CipherTrust

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CipherTrust was an anti-spam email software company based in Alpharetta, GA (a suburb of Atlanta), although they had offices around the world. Since August 2006 it is part of Secure Computing Corp.. The company was co-founded by Jay Chaudhry and Lawrence Hughes (both formerly with VeriSign).[1] Chaudhry was CEO and Chairman of the Board.

Their main product is the highly successful IronMail™, a gateway appliance that prevents leaks from outgoing transfers through the e-mail applications whether they be HTTP or FTP transfers.[2] CipherTrust is the current market leader in the e-mail security space according to Gartner and other industry analysts. CipherTrust has recently added a new product to secure Instant Messaging called IronIM™. Their CTO, Paul Judge, chaired the Anti-Spam Research Group (ASRG) of the IRTF. One of the highly useful services provided by CipherTrust is tracking of Zombie computers, which are a primary source of Spam.[3]

In August 2006, Secure Computing Corp. bought CipherTrust shares for 273.6 M$ (2006 USD). In this purchase, the merged companies would still offer their exclusive technologies.[1]
