Today we released news that ComON, a leading Danish internet-magazine part of the Mediaprovider group that also published CRN, Mobil and other online publications, recognized SMS PASSCODE as the most promising IT entrepreneur company in 2010 with the Tech Gold 2010 award.
A panel of luminaries reviewed a total of 20 high tech firms and selected the winner based on the product uniqueness as well as the ability to bring this new technology to market the most successful.
The panel consisted of Frank Rasmussen, telecommunications entrepreneur and CEO of MVNO Systems, Henrik Poulsen, Jesper Brøckner, and Keld Jersild Olsen, top-executives in TDC, Telia and HP, Preben Mejer, it-icon and Senior VP at Innovation Lab, the seasoned it-entrepreneurs and investors Preben Damgaard and Peter Warnøe, Christian Peytz, chairman of the Organization for Interactive Media, Nikolaj Nyholm, internet-entrepreneur and partner in Vækstfondens venturefirm Sunstone Capital, and managing director for Microsoft Denmark Jørgen Bardenfleth, who also is chairs the research park Symbion.
“We selected a strong panel of judges and put 20 companies to the test to select what we think comprises the most promising IT and green tech innovators right now and selected the winner that will get both the recognition as well as 250.000 kr. in advertising in our publications,” says Jens Nielsen, ComONs editor in chief. “With that, we hope to entice and help to spur growth and success going forward”, he continues.
SMS PASSCODE has quickly established itself as the de-facto standard in a new generation of real-time two-factor authentication solutions. Essentially, a user first enters username and password. It is not until that has been validated, that SMS PASSCODE generates and sends a real-time code that is only valid for that particular login attempt or session. Once the code is entered and validated, the user is granted access. This is a more secure login process than seen in the first generation hardware token based solutions.
”One thing is to get recognized based on success in the marketplace. When you then also get recognized by the most successful entrepreneurs in our region, then it is the ultimate recognition and that makes us more grateful than you can imagine. It is a very proud SMS PASSCODE team that accepts this award and thanks ComOn for the generous awareness package that comes with it,” says David Hald, CEO, SMS PASSCODE A/S.
