The employ a lot of engineers, but were largely a file/folder encryption vendor with products I believe that were home grown. The needed FDE and licensed from Mobile Armor (who was dying, and I think MA had some of the same VCs) and then Protector from Safend for removable media (who had the same VCs ...). The VCs let MA fall into Trend and Safend to fall into Wave, but it looks like Credant has pulled of casf-flow+ or even profitability, but they do have engineers, and I would consider them an engineering firm that did what they had to do as things advanced. I suspect that the royalties for MA and Safend may be less than stellar (the whole thing being the VCs selling their products to themselves). Bitlocker management is likely part of the MA IP. MA is to them (even though it is Trend) as N*able was to Wave in some ways, except Wave *bought* Nable, and Credant is in the odd spot of having two products owned by their now public competitors).

Mostly seems to wrap other people's technology together. Safend's encryption software, MS' Bitlocker management software etc.

Not so much on the original R&D, from what I've seen.
