Edgeline Holdings is a publicly traded holding company which is focused on acquiring developing technology companies within the internet security and solar power sectors. Their current portfolio holdings are generally comprised of developing companies that require management expertise and incubation to further develop their proprietary technology and ultimately maximize value by bringing ground-breaking technologies through licensing arrangements and partnerships to the market.
After the markets close yesterday, the company announced that it has completed the acquisition of Secure Voice Communications. Secure Voice is based in Texas with its primarily focus on developing and readying for market a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) based approach to defending voice traffic and voice packets against deliberate attacks such as Denial of Service.
The recent boom in VoIP and IP telephony gives Secure Voice excellent opportunity to expand in the strong market. The company owns copyrighted technology developed and acquired from the University of California, Davis. Up to this point, most information security companies have been focused on entire corporate networks, because they believe that if voice runs across the network, it is as safe as other network data. However, as cyber crime becomes more sophisticated, greater defensive measures and technologies will be required.
