The internet has become an indispensable part of life today. Whether at work, during leisure time or just while drinking a coffee near a hotspot; With the development of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, modern technology has created unimagined possibilities for constant online connectivity. Since this freedom could also be abused for criminal purposes, it is necessary to take precautionary security measures in order to be able to put a stop to possible abuse from the outset. The Ski amadé region has been offering its guests free WiFi with over 2011 access points in the entire ski region since the 2012/250 season and with IKARUS Security Software, the Austrian anti-virus specialist and specialist in public networks, Unwired Networks, the ideal partner for the security and administration of one of the largest tourism WiFi networks in Europe on board.

"That's what I call a perfect project: Two extremely successful Austrian companies, each specialists in their field, are jointly implementing one of the largest tourism WLAN networks in Europe, and of course in Austria! Looking back, I am proud that IKARUS was able to help Ski amadé and its guests can now offer uncomplicated and secure access to the Internet, "says Siegfried Schauer, head of the project at IKARUS Security Software.

The IKARUS security.proxy solution, which is recognized worldwide and has received multiple international awards, is used, which is transparently operated by Unwired Networks for Ski amadé. This has the advantage that no Ski amadé guest needs to make special settings on the device (smartphone, tablet, notebook, etc.).

"I am pleased about the good cooperation within this Austrian high-tech project. The joint implementation was exciting because the ski region is very large and the WiFi locations are very distributed. Therefore, all information about weather, slopes, connecting lifts, operating times, But also the closest hut can be delivered regionally. Ski guests can get information about their location via the free WiFi even without a lift ticket, so they will never be on the slopes again without a plan ", says Mag. Alexander Szlezak, Managing Director of Unwired Networks, about the implementation .

The solution not only filters out malware of all kinds, such as Trojans, spyware, etc., but also enables Ski amadé to block explicit content in order to ensure that, for example, adult content is not displayed in the first place. The solution from IKARUS Security Software GmbH enables Ski amadé guests to enjoy safe and ultimate surfing pleasure, regardless of whether they are at the lift, on the slopes or at après-ski!
