appeal to the hundreds of thousands of businesses without information technology departments but who would benefit from a secure, login-based wireless network. LucidLink is a small RADIUS server that has a simple front end, less complicated than, say, setting up calendar entries in Outlook. It requires a special client to be installed on computers. The client requires a reboot after installation--in the current version--and that's the most onerous task in gaining access to the network. An administrator uses a simple program to approve users as they request access via the client software. It's an option-free package that meets a high bar of wireless network security through unique WPA master session keys per user. Klein explained that InterLink's primary business remains on the high-end. One ISP they work with, for instance, has 6.5 million users that authenticates using 13 AAA (authenticiation, authorization, accounting) servers from InterLink. The firm works with AT&T, Swisscom, and other giants, and has their software incorporated by firms like HP and Siemens and repackaged by Infobox into hardware appliances. "Security itself is fairly complex today in the enterprise marketplace," Klein said. The idea behind LucidLink is that it "brings a consumer-oriented ease of use model." He likened it to a garage-door opener, which masks a fair amount of wireless technology with a single button. "We're bringing enterprise-level security down into the small-to-medium business market" with the ease of use experience required by the small business, Klein said, calling LucidLink "RADIUS for the rest of us." LucidLink takes the management of this network away from an IT manager and puts it "on the desktop of an administrator, like an office manager or a receptionist," or the same person who handles cell phone numbers, access codes and badges, or building access. Klein acknowledges that WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) provides a higher bar of security, but says that pre-shared keys aren't useful...

The Age Old Entrepreneur-VC Paranoia
Question

The Age Old Entrepreneur-VC Paranoia
Question 03/14/2005 05:27 PM
More evidence that startups are back in fashion: we're seeing a repeat of articles about the startup process that were published during the bubble years. It seems that every new generation of entrepreneurs has to find out how things work yet again -- so the old stories are resuscitated with new actors filling all the usual roles. The Boston Globe is running the ever-popular "how secretive should you be with your business plan in pitching VCs?" story. This article was probably written and published twenty or so times in the mid-to-late nineties. While this one includes the story of how Sidestep pitched some VCs who later went on to found competitor Kayak, the example case five years ago was UrbanFe tch being created after an investor heard Kozmo's pitch and figured he could do a better job. Of course, VCs who actually do take someone else's idea are being pretty stupid -- because word gets around (such as in articles like this one, where VC firm General Catalyst is accused of poaching Sidestep's ideas) and it makes it more difficult for them to get the good deals in the future. Venture capital is a reputation business -- and jeopardizing the reputation over a single investment is a bad bet. However, in the long run, this issue is a silly one. If you have a good idea, keeping it secret is never going to be the answer. It may make sense initially, as you sort out some of the details, but if it's a good idea there's always going to be competition -- and the real trick is how well you can compete in the market, not in how well you hide your business plan.
