Leadership of the Year Award' is presented to Codenomicon Ltd., one of the
leading companies in the product security test market, for its proactive test
solutions for new technologies.

Codenomicon's trademarked DEFENSICS(TM) test platform demonstrates a high
degree of innovation. By incorporating the latest technology trends and
research into its intelligent fuzzing techniques, DEFENSICS(TM) fulfils the
changing testing needs of network equipment manufacturers, network operators
and enterprises. While, traditional security testing has been overwhelmed by
the fast adoption rate of new technologies, fuzzing has proven itself as an
easily adaptable testing technique.

"The company recently launched an updated version of the platform,
DEFENSICS 3.0, which can be used across different technologies, like 4G/LTE,
Metro Ethernet, FCoE, WiMAX and XML, among others," comments Frost & Sullivan
Research Analyst Srihari Padmanabhan. "Other recent releases include a
general purpose traffic capture fuzzer, which is a very practical and
cost-effective tool for testing proprietary protocols when model based tests
are not available."

The fundamental challenges in robustness testing are the infinite number
of potential vulnerabilities and the difficulty of reaching the deeper
protocol layers. The DEFENSICS(TM) Attack Simulation Engine is the industry's
first state-aware test case generator. It utilizes deep protocol models to
intelligently target protocol areas most susceptible to vulnerabilities even
in deeper protocol layers with high accuracy, while maintaining broad
coverage through automatic test generation.

"DEFENSICS(TM) solutions achieve remarkable efficiency in discovering
both known and unknown bugs," notes Padmanabhan. "It offers off-shelf testing
tools for over 150 protocols and file formats with thousands of pre-built
test cases, and thus enables companies to quickly and easily expand their
test coverage."

As a software-only solution DEFENSICS(TM) is easy to integrate into
existing software development processes, and the online test material can be
shared within organizations facilitating test reproduction and also providing
powerful and cost-effective tools for compliance testing.

Codenomicon's product range is constantly expanding. DEFENSICS for XML is
a straightforward tool for testing XML enabled applications, such as
communication technologies using VoIP, SOAP, web applications and industrial
automation. Codenomicon DEFENSICS(TM) testing solutions now also cover
emerging 4G technologies, such as LTE and WiMAX, helping customers harden
their next generation telecom systems before deployment. DEFENSICS(TM) for
4G/LTE provides unique value by supporting core LTE protocols, such as GTP
and Diameter. It also assures the security and robustness of underlying
protocol layers, like IPv6, Mobile IP, UDP and SCTP.

"As Codenomicon continues to expand its solutions across various
platforms and technologies, it is likely that the company will maintain its
leadership in protocol fuzzing technology in the future," remarks
Padmanabhan. He concludes: "In addition to helping its customers identify and
fix flaws in their solutions, Codenomicon also devotes both time and
resources to repairing open-source libraries with its DEFENSICS(TM) fuzzers."

The Frost & Sullivan Technology Leadership of the Year Award is bestowed
each year upon the company that has demonstrated excellence in technology
leadership within their industry. The recipient company has demonstrated
technology leadership by excelling in all stages of the technology life
cycle-incubation, adaptation, take-up, and maturity-to ensure a continuous
flow of improvements. By innovating leading-edge concepts, the company has
pioneered client applications.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognise companies in a variety
of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and
superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation,
customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts
compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth
interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify
best practices in the industry.

About Codenomicon

Codenomicon develops security and quality testing software, which allows
users to quickly find and identify both known and previously unknown flaws
before business-critical products or services are deployed. Their unique,
targeted approach to the fuzz testing of networked and mobile applications
exposes more flaws and weaknesses than any other testing platform or
methodology. Companies rely on Codenomicon's solutions to mitigate threats,
like Denial of Service (DoS) situations and Zero Day Attacks, which could
increase liability, damage business reputation and cripple sales. For more
