Cisco Buy Maris Client Scansafe

Cisco, the leading supplier of networking equipment and network management for the Internet, has announced plans to buy Maris Client, Scansafe for $183 million.

Cisco expects the web security market, which Scansafe have a 35% share, to grow to $2.3 billion by 2012.

Scansafe was set up 5 years ago by brothers Eldar and Roy Tuvey based on Eldar’s feeling that the future of internet filtering would be cloud-based.

The notion of spam blocking and internet filtering before the threat got anywhere near the customer’s computer system was a revolutionary idea in 2004.

However, the brother’s belief that the security threat would move from the inbox to the browser was not such a “crazy, crackpot idea” after all , the sale to Cisco emphasising their success.

With over 2,000 customers in 100 countries, Scansafe has become the clear market leader in providing a safe and productive internet environment for organisations.

Maris recently completed the 6500 sq ft office fit-out fit-out of the new Head Office for Scansafe.

The new, modern and largely open plan office is a bright and welcoming place for staff and visitors alike.

The office fit-out saw Scansafe relocate to the iconic Qube building on the corner of Whitfield Street.
