NEW WESTMINSTER, British Columbia. - Saturday, February 22nd 2014 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE) VersAi, Inc. ("VersAi” or "the Company”), a Canadian Federal Corporation, headquartered in Irvine, California, an Intellectual Property Holdings company known for developing OEM Intelligent Middleware™ for next generation computing environments, is pleased to announce that it has acquired certain intellectual property assets including the worldwide distribution and licensing rights to the product lines and technology developed by Espion International, Inc., an 11 year old leading email and UTM ("Unified Threat Management”) appliance manufacturer.
Espion, founded in 2003, developed and sold a line of AI-based email security appliances known as the "Interceptor.” The Interceptor soon was recognized and featured in several Network World Magazine articles in 2004 and 2005 as a strong contender in the email security space, alongside similar appliance products of competitors such as Proofpoint, Postini, Barracuda Networks, and Cisco/IronPort.
The IP itself is a self-signature-creating AI algorithm which now makes up the core of VersAi’s product line, which is an extension of Espion’s Interceptor line. VersAi’s product offerings include hardware appliances which can be installed at the client’s premises or which can be remotely accessed as a hosted solution. In addition, VersAi’s product line includes the virtualized versions of the Interceptor. This AI technology is now known as VersAi Probabilistic Reasoning (VPR). It has been deployed on several million user mailboxes worldwide, including several Fortune 500 companies.
"We are very pleased with completing this IP transfer, as it marks the beginning of a new era for us which involves renewing our existing licensing agreements with our current partners and opening our doors to new partners in each of the markets we are seeking to reach,” commented Dr. J. Scott Smith, President of VersAi.
