Commtouch Launches URL Filtering for Mobile
Commtouch Software (CTCH) a provider of email defense and URL filtering solutions to enterprise customers and OEM distribution partners. The firm’s “in the cloud” technology has the ability to analyzes 2.5 billion messages a day, which is far superior to the competition’s static solutions which have little chance of catching new outbreaks. During late 2008, the Company released its URL filtering services. The web has more than double the revenue potential of the messaging market. The firm’s OEM business model gives Commtouch the advantage of recurring revenue, higher margins and less exposure to the end markets.
According to Computer World and Gartner By 2014, about 12% of all e-commerce transactions will be made using smartphones and other mobile devices, but fraud detection tools for mobile commerce are lagging, Gartner said today.
On June 21, 2011 Commtouch announced the launch of GlobalView URL Filtering for Mobile, which enables real-time protection for mobile device users browsing the Web.

As a result, users are becoming exposed to the same undesirable content prevalent on other platforms, as well as newly created threats that are specific to mobile devices. The mobile security client software market is forecast to have a 40% CAGR from 2010 to 2015.
