SAN FRANCISCO -- Mocana, a software company that is enabling a secure networked society, today announced the addition of technology industry expert and visionary, Guru Parulkar, to Mocana's Advisory Board. Known for his expertise in networking and for his work on championing an ambitious research initiative on reinventing the Internet, Parulkar joins an extensive team of top ranking professionals to provide strategic guidance and council to Mocana.

"Guru Parulkar's proven record of leadership in the technology sector speaks for itself. It's an honor to have him join Mocana's Advisory Board," said Adrian Turner, chief executive officer and president, Mocana. "I look forward to a successful collaboration with Guru and leveraging his input and perspective on the industry to make Mocana an even more successful company."

This summer when Parulkar's four year term ends at NSF, he will join Stanford University as executive director of a new program called Clean Slate Design of the Internet that will focus on transforming the current Internet into a unified, global communication infrastructure for the 21st century. The Clean Slate Design initiative is targeting an internet infrastructure that will scale, accommodate further technologies and of which security is at its core. This concept is central to Mocana's role in securing a networked society and Parulkar's perspective will add another dimension of expertise to Mocana's board.

"Mocana is a company that will play a unique role in the continued evolution and potentially revolution of the Internet and is directly relevant to my work on the Clean Slate Design initiative," said Guru Parulkar.
