"We are pleased to work with the United Nations and the Peacekeeping Missions as a global provider of their network security trough our integrated network solutions. This agreement further enhances Stonesoft’s unconditional commitment to meet its customers’ expectations on their network security even in the most demanding areas of operation", notes Ilkka Hiidenheimo, CEO of Stonesoft Corp.
The agreement with the United Nations has been taken into consideration in company´s previous StoneGate™ growth estimation for this year.
The company has announced earlier that the quarterly fluctuation in growth of StoneGate™ sales will be considerable because of sales cycles and seasonal fluctuation last year. The company is expecting the growth to be emphasised on the second half year.
The growth of the second quarter is expected to be negative as a result of relatively strong corresponding quarter previous year.
