iPolicy Networks shortlisted to be profilied in NASSCOM’s 100 IT Innovators List

India, Noida, 12th Dec, 2007 – iPolicy Networks, provider of Next Generation Security Solutions has been short-listed to be profiled in the listing of NASSCOM's 100 IT Innovators – 2007.

Today, NASSCOM announced iPolicy Networks to be profiled in the listing of NASSCOM's 100 IT Innovators – 2007. NASSCOM’s special Innovation book, their third in the series, provides a wide angle view of the innovation being fostered within the IT-BPO industry. It honors the Indian IT companies that have injected innovation into existing know-how and come up with new ideas, products, business models, processes or technologies to achieve higher margins and profits that have been reinvested into the business.

iPolicy received this award for its cutting edge innovation in an universal Application Decode Engine. This path breaking innovation enables support for new applications by simply updating the decode database/application knowledgebase. It also allows support for custom applications in verticals such as manufacturing, utilities, financial services, government and the military. Application knowledgebase update enables an instant “network-level patch” for newly discovered application vulnerability, without requiring complex code change or, in the interim, depending on numerous intrusion detection signatures.

Standard code-based application engines in traditional network security products cannot address custom environments, leaving them vulnerable to exploits. Dynamic Application Decode engine enables smooth support for Custom Applications.
Application decode will help enterprises and Internet Service providers mitigate Application Level vulnerabilities and new threats without going through a rigorous release testing process, and hence at a higher turn around time. Users of the internet who execute financial transactions, e-commerce, or any other task performed using the web will get directly benefited by virtue of being able to use a more secure and safer network. Release-independent application decode capability improves productivity of security administrators and network security managers by eliminating the time required to validate a new code release.

Application decodes helps secure the internet environment and results in a better turn-around time to mitigate against application level attacks.
