Mocana securely enables Internet-scale applications and services for connected devices got VCs funding
What Company Is Offering:
Mocana securely enables Internet-scale applications and services for connected devices. Mocana's industry-leading infrastructure software solutions ensure that wired and wireless devices, networks and services perform and scale with the utmost security – a necessary foundation for a networked society. Customers include Philips, Dell, Cisco, Nortel Networks, Harris, Honeywell, Symbol, Net.com and Radvision, among others.The company has been recognized with numerous awards including the Red Herring 100 and Frost & Sullivan’s Innovation of the Year.
How Much They Got From VCs:
Mocana, a security software company that delivers comprehensive protection for devices, today closed $7 Million in venture financing. The infusion of funding, led by Southern Cross Venture Partners, will be used to expand the company’s product lines, build out its international presence and increase marketing activities. Mocana’s only previous institutional investor, Shasta Ventures also provided investment for this round, increasing their ownership position in the company and bringing Mocana’s total capital backing to $12.1M.
Attacks on PC platforms have steadily grown in sophistication and PC security technology has generally evolved along with the threats. But now there are more non-PC “things” connecting to the network every day, like PDAs, routers, DVRs, printers, iPods, and even cars or digital picture frames. Each one of these new devices represents a “soft target” for hackers and an easy way in to the rest of the network. This is because third- and fourth-generation attack techniques are being unleashed upon millions of non-PC devices armed with first-generation security, at best.
To address this, Mocana offers its Device Security Framework (DSF), a comprehensive approach to device security that secures communications to and from any device connected to the network, as well as the data and applications residing on those devices. This latest round of financing will be used to enhance and expand the 20 security components that currently make up Mocana’s DSF so that manufacturers and service providers can ensure that security is inherent in the device, to protect against existing and emerging threats.

How It Works:
You handover the intellectual property rights to the receiving organization when you post a challenge pitch or an innovative idea, thus giving the receiving organization the unrestricted right to use and disclose any of the posted materials.

In the event the receiving organization will close the challenge or the innovation box, postings will not be visible in the Fellow Forum. In those cases only the receiving organization can view your postings. It is also possible that the receiving organization takes your posting of the Fellow Forum. This can happen when they find it such a good posting that they do not want to share it with anybody.
The reward money is 100% yours. They do not take any charge or commission from your reward fee.

Mottle.net----First Free People Wiki Search Engine
About Company:
New York: Mottle.net, a collaborative social networking website, will launch June 1, 2008, said co-founder Nathan Hallford.
Traditional social networking sites allow users to add profiles about themselves which are solely under their control. This makes it difficult to verify data and creates a segmented experience. Mottle.net offers a different approach: users can discuss and edit each others’ information as the first Wiki social networking site.
Because of this, Mottle.net is community-oriented and provides important peer review features absent on other sites. Mottle allows users to get a truer picture of the people they interact with on the site.
Mottle.net Co-Founder Nathan Hallford commented that Mottle fights segmentation of data. “Profiles have traditionally been the domain of the individual, but Mottle expands the focus to be truly community-oriented.”
