From Side Project to Strategic Acquisition: Cyvore Acquires Scan My SMS

In cybersecurity, some of the most impactful innovations begin as side projects.

Scan My SMS, the viral tool that helped thousands of users instantly detect phishing, has officially joined Cyvore. What started as a small initiative by two Israeli security researchers is now part of Cyvore’s broader mission to secure every conversation in the modern workspace.

A Powerful Integration

With the acquisition, Scan My SMS now runs on Cyvore’s Workspace Security engine – dramatically enhancing its detection accuracy, speed, and intelligence.

The tool remains free and accessible to the public, but under the hood, it now leverages enterprise-grade capabilities:

  • Real-time phishing and scam detection

  • AI-driven link, file, and media scanning

  • Cross-channel analysis for evolving attack patterns

This integration bridges two worlds: consumer simplicity and enterprise-level protection, creating a feedback loop that strengthens both.

“Smarter detection. Same simplicity.”
-Ori Segal, Co-Founder & CEO, Cyvore

Why It Matters

In his interview with Geektime, Segal noted:

“Our goal is to put scanning power in every employee’s pocket – to protect both individuals and organizations.”

As communication spreads across WhatsApp, Teams, Slack, and SMS, Cyvore’s vision of Workspace Security expands beyond corporate boundaries. The Scan My SMS integration brings real-time threat intelligence directly to where people communicate – closing one of the biggest blind spots in cybersecurity today.
