The recent focus on cybersecurity by the US Administration, as well as new cybersecurity regulations within the financial services sector, create significant growth opportunities for Intercede. In addition, as Intercede addresses the challenges of securing the IoT, we will be uniquely positioned to expand from being a trusted supplier of niche solutions to a mainstream force in digital trust and security. I look forward to joining this highly regarded team at such a pivotal time."
