[kaka47] 23/1/2018 17:48

Sciper from what I heard they can't keep up with demand

[yump] 23/1/2018 16:32

What did the Germans ever do for us ?

[hurst68] 23/1/2018 15:43

Midgard will deliver , look out for German investors , they are there ,just have know where to look .See you there

[sclper] 23/1/2018 15:26

Yump - I doubt it. I don't think it will go anywhere until the financing is sorted out and the company demonstrates there is any demand from Midgard. From what I've read it hasn't been going well so far.

[kaka47] 23/1/2018 15:18

Takeover by optiv then

[yump] 23/1/2018 15:05

About to break upwards imo. Never mind the basics.

[rathean] 23/1/2018 14:08

Look to Optiv Security on the acquisition trail in the UK. They're looking to create a pan European cyber security leader through buying smaller businesses with highly skilled staff and assets.

Yump your point is well taken but it may work to Flx advantage. IMO many small medium size companies will want to off load the cyber security completely to an outside company. If something goes wrong then they can point the finger at the company.

[yump] 22/1/2018 14:34

Yes, it will take time and I think a lot longer than for health and safety, where the rules are quite easy to put in place based on common sense and are fairly exact. You put signs up for slippery floors and planks for barriers for holes etc. etc.

The rules for cyber are going to be very difficult to pin down into anything exact, so the starting point will simply be a stated process to minimise risk and the verification that companies are following that process. The rules are going to be very different for different businesses, whereas a construction site hole is a hole in any business and so is a dangerous liquid that requires the user to wear goggles.

As FLX themselves say, there are a lot of threats, which change over time, so I guess we can expect an 'expected to monitor' type piece of guidance from the new legislation, but with a very grey area as to the extent of monitoring, which will mean there could be an endless debate about whether any particular company should or shouldn't have prevented a cyber attack or data leak.

Its bad enough trying to establish responsibility for health and safety breaches.

[nearlythere] 22/1/2018 13:28

Yump

People said that about the health and safety organisation, now I doubt that after some of large fines, few companies do not consider heath and safety a priority, but it will take time, years not months. IMO it will take bank or a large company collapsing due to cyber crime and government having to pick up the pieces financially before we will start to see people being prosecuted for none compliance.

[kaka47] 22/1/2018 12:07

That's just your assumption Yump and obviously you know the game inside out

[onjohn] 22/1/2018 11:04

Talk is cheap. Wad is god

Another placing of 40m shares coming at 3p i suspect

[yump] 22/1/2018 10:59

If you think GDPR is actually going to be pursued into any legal enforcement action for non-compliance, you're living in cloud cuckoo land.

What will happen will be that companies will be required to show that they have processes in place. The actual processes will be entirely up to the companies to decide upon. All they will need to do is show that that they are complying with their own statements of process.

Like all British Standards and the rest. Except that with cyber-security, there are so many variables, constantly changing, that no external agency could possibly pin down a company into a breach.

No doubt there will be a few public examples made, to show that the authorities are worth the money they are paid, then it will go quiet.

The day that any of these monitoring organisations actually develop any teeth, will be the day that all mine have gone.

[kaka47] 22/1/2018 10:44

There is going to be a lot of PR leading up the GDPR implementation date

[kaka47] 22/1/2018 10:35

Formerly head of GCHQ drumming up PR for Cyber security sector on BBC 5 live it's scary

[nearlythere] 22/1/2018 10:28

Looks like the rampers and derampers are alive and well but the actual position IMO is, the share price is nearly same as it was on the 22 / 1 / 2017.( with an extra 29,000,000 shares issued). So after a year and 2 million pounds ( with a lot of BB posts forecasting from 100p to 1p) I am still waiting for the potential to be converted into something more than talk.
For the breakeven target to be hit a stream of contract news IMO will be needed or a big tie up as KAKA47 suggests, thankfully with only 2 months to go the truth is close at hand.

[yump] 22/1/2018 10:07

I still have a finger in the pie.

Google are interesting.

[owenski] 22/1/2018 09:56

Hope it's a washed toe ;-)

[on target] 22/1/2018 09:54

Stuck a toe in here this morning.

[owenski] 22/1/2018 09:43

Hopefully the latter, it's far more fun ;-)

[kaka47] 22/1/2018 08:22

Talk about your self

[yump] 22/1/2018 08:11

Can someone clarify if this is indeed an investment thread, or a 'post-whatever-mad-nonsense-comes-into-your-head' thread ?
