F-Secure Corporation has acquired ROMmon Oy, a Finnish company that
provides network level malicious traffic control solutions for
ISPs.
ROMmon’s network-level appliance is targeted against network
anomalies that typically cause bandwidth disruption, loss of
revenue to ISPs and a large number of support calls.
ROMmon is presently the technology leader in their segment and
already boasts a large client base in Finland. About 50% of
broadband users in Finland are protected today by ROMmon’s
solutions. ROMmon has been in business since 2001 and has shown
profitable growth. It currently employs four persons.
ROMmon’s technology strengthens F-Secure’s offering to the ISP
customer segment.
The acquisition is paid partly with a directed share issue and
partly with cash. The purchase price was not disclosed.
