CIO Vendor According to a Gartner forecast, spending on information security products and services in India will swell to an estimated to USD 1.7 billion in 2018. The government’s push towards a digital economy has made the enterprise security market in India extremely lucrative. Motivated by these trends, a number of home grown startups are now jumping into the field to capture a share of this market. However, the Indian Enterprise Security market remains largely dominated by international brands.

One home grown player that has been making its attempts to drive the enterprise security market in the country is Jaipur based Httpcart Technologies. Putting forth the Made in India product WiJungle, an advanced Gateway Appliance which delivers NextGen Firewall/UTM and Hotspot Gateway capabilities, Httpcart Technologies aims to revolutionize the Indian market, while expanding its presence throughout the globe. The solution has already found its implementation in corporate enterprises, education, and retail while carving out a niche in hospitality, healthcare, and transportation industries.

Karmesh Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO, Httpcart Technologies takes us through the features of WiJungle Built with a unique location based/location awareness & zero IP configuration feature, the solution enables organizations such as hotels and hospitals to extend the benefit of network connectivity right from the moment the guest steps into its premises. Location awareness feature facilitates users with a number of captive portals that leverages identity specific details such as phone number and social media login to make access to the internet easy and secure.
