Finnish software makes DoD buy list

Article Abstract:

F-Secure Corp. headquartered in Helsinki, Finland and founded by Siilasmaa and Hypponen is selling security-sensitive software to various customers including the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) thus penetrating the Pentagon procurement market. F-Secure bases its software on open architecture and allows DoD customers to obtain access to the source code if necessary while it claims to be a U.S. market-share leader in the sale of encryption software and used a protocol called secure shell (SSH) that lessens their systems' vulnerabilities to intrusion.

JSF engine-cut plan a loser-analysts

Article Abstract:

The defense analyst James Carafano believes that Pentagon bid to withdraw one of the two planned engine manufacturers for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) might indicate tough times for defense programs in general. However, if the Pentagon were to make the sort of program cut, it would not make a huge difference, fiscally, to the JSF program.
