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.[2]

In March 2009, Marshal8e6 acquired Avinti,[3] along with its behavior-based malware technology[4] 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.[5]

As part of a rebranding campaign, Marshal8e6 changed its name to M86 Security in September 2009[6]. 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,[7] 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.[8]

Marshal’s TRACE Labs and Finjan’s Malicious Code Research Center combined to form M86 Security Labs[9], which researches and reports on Web and email-based security threats. Researchers from M86 Security Labs have discovered new malware and spam threats, including:

In August 2010, M86 ranked number 1,230 on the Inc. 5000 annual listing of the fastest private growing companies in America[10].
