History
In November 2008, 8e6 Technologies, a company that sold Web filtering products, and Marshal Software, a provider of integrated email and Web security products, merged to form Marshal8e6.
In March 2009, Marshal8e6 acquired Avinti, along with its behavior-based malware technology for detecting blended threats that occur through email. Upon completion of the merger, Avinti’s CEO, William Kilmer, joined Marshal8e6 as its Chief Marketing Officer.
As part of a rebranding campaign, Marshal8e6 changed its name to M86 Security in September 2009. The following November, M86 Security acquired Finjan Software along with its Secure Web Gateway (formerly Finjan Vital Security) product and licenses to patents for real-time code analysis technology, giving the company malware detection and prevention capabilities for the Web gateway. The company had previously announced John Vigouroux, CEO of Finjan Software, as the new CEO of M86 Security.
Marshal’s TRACE Labs and Finjan’s Malicious Code Research Center combined to form M86 Security Labs, which researches and reports on Web and email-based security threats. In August 2010, M86 ranked number 1,230 on the Inc. 5000 annual listing of the fastest private growing companies in America.
On March 6, 2012 it was announced that Chicago based Trustwave Holdings would acquire M86 Security. On March 19, 2012 Trustwave completed its acquisition of M86 Security and subsequently rebranded its products and operations under the Trustwave name.
