Vendor

GFI Software sells network and communications software to small and mid-sized organisations, largely through resellers, and its catalogue has been assembled by acquisition over many years. It is owned by the investment group behind Aurea and ESW Capital, which specialises in acquiring established software businesses. KerioControl, the product listed here, came from its 2017 purchase of Kerio Technologies, a Czech company: a unified threat management firewall combining routing, VPN, intrusion prevention and content filtering in one appliance or virtual machine, aimed at organisations without a dedicated network team. GFI also once owned the antivirus that is now VIPRE, which it acquired with Sunbelt Software and later divested — VIPRE appears separately in this index. KerioControl is a network product and is not assessed by the malware laboratories. Vendor page →
