Jabbr was an early social networking platform specializing in secure communications, founded by veterans of Israel's elite Unit 8200 cyber intelligence unit. The platform emphasized real-time messaging and collaboration tools with a focus on privacy and security, leveraging military-grade encryption to cater to users requiring robust data protection. It emerged during the early 2010s wave of social tech innovations, positioning itself as a secure alternative to mainstream networks like Facebook or Twitter. Jabbr gained attention for its security features and attracted enterprise clients and tech investors before being acquired by VMware around 2013. Post-acquisition, its technology was integrated into VMware's portfolio to enhance secure collaboration and endpoint security solutions, though the Jabbr brand largely faded. The founders' background underscores connections to Israel's tech ecosystem ('Silicon Wadi'), where many cybersecurity firms originate from military alumni networks.
