It’s my turn to tell you about Daniel, with whom I have worked for many years.
Daniel Fages:
Daniel, a graduate of the INSA engineering school in Lyon like myself and David, has worked in the information security field throughout his career. Technically speaking, we are complementary: Daniel is an inventor, designing and experimenting with innovative technical solutions while I transform his proof-of-concept into an industrial-level product. He is a visionary who knows how technologies will evolve and what should be done now.
Daniel started his career in 1997 at IBM as a consultant in the security and Internet fields, then in 1999 began working on an innovative application layer firewall with security and performance in mind. This led to him founding Arkoon Network Security and patenting the breakthrough FAST (Fast Applicative Shield Technology) technology which is still the core filtering engine of Arkoon’s FAST360 UTM appliances.
As a founder and CTO of Arkoon, he built up the R&D department and was a valued member of the executive committee. Daniel is one of the key people who has made a significant contribution to the success of Arkoon and its status as French leader in IT security solutions.
