History:

Sangfor was founded in 2000 by partners River Hu and Wilson Xiong. Its first product was an IPSec VPN launched in 2002 with the launch of its IPSec/SSL VPN following in 2004. Sangfor began to diversify by developing and launching their Internet Access Management (IAM) product in 2005 followed by their WAN Optimization (WANO) product in 2007.

Sangfor emerged on the international market in 2008, when they opened an office in nearby Hong Kong. The first international version of the Sangfor WANO and SSL VPN was put on the market in 2009, which was the same year as they launched their Application Delivery product. Their break onto the international market was quickly followed up by the founding of offices in Indonesia, Thailand and the UK in 2010-2011 along with the introduction of their first Next Generation Firewall (NGAF).

Sangfor Technologies went public on the Chinese Stock Exchange in mid 2018. In the same year, Sangfor was named "Cloud Infrastructure Provider of Excellence" at the “China Cloud Computing Ecosystem Summit” in Beijing.

Their NGAF product was expanded in 2018, integrating complex security features like firewall, IPS, anti-virus, anti-malware, APT, URL filtering, sandboxing and WAF.
