History
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Kerio_HQ_San_Jose.jpg/170px-Kerio_HQ_San_Jose.jpg)
Kerio Technologies incorporated in 2001, but its first product WinRoute Pro entered the Internet security market in 1997,[4] as it was owned and maintained by Tiny Software until February 1, 2002.[5] Tiny Software then transferred sales and development of its software to Kerio, where the developers continued to work on it under the Kerio brand.[6]
Kerio's main products (in the early 2000s) were Kerio Personal Firewall[7] and Kerio WinRoute Firewall[8] and the company focused on collaboration software with Kerio MailServer.[9] Kerio discontinued its Personal Firewall in late 2005, which was then acquired by Sunbelt Software.[10]
Starting in 2010, Kerio MailServer was renamed to Kerio Connect[11] and Kerio WinRoute to Kerio Control.[12] Kerio introduced Kerio Operator, an IP PBX system, in 2011[13] and Samepage, a file sharing and collaboration software, in 2013.[14]
In January 2017, Kerio was bought by GFI Software. Kerio Connect, Kerio Control, Kerio Operator and Kerio Cloud became GFI assets but Samepage was not part of the acquisition.[2]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
