2010-10-04 08:30:00 CEST 2010-10-04 08:30:49 CEST REGULATED INFORMATION Stonesoft - Company AnnouncementSTONESOFT CORPORATION: NEW NETWORK SECURITY THREAT CATEGORY PUTS THE FUNCTIONALITY OF ORGANIZATIONS' DATA CAPITAL AND SYSTEMS AT RISKStonesoft Corporation Stock Exchange Release 4 October 2010 at 9.30 AM The R&D unit of Stonesoft Corporation has discovered a new and significant security threat category, which enables intruding into organizations' data systems. This puts the uninterrupted functionality of organizations' data capital and systems at risk. Most current security systems do not offer protection against these new kinds of threats. Stonesoft's own research and test results as well as current expert analysis prove that the threat is global and it affects all security products of a certain type regardless of the vendor. Stonesoft has reported to the national Finnish security authority CERT and several other principal authorities."We have discovered a significant threat category, which we believe will change the whole network security and require organizations extensive renewal of their security systems. Most traditional network security solutions are too static to cope with these unknown and constantly evolving threats. Stonesoft's software based security solutions offer comprehensive protection also against these new threats, which will improve our competitiveness on the market. We are beginning to inform our customers and will disclose this significant discovery in large scale in the near future", says Ilkka Hiidenheimo, CEO of Stonesoft. Stonesoft estimates the discovery to open new business opportunities for the company and to have a positive effect on the company's net sales and profitability. However, at this point the company cannot estimate the magnitude nor the schedule of this effect.
