Aspen Avionics Receives Red Herring 100 North America Award

Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) May 30, 2008

Aspen Avionics today announced that it is a recipient of the Red Herring 100 North America, an award given to the top 100 private technology companies based in the region.

Aspen Avionics brings the most advanced technologies and capabilities from commercial and business aviation markets into general aviation (GA) cockpits and budgets. Its flagship product line, the Evolution Flight Display system, replaces aging mechanical flight instruments, which still dominate 95% of the GA fleet, with the latest microprocessor-based systems incorporating solid-state sensors and flat panel displays. And it does so at prices that for the first time in the industry are less than the cost of the analog gauges it replaces.

Red Herrings annual lists of top private companies are an important part of the companys tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. Companies like Google, eBay and Skype were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors, and touted as leaders that would change the way we live and work.

"Receiving this award from such a prestigious publication as Red Herring is a real honor for Aspen," said John Uczekaj, President and CEO of Aspen Avionics. "We pride ourselves on our ability to develop revolutionary technology solutions to the challenges that face our industry, and Red Herring's recognition of our success is a tribute to our team's ability to build a business based on a new way to look at avionics," Uczekaj continued.

Red Herrings editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 800 private companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development.

"Red Herring's recognition of Aspen Avionics as a top 100 company in a non-traditional sector further validates the company's role as an industry leader," said Len Rand, Managing Director at Granite Ventures, which led Aspens Series A venture funding. "Aspen is revolutionizing light aviation and we're enjoying the ride."

Stephanie Spong of EPIC Ventures (formerly Wasatch Venture Fund), which led Aspens Series B investment round, said, We appreciate Red Herring recognizing in this somewhat unusual deal the classic ingredients of a great technology innovation story passionate, committed founders who put together a world-class team to carry their revolutionary idea out to a mature industry that was hungry for something new. This company has what it takes to become the next major player in avionics.

Afilias Receives Excellence In Online Trust Award From The Online Trust Alliance

Dublin, Ireland (Vocus) September 24, 2010

Afilias, a leading provider of Internet infrastructure services and the registry provider for the .INFO domain, has been awarded a 2010 Excellence in Registry Services award from the Online Trust Alliance. Afilias was recognized on Thursday, September 23rd at the Online Trust Alliances fifth annual 2010 Excellence in Online Trust Awards in Washington D.C. for its innovative leadership role in online safety initiatives over the past year.

Afilias cyber security initiatives included its pioneering Anti-Abuse Policy for the .INFO domain, which has helped .INFO to continuously score one of the lowest phishing uptimes for all generic top-level domains (TLDs). It also includes cross-industry collaboration initiatives which have helped suppress two of the largest cyber-gangs and incidents in the Internets history, Avalanche and Conficker. In addition, Afilias has worked to increase implementation of Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), which is the only known protection against cache-poisoning and man-in-the-middle attacks.

We appreciate the recognition of our work to enable a more trustworthy Internet and owe thanks to a very cooperative industry, including our domain name registrars who have been responsive in helping us address domain abuse, said Ram Mohan, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for Afilias. We will continue to strengthen our anti-abuse program and will add DNSSEC protection to more than a dozen registries in the months ahead.

The Online Trust Alliance specifically cited Afilias as exemplifying excellence in online trust for the commitment to working with the registry community, ICANN, APWG and other organizations advancing DNSSEC and developing .ORG. Their development of tools successfully have helped to block over 2.5 million Conficker domains and aided anti-abuse policies, resulting in the suspension in over 100,000 abusive domains.

Afilias is committed to defeating abusive uses of domains and, since introducing our anti-abuse policy in 2008, we have demonstrated measurable results in fighting phishing, malware, and spam, added Greg Aaron, Director of Domain Security for Afilias. Collaboration with our registrars, the Anti-Phishing Working Group, law enforcement, and security vendors and researchers have helped make our efforts successful. This results-oriented approach and expertise sets our registry services apart.
