WheelGroup was a computer security company based in San Antonio, Texas. The founders originally met and worked together at the US Air Force Information Warfare Center and many of them subsequently worked at Trident Data Systems. They started Wheelgroup in November 1995.[1] It was one of the first companies to specialize in network security and penetration testing[citation needed].

The company developed and sold the first[citation needed] commercial intrusion detection system, NetRanger, which was eventually re-branded as Cisco Systems Adaptive Security Appliance.

WheelGroup was acquired by Cisco Systems for $124 million on March 12, 1998.[2][3]
