About PreEmptive Solutions


PreEmptive Solutions was founded in 1996 and is the market leader in .NET and Java application hardening and runtime intelligence solutions.  Our commercial products are used by thousands of organizations around the world, and through a unique multi-year OEM agreement with Microsoft, are available to over 6 million developers through our integration with Visual Studio.

PreEmptive Solutions continues to grow and innovate.  With the upcoming release of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, we are preparing for tens of thousands of developers to begin using a basic version of the Runtime Intelligence Service™ that comes with Dotfuscator Software Services CE.  We are also preparing new releases of Dotfuscator and DashO that advance the state of the art in software protection.

And as more software producers rely on PreEmptive Solutions to protect, defend, measure and manage their applications, we're working on new solutions to help lower the cost of knowing and help software succeed.


Our Mission: Protecting and Increasing Application Value


Intellectual Property (IP) theft, vulnerability exploitation and piracy drain billions of dollars from our global economy each year. With over 1 million desktop users armed with reverse engineering tools, applications have never been more exposed.

PreEmptive Solutions offers the leading obfuscation solutions for both Java and .NET environments. We were the first vendor to serve both the Java and .NET development communities, and we are particularly proud to be the market share leader in each.

Since the release of Visual Studio 2003, Dotfuscator for .NET has been Microsoft's sole “in the box” source for code obfuscation technology and currently sits on over 6,000,000 desktops. Our multi-year OEM partnership with Microsoft means Dotfuscator goes through Microsoft's extensive internal quality and security testing – which translates into benefits for all of our users. From your favorite financial package to the mobility applications on your PDA to the logistical software that guarantees overnight delivery of your packages, your business depends upon .NET applications obfuscated by Dotfuscator.

DashO for Java protects development investments for leading enterprises such as EMC, IBM, and Sun Microsystems as well as leading banking, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing companies. The odds are very good you use and rely on Java technology that has been obfuscated by PreEmptive Solutions each and every day. In fact, some of the core JDK libraries have been protected with DashO.

With the launch of Runtime Intelligence Service (RI Service), PreEmptive Solutions makes it possible for application runtime data (“runtime intelligence”) to be enriched with business information to provide insight into application use, adoption patterns, client environments and a wide spectrum of other information that has traditionally been both difficult and expensive to acquire. The RI Service offers value to all software producer organizations, whether they are ISVs, enterprises or hardware manufacturers.
