Barracuda Network hails EU investment in European Cyber Crime Centre (EC3)

Determined to keep cyber sharks out of business, the European Commission has injected funds into establishing the European Cyber Crime Centre (EC3).

Wieland Alge, VP and general manager for EMEA at Barracuda Networks said: “The news that the European Commission is taking cyber crime seriously by investing in the European Cyber Crime Centre (EC3) is to be applauded. Because of the international nature of cybercrime - where country borders no longer restrict criminal operations - having one organisation that can oversee and co-ordinate things has to be a step in the right direction. However, even this European-wide initiative makes it difficult to effectively bring criminals who threaten our lives and economy to justice. As for trying to rely on national prosecution, it is simply is not enough.

A10 Networks Customers not impacted by narrow patent injunction in Brocade ruling

Products with re-designed, non-infringing elements will ship immediately

London, United Kingdom: A10 Networks™, the technology leader in Application Networking, announced that on January 10, 2013, Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted A10's motion for a new trial on patent damages and rejected Brocade Communications Systems Inc.'s ("Brocade") request for a broad injunction on the basis that it "overreaches." The Court instead entered a narrowly-tailored injunction against certain products. The Court explicitly held that "[c]ustomers of A10 who have already purchased and continue to use infringing AX Series devices shall not be affected by this injunction." A10 Networks will appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to overturn the jury's verdict.
