This is what our patented technology does.” The company said it has surpassed 1,000 clients, representing 500% growth over the past 12 months, and has so far licensed its patented technology to three major security vendors, who offer it as an OEM solution with their own branding. “We have been licensing the Avanan technology since the beginning of 2019 as a solution for our clients who require advanced email security,” said Brian Laing, senior vice president of corporate development and strategic alliances at Lastline, Inc. an Avanan Premier Partner. “Avanan is ahead of the curve; in three to five years, most organizations will use the API method to protect all communications in-line, making legacy architectures outdated.” US Patent # 10,372,931 was granted to the company on August 6th, taking effect from the original priority date of December 27, 2015.
