Cellebrite

Yoel Simhon and Shai Shoshani launched Cellebrite in 1999 to help investigators keep pace with the rapid spread of mobile technology. Their flagship product, Cellebrite UFED, quickly became the standard tool for unlocking and extracting data from smartphones used by law enforcement agencies around the globe. The company built its reputation on reliability, ensuring that critical digital clues could be recovered even when devices were locked or encrypted.

Today the firm operates from Petah Tikva, Israel, with fourteen offices stretching across the world including hubs in Washington D.C., Munich, and Singapore. Sun Corporation holds the largest single share of the publicly traded entity listed on NASDAQ under the ticker CLBT. In August 2026, the leadership team saw a major shift when Shiven Ramji took over as CEO from Thomas E. Hogan, stepping into the role during a period where the company adjusted its financial outlook for the year.

Beyond government work, Cellebrite has expanded its reach into the corporate sector with the launch of Cellebrite Genesis. This new platform integrates artificial intelligence to speed up investigations for enterprise clients facing internal security threats or compliance issues. Despite facing scrutiny over privacy concerns and technical vulnerabilities highlighted by researchers at Signal, the company continues to serve over 60,000 licenses in more than 150 countries. [edit]
