Cellebrite, the Israeli-founded digital intelligence firm, has completed the acquisition of Corellium, a US-based developer of Arm-based virtualization software, in a deal valued at $170 million. The move positions Cellebrite as a leading provider of end-to-end AI-powered digital investigation and intelligence solutions.
The addition of Corellium’s technology and engineering talent extends Cellebrite’s platform beyond physical device forensics into virtual device testing and real-time intelligence. The combined offering allows law enforcement, defence, and enterprise security teams to work without physical device constraints while accelerating evidence collection, vulnerability discovery, and mobile application testing.
Thomas E. Hogan, Cellebrite’s Chief Executive, said the acquisition “raises the bar for how technology can better protect citizens, communities, businesses and nations,” and welcomed Corellium co-founder Chris Wade to the company’s leadership team as Chief Technology Officer. Wade described Cellebrite as the “ideal home” for Corellium’s technology, noting the opportunity to accelerate innovation for customers.
The deal received approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), subject to a national security agreement with relevant government agencies. Financial terms include $150 million in cash at closing, $20 million in equity, and up to $30 million in performance-based payouts over two years.
Customers have already noted the benefits of the integration. A European intelligence agency highlighted the unified platform’s capacity to cover the full spectrum of mobile security and forensics, while a Fortune 100 telecommunications firm reported tripling its penetration testing coverage and reducing costs by more than 60%.
