History

Kerio Technologies

Kerio Technologies incorporated in 2001, but its first product WinRoute Pro entered the Internet security market in 1997,[1] as it was owned and maintained by Tiny Software until February 1, 2002.[2] Tiny Software then transferred sales and development of its software to Kerio, where the developers continued to work on it under the Kerio brand.[3]

Kerio's main products (in the early 2000s) were Kerio Personal Firewall[4] and Kerio WinRoute Firewall[5] and the company focused on collaboration software with Kerio MailServer.[6] Kerio discontinued its Personal Firewall in late 2005, which was then acquired by Sunbelt Software.[7]

Starting in 2010, Kerio MailServer was renamed to Kerio Connect[8] and Kerio WinRoute to Kerio Control.[9] Kerio introduced Kerio Operator, an IP PBX system, in 2011[10] and Samepage, a file sharing and collaboration software, in 2013.[11]

In January 2017, Kerio was bought by GFI Software [12]
