Marshal8e6 changes name to M86 Security
Less confusing.

Web and email filtering company Marshal8e6 has
changed its name for the second time in a year, and
will from now on be known as M86 Security.
The company was created less than a year ago by
combining the US-based Marshal with the UK-founded
8e6 Technologies, but has since added the
engineering core of the tiny but potentially
interesting email scanning startup, Avinti, for an
undisclosed sum.
M86's international president, Bruce Green,
explained that the company had always had in mind
the possibility of changing its name once the dust
had settled on the November 2008 merger.
"It was always the longer-term intention. The
view was that we would think of a new brand," he
said.
The news dovetails with the announcement of the
first products that merge technologies from the two
original companies, WebMarshal 6.5, available now,
and MailMarshal 6.7, available from October. M86
Security products would now use the original 8e6
Technologies' URL filtering database where Marshal's
products had once used bought-in technology, Green
confirmed.
The company has also retained the threat labs
from each of its constituent companies, merging them
into a single entity, M86 Security Labs.
The company will hope to put confusion over its name behind it. The original
8e6 Technologies had to bat away queries about how to pronounce its unusual
name, an annoyance that lived on to a less degree with the succeeding name,
Marshal8e6. M86 Security is clearer even if UK users might puzzle over the
name's connection to the UK's network of highways, which always use the
designation 'M' (for motorway) followed by a number.
