History
Established in 1999 in Brisbane, Australia by Oscar Marquez, iSheriff originally concentrated on software and hardware solutions for content, email, and web filtering. By 2009, the company shifted its portfolio to a cloud service delivery model. Its current offerings encompass e-mail filtering, web filtering, email archiving, e-mail encryption, and security analytics. iSheriff possesses a patent for a data modeling system that utilizes Bayesian spam filtering techniques.
In 2006, the Tasmanian government engaged iSheriff to provide Internet filtering software during a statewide trial aimed at blocking pornography to protect children.
In July 2012, iSheriff was acquired by Total Defense, Inc., a firm specializing in cybercrime technologies. After Total Defense sold its consumer division to Untangle on April 21, 2014, the company adopted the name iSheriff once again.
