SAN JOSE, CA and OULU, FINLAND -- 07/24/08 --
Codenomicon has been
included in the list of "Cool Vendors" in the April 2008 "Cool Vendors in
Application Security and Authentication, 2008" report by Gartner, Inc.
The Application Security and Authentication report includes the vendors
Gartner determined are representative of innovation in these crucial areas.
The report found that "application security testing is becoming a higher
priority for technology vendors and their customers," noting that
"eliminating vulnerabilities at the earliest possible state is the most
cost-effective approach."
"DEFENSICS security testing software gives our customers a key advantage in
delivering superior products," said Ari Takanen, Codenomicon co-founder and
chief technology officer. "We believe being selected as a Cool Vendor
demonstrates our unique position and value for product and service vendors.
DEFENSICS finds more critical quality issues faster and tests more wireless
and networked products and services than any other security testing system,
reducing time to market and minimizing product liability and support
costs."
Codenomicon exposes potentially devastating security flaws in products and
services that may be deployed in enterprises, allowing risks to be
addressed while eliminating any false sense of security that enterprises
might have had. DEFENSICS 3.0 tracks and documents precisely where
devastating flaws exist, which gives networked product and service
manufacturers and vendors the ability to quickly fix security and
reliability weaknesses before their offerings ever reach the market.
