PreEmptive Surpasses Two Million Obfuscated Applications

BOSTON, Microsoft Tech Ed Booth #1003 - June 12, 2006

PreEmptive Solutions, suppliers of the leading Enterprise Obfuscation Solution for the Microsoft .NET Framework-based environment and Java, announced today that it has obfuscated over two million applications, with over one million applications obfuscated in the past year alone.

Uncontrolled access to source code can negatively impact an organization in a variety of ways: intellectual property loss, increased vulnerability probing, theft of service and loss of revenue. Vulnerable organizations include:

• Companies that embed proprietary algorithms and business processes in their applications risk losing their competitive advantage.

• Organizations with operations that rely upon the stability and availability of key applications risk an increase in successful vulnerability exploitation.

• Suppliers with software that meter access to applications or other services risk loss of revenue and theft of service.

PreEmptive's Enterprise Obfuscation Solution helps organizations manage the risks stemming from uncontrolled access to source code by essentially "scrambling" the code, thereby making it unreadable and inaccessible to the outside world. Thousands of companies including independent software vendors (ISVs), financial service providers, government agencies, automotive manufacturers, consumer goods suppliers, pharmaceutical corporations, telecommunication suppliers and heavy manufacturers use PreEmptive to protect their applications.

"Our obfuscation solutions have been on the market for over five years," said Sebastian Holst, senior vice president of sales and marketing at PreEmptive Solutions. "The record pace of adoption in this last year reflects the rapidly expanding deployment of the Microsoft .NET Framework and Java platforms, an increasing awareness amongst development teams that they must protect their work and, lastly, the emergence of PreEmptive as the de facto standard for demanding organizations seeking scalable enterprise application obfuscation solutions."
