recent news 07 SEP 2007 – KOMODO CMS ENHANCED AFTER THOROUGH SECURITY REVIEW All Komodo CMS Version 4 installations have received new security patches following an independent security audit by leading internet penetration testing firm Pure Hacking. In June 2007, thanks to the assistance of our client the Audit Quality Review Board (AQRB) - www.aqrb.org.au and our partner CompliSpace - www.complispace.com.au, the Komodo CMS software platform was thoroughly tested by Pure Hacking - www.purehacking.com, Australia's leading provider of application security assessment and proactive penetration testing. The tests were designed to examine the resilience of Komodo CMS against malicious attacks and the strength of Komodo CMS security measures. Komodo CMS is pleased to report that the tests demonstrated the strength of Komodo CMS Version 4 against malicious attacks. Recommendations were made to further strengthen the security of Komodo CMS and we are also pleased to report that all Version 4 installations have been upgraded with these additional security measures. The independently commissioned review of Komodo CMS by Pure Hacking means that the Komodo CMS web publishing platform is one of very few that can claim a tested level of security suitable for confidential information stored in Intranet and Extranet environments, including the type of Business Process and Compliance information that is the domain of online compliance specialist - CompliSpace, who in September 2007 have launched their ground-breaking Anti-Money Laundering (AML) module. Komodo CMS will continue to ensure that its web publishing platform remains secure and delivers world-leading web publishing outcomes. In March 2008, Version 5 will offer further enhancements to both product functionality, expansion options, inbuilt standards compliance and web security features. Please contact Rodney Way at Komodo CMS (rodney@komodocms.com) if you would like more information on the security audit and the resulting security modifications. Komodo CMS would like to thank Pure Hacking, AQRB and CompliSpace for their assistance in the security improvement process. Please remember that regardless of security initiatives it is critical that you protect your access details and passwords to ensure the ongoing security of your system. 14 AUG 2007 – PARTNERSHIP WITH VIOCORP TO DELIVER STREAMED VIDEO CONTENT Komodo CMS has partnered with Australia's leading internet broadcaster and online video streaming provider, Viocorp, to deliver rich media solutions to Komodo CMS clients.
