The Company continues to build a solid sales pipeline and is focused on hiring further sales, pre-sales and technical resources to enable growth.

The Company has seen an improvement in its revenue generating capability as a consequence of the Brace168 acquisition. With purchase orders including five new significant customers as well as growth in existing customers for penetration testing, network and application monitoring and code security reviews valued at $103,000 received subsequent to year end. Additionally, a further two renewals under a master licence agreement with a major customer, valued at $607,000, were received.

As the pandemic and economic environments improve across the world, the Board is confident of capitalising on the sales groundwork completed in the past year, to maximise the growth trajectory of the combined cyber security services business.
