Codenomicon Earns Northern Ostrobothnia Recognition in INNOFINLAND Contest
Oulu, Finland - November 15, 2007 - Codenomicon, Ltd, today announced it has received an honorable mention in the Northern Ostrobothnia region INNOFINLAND contest. Codenomicon is a leading provider of preemptive security and robustness testing solutions. INNOFINLAND judges found Codenomicon to be a great example of how university based research work has been successfully commercialized and has expanded into international markets.
"We are very pleased to receive this recognition," said Tuija Postari-Kivistö, vice president of operations at Codenomicon. "We especially appreciate the acknowledgement from our domestic markets as our business grows globally because many of our employees are from the Oulu region."
Codenomicon DEFENSICS enables companies to preemptively mitigate unknown and published threats in products and services prior to release or deployment - before systems are exposed, outages occur and zero-day attacks are exploited. DEFENSICS offers unparalleled blackbox testing against the broadest set of applications, spanning over 120 Internet, wireless and digital media protocols. Unlike code analyzers and after-the-fact vulnerability scanners, the DEFENSICS platform empowers developers and security analysts to rapidly perform rigorous security and vulnerability tests at the protocol-level to identify and resolve issues that can result in reputation, quality, compliance and liability risks.
Codenomicon has recently earned several prizes. In August, Frost & Sullivan, the U.S.-based analyst and consulting firm, considered Codenomicon Defensics the most innovative security testing software. In addition, Codenomicon has been recognized with the Always-On Top 100, Red Herring 100, and prestigious Finnish Information Processing Association IT Achievement awards.
"Our main focus is to produce added value to our customers. Awards and other recognition confirm the good work we are doing and give our employees an extra boost", said Postari-Kivistö.
