Clearswift’s software allows companies to manage and secure their electronic communications. In the wake of increasingly higher profile security breaches, the demand for e-mail and web content policy enforcement methods is developing rapidly. Clearswift provides easy-to-implement content filtering solutions through its MIMEsweeper secure gateway product line.

Thanks to the acquisition of Content Technologies from Baltimore Technologies in April 2002 and continued growth, Clearswift is a global market leader.

Amadeus has been instrumental in developing the potential of this company, helping to engineer the acquisition and recruiting a new chief executive. Amadeus originally invested in Clearswift in 2001, introduced the Content Technologies acquisition, and put together the syndicate of financing required for the acquisition. Amadeus continues to work with and support the company, most recently on the sale of its small defence specialist business unit Deep-Secure. Richard Anton is a non-executive director of the Clearswift Board.
