Company history
Commtouch was incorporated as a private company under the laws of the State of Israel on February 10, 1991, by Gideon Mantel, a former officer in a “special bomb-squad unit” for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).[8] Wired magazine observed that the early company culture at Commtouch encouraged “being a fighter” as their Israeli employees had completed several years of military service.[8]
In 1997 Isabel Maxwell became president of Commtouch.[10] According to Maxwell, she convinced Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to make an investment in the business.[10] In 1999 Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen also made an investment in Commtouch of $20-million.[11]
In September 2010, the company acquired the Command Antivirus division of Authentium,[12] and in October 2012, completed the acquisition of the antivirus business FRISK Software International.[13]
In November 2012, it completed the acquisition of Eleven GmbH,[14] which enabled the company to accelerate the delivery of private-label cloud-based security services, specifically designed for OEM and service provider markets.
In January 2014, it received shareholder approval to change its name from the original of “Commtouch” to Cyren Ltd.[15]
