Cellebrite has completed a $170 million acquisition of Corellium, a virtual security technology firm known for creating instances of iOS and Android for security research. Corellium gained attention through a multi-year legal battle with Apple after its technology was deemed infringing on Apple's intellectual property. Co-founders Chris Wade and David Wang significantly contributed to the digital forensics space, particularly after Wang's role in unlocking a vital iPhone for the FBI. With Wade now appointed as Cellebrite's CTO, the acquisition aims to strengthen Cellebrite's technological advancements in helping law enforcement with encrypted device access.
The combination of Cellebrite's commitment to innovation and its focus on supporting law enforcement perfectly aligns with Corellium's capabilities in security and virtualization.
Corellium's technology creates virtual instances of mobile systems, allowing researchers to explore for vulnerabilities without risking original devices.
