Wurldtech and Codenomicon Extend SCADA Security Partnership
Achilles Test Products Now Available to Device Manufacturers in the Asia Pacific Markets
VANCOUVER, British Columbia and OULU, Finland, Sept. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Wurldtech Security Technologies, leaders in protecting mission-critical connected devices from persistent and dynamic cyber security threats and Codenomicon, the market leader in security stress-testing, today announced they are extending their partnership for industrial automation solutions to the Asia Pacific markets, with a focus on China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia.
As the SCADA market continues to add connectivity into control devices, including new telecommunications and mobile capabilities, the need to protect these devices from Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) has increased. Wurldtech and Codenomicon have extended their partnership to provide Asia Pacific device manufacturers with additional testing tools to increase the robustness of their products against these types of attacks.
"As cyber security threats evolve, device manufacturers from around the world are seeking innovative solutions to bolster their development processes," said Wurldtech CEO, Neil McDonnell. "Our partnership with Codenomicon provides Asia Pacific developers with a streamlined channel to Wurldtech products enabling us to continue to build our global presence."
Wurldtech has appointed Codenomicon as an authorized distributor for its Achilles test products, including the Achilles Test Platform and Achilles Test Software. Through this partnership, Codenomicon customers will have access to a new set of test tools for SCADA-specific protocols and Wurldtech will extend its reach into the Asia Pacific market.
"The Wurldtech Achilles Test products provide our customer base with an expanded line of process-control security options," said Codenomicon CEO, David Chartier. "We are energized by our enhanced ability to distribute a complete SCADA robustness testing solution to developers and manufacturers and we look forward to working together to deliver key offerings to the APAC market."
As leaders in test and fuzzing software, Wurldtech and Codenomicon have worked together for many years to provide comprehensive robustness testing tools for mission critical embedded devices. With optional Codenomicon Defensics software running on the Achilles Test Platform, Wurldtech offers its customers testing of additional IT protocols.
Achilles Test products provide the tools that developers of mission critical connected and SCADA devices need to test critical software during the early development lifecycle. By proactively exposing and correcting vulnerabilities and validating system resiliency in a real-time environment, manufacturers are able to secure products before they are released and deployed in high-availability process control networks.
