Secure Computing Corporation, or SCC, is a public company (NASDAQ: SCUR) that develops and sells computer security products, such as: Firewalls including Sidewinder, SnapGear and CyberGuard TSP SafeWord authentication products Internet filtering products including SmartFilter, Bess, and Webwasher, Secure Computing consists of several merged units, one of the oldest being Enigma Logic, Inc., which was started around 1982. Bob Bosen, the founder, claims to have created the first security token to provide challenge-response authentication. Bosen published a computer game for the TRS-80 home computer in 1979, called 80 Space Raiders, that used a simple challenge response mechanism for copy protection. People who used the mechanism encouraged him to repackage it for remote authentication. Bosen started Enigma Logic to do so, and filed for patents in 1982–3; a patent was issued in the United Kingdom in 1986. Ultimately, the challenge portion of the challenge response was eliminated to produce a one-time password token similar to the SecurID product.
Enigma Logic merged with Secure Computing Corporation in 1996. Secure Computing acquired the SmartFilter product line by purchasing a small company producing the Webster Webtrack product in the mid-1990s after going public. The acquisition included the domain name webster.com which was eventually sold to the publishers of Webster's Dictionary.
Shortly after acquiring the Webster/SmartFilter product, Secure Computing merged with Border Technologies, a Canadian company selling the Borderware firewall. Border Technologies boasted an excellent product and a highly developed set of sales channels; some said that the sales channels were a major inducement for the merger. Although the plan was to completely merge the Borderware product with Sidewinder, and to offer a single product to existing users of both products, this never quite succeeded. Ultimately, the Borderware product was sold to a consortium of Borderware users.
By this time, the mergers yielded a highly distributed company with an office in Minnesota, Florida, California, and two or three in Ontario. This proved unwieldy, and the company scaled back to offices in Minnesota and California.
In 2002, the company took over the Gauntlet Firewall product from Network Assocates. In 2003, Secure Computing acquired N2H2, the makers of the Bess web filtering package. There has been some consolidation of Bess and SmartFilter, and Bess is now referred to as "Smartfilter, Bess edition" in company literature.
A merger with CyberGuard was announced in August 2005 and approved in January 2006 (A year earlier, CyberGuard had attempted to acquire Secure Computing, but the proposal had been rejected). The largest merger by Secure Computing as of this time, it has resulted in the addition of several product lines to the company, including three classes of firewalls, content and protocol filtering systems, and an enterprise-wide management system for controlling all of those products. Several offices were also added, including CyberGuard's main facility in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
In 2006, the company acquired CipherTrust, a developer of email security solutions. The acquisition was announced in July 2006 and completed in August 2006.
