Cisco Systems has awarded Positive Technologies the status of Cisco Registered Developer. It’s notable that our company has become the first Russian company to be granted the status of Cisco Registered Developer. Now Positive Technologies has its own profile on the official web site of Cisco Systems.


This status evidences the new level of cooperation between the two companies. It gives researchers of Positive Technologies expanded access to special development resources: software, updates and documentation. Besides, it grants the right to create special tickets concerning the development issues to Cisco TAC (Technical Assistance Center). With these opportunities in hands, specialists of Positive Technologies will be able to improve the support for Cisco products implemented in the MaxPatrol Vulnerability and Compliance Management System.

The official technology partnership is logical step that gives a legal form to the long-lasting collaboration between the companies.Back in 2009, Positive Technologies’ Max Patrol was integrated with Cisco MARS, which monitors and analyzes information security events in corporate information systems and urgently responses to any incidents.

This year, MaxPatrol was enhanced with support for Cisco Nexus switches. Specialists at the Russian office of Cisco Systems provided Positive Technologies with their assistance, granting access to the required equipment.

Experts of Positive Research will continue their work on advancing security of network devices. Together with equipment from Cisco Systems, MaxPatrol already supports appliances from other vendors: Juniper, Nortel, Check Point, Huawei, Arbor Networks, D-Link. No doubts, the list will be expended. Every year the intensive work of the Positive Research center helps detect over 100 vulnerabilities in various systems and applications.

It is with deep regret that we officially announce the departure of recording artist Wande Ojosipe, popularly known as Wande Coal, from Mavin Records due to irreconcilable differences.

Over the past few months, Mavin Records has made a concerted move to consolidate its position in the Nigerian music industry. Mavin has pursued a renewed ethos to raise its standards of quality and professionalism to a world-class level. Wande’s vision has not aligned with ours and a few months ago all parties mutually agreed that a separation would be the best course of action.

Legal parties on both sides have spent the past six months trying to reach an amicable solution in terms of musical property rights. However the decision by Wande Coal to release ‘Baby Face’ purportedly as his own material is a direct breach of intellectual property law and compelled an immediate clarification on our part.

Both Mavin Records and Wande Coal have enjoyed a remarkable run in the course of their working relationship. It is unfortunate that conflicting priorities contributed to the premature curtailment of a hitherto fruitful accord.

Mavin Records reaffirms its goal to constantly provide high quality music to our fans and introduce new and exciting talent into the industry.We wish Wande Coal the best of luck in all his future endeavours.
