Radialpoint History
With over a decade of experience in the industry, Radialpoint addresses a broad range of Internet Service Provider (ISP) needs. Founded in 1997, as Zero-Knowledge Systems (ZKS), the company’s initial mission was to bring 
Internet privacy to the masses through user-friendly technology in an age when Internet anonymity was disappearing. ZKS quickly recruited the world’s leading cryptographers and software experts to build the world’s largest and only global network of private encrypted servers, allowing pseudonymous Internet surfing.
Despite this technological success, in 2002, privacy products had not reached the mainstream, and the company decided to refocus the business on providing a security services platform for ISPs, rather than selling directly to consumers. Within two years, this new business model attracted customers comprising 60% of the Canadian market. This growth was quickly followed with further North American and European expansions.
In 2005, based on the success of the business model and continued profitability, the company rebranded with a new name - Radialpoint. The company’s global market share continued to grow and by 2006, the Service Provider brands under which Radialpoint’s security services are distributed represent the #4 spot for global consumer security offerings world-wide.
More recently as consumers spend more time and effort trying to understand, manage and maintain the technologies they use every day, Radialpoint sees a strategic opportunity to expand ISPs’ revenue potential by positioning them as the "IT Managers" for their customers’ digital homes. As a result, the company broadened its focus to provide a wide range of managed services and support for the digital home. Radialpoint subsequently acquired HiWired and Casero, market leaders for Premium Support and Online Sharing & Backup respectively to expand its digital home offerings, grow its market share, and expand its business to new markets. The combination of these companies creates the largest provider of private-label, digital home IT solutions to the service provider industry, serving more than 50 million addressable subscribers at more than 20 leading ISPs worldwide!
For our ISP customers, this enables them to maximize subscriber value, differentiate their brand in the digital home, and unify the management and delivery of multiple potential services. For end users this means an optimal service experience with access to services that are easy to activate, a pleasure to use and virtually maintenance free.
With strong growth rates and prestigious industry award recognition, Radialpoint continues to expand its digital home security and support offerings, grow its market share, and expand its business to new markets.
