==Product History==

When it was founded in 2001, Cloudmark was the first anti-spam solution utilizing a peer to peer collaborative filtering approach. Its initial product was called SpamNet, which was released in 2001.

The anti-spam product name was later changed to DesktopOne. While consumers represented its first market, by 2002, Cloudmark's anti-spam product line had branched out into the enterprise market.

As of 2004, its SpamFighter community had grown to one million contributors.

in 2004, Cloudmark released Cloudmark Authority, an enterprise gateway anti-spam system, and SafetyBar, a consumer facing anti-phishing solution adopted by PayPal to protect consumers in online financial transactions. SafetyBar quickly grew to more than one million users in 150 countries in its first year.

In 2005, the company launched its first products for ISPs.

In 2006, the company launched Cloudmark Authority Anti-Virus, providing zero-hour protection against message-borne viruses. The company's Cloudmark Authority product grew to become the leading carrier-grade messaging security solution, serving 7 out of the top 12 ISPs in North America and 8 out of the top 10 ISPs in Japan. Its solutions were frequently adopted on the basis of superior efficiency, enabling clients to run Cloudmark solutions with 1/10th as many servers as competitors' solutions.

In 2007, the company introduced its first anti-spam product for mobile carriers, Cloudmark Authority for Mobile, along with Cloudmark Authority for SpamAssassin. In the same year, Earthlink selected Cloudmark to protect its 5 million users from spam, bringing the total number of email inboxes Cloudmark protected to 250 million email accounts.

In 2009, Cloudmark turned its attention to protecting social media users; the giant social media network MySpace became a client as did Comcast, which added another 25 million subscribers. Within a year the Cloudmark Global Threat Network grew to top 1 billion user accounts.

After acquiring Bizanga in 2010, in 2011 Cloudmark joined forces with the GSMA, the largest mobile carrier organization in the world. to launch a global spam reporting service, the GSMA SRS, which was used by carriers around the world.

In 2014, the company launched Cloudmark Security Platform for DNS, enabling clients to detect malicious messaging in DNS networks, infrastructure and traffic.

In 2016, as email threats become more targeted, Cloudmark launched an anti-spear phishing solution, Cloudmark Trident, to detect highly targeted attacks, including text only attacks that carry no malicious link or attachment. The product won a CRN Top 100 Security solutions award.

In addition to its solutions, Cloudmark also markets a data feed from its Cloudmark Global Threat Network, which it licenses to a number of vendors, including Symantec. The Cloudmark Global Threat Network encompasses 1 billion endpoints worldwide, making it the single largest commercially available source of global threat intelligence in the marketplace.
