San Francisco Becomes First US City to Offer Encrypted Wi-Fi

Marc Touitou is hopeful that what’s starting as a small Wi-Fi hot spot on Market Street in San Francisco will soon become the standard for cities around the world. So what is it about this hotspot stretch that has Touitou, San Francisco’s CIO, so excited? “It’s about you being safe in the street!” Touitou said with a huge smile in his voice. “With all the data breaches you have seen, it becomes increasingly important to protect our residents." Touitou calls it Hotspot 2.0.
