The company's CEO says this is more than just a name change

McAfee is not the only brand name that has been changed today. Commtouch has announced that starting today, it will operate under the name CYREN.

However, in the case of Commtouch, it’s not only the name that’s changed. CYREN Chairman and CEO, Lior Samuelson, says the move is part of the company’s strategy to become a “plug-and-play complete security solution provider.”

“Already relied upon by many of the world’s most well-known IT brands as the ‘secret sauce’ in their security solutions, CYREN’s uniquely powerful detection technologies are constantly evolving to protect against tomorrow’s threats,” Samuelson said.

On the NASDAQ and Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, the company will continue to trade as CTCH. FRISK Software’s antivirus unit and Eleven – both of which have been recently acquired by the organization – will also operate under the name CYREN.
