29/11/2021 06:59 UK Regulatory (RNS & others) Osirium Technologies PLC Trading Update LSE:OSI Osirium Technologies Plc "Osirium Technologies plc (AIM: OSI), a leading vendor of cloud-based cybersecurity software, today provides an update on the trading for the current financial year ending 31 December 2021. The Group has continued to make good operational and strategic progress with an impressive c.70% increase in new customers in the second half of the year to date, compared to the same period in 2020, demonstrating success in the Group's growth opportunities. New customer acquisitions has been driven by the Group's increased reach into new markets and a more general acceleration of interest in Privileged Security products across a number of sectors. Average initial contract values have been lower and decision times longer, however, due to ongoing caution and disruption around customers' strategic IT plans, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the Board anticipates that bookings and revenue for the year to 31 December 2021 will be broadly at the same levels achieved in the prior year and slightly behind current market expectations. The Board anticipate a normalisation of customers' decision making in the New Year. Customer retention rates remain high at 97% by value, demonstrating the value customers attribute to the Group's solutions and providing further foundations for 'land-and-expand' strategy. As announced on 8 November 2021, Osirium's channel partner network is delivering opportunities overseas and domestically alongside the direct sales arm of the business, resulting in a growing number of leads. The Board will continue to assess and develop the Company's go-to-market strategies. The Group has built an established 'best-in-class' Privileged Security suite, comprising three complementary product offerings to engage an exciting and substantial market opportunity which the Directors believe will be valued at approximately $25 billion by 2025. As a result of these operational developments, the Group continues to add to its pipeline of opportunities for 2022. In addition to an expanded customer base and high level of customer retention, the Group has c.GBP1.5m of anticipated bookings from existing customer renewals due in 2022, as well as provide additional upside opportunities in 2022, as it further expands and deepens customer engagement. David Guyatt, CEO of Osirium, commented: "As a reflection of the demand for our services, we have continued to see growing customer numbers as we progress through the second half, along with sustained customer retention of >95% by value. While lower contract values have impacted our bookings and revenue, we believe our expanded market reach and penetration provides a good opportunity from which to execute our 'land-and-expand' strategy as the market continues to gain momentum and evolve. We will continue to review the Group's strategy for delivering long term shareholder value." Simon Lee, Chairman of Osirium, added: "While we remain confident in the long-term outlook for the Group and the demand for its services, we continue to consider the best options to ensure continued growth and to take advantage of the significant opportunities in the Privileged Security space."" https://uk.advfn.com/stock-market/london/osirium-technologies-OSI/share-news/Osirium-Technologies-PLC-Trading-Update/86669269 A decent OSI 2021 performance in the circumstances of the pandemic. Being only slightly behind market expectations isn't bad - it means that the company is close to meeting them. And turnover about the same as last year is relatively good, considering the turnover falls suffered by many other companies. The comments from the CEO and Chairman at the end are interesting, i.e. reviewing OSI's strategy to deliver value, and considering options to ensure continued growth etc. It sounds like the company could be considering putting itself up for sale - perhaps they have already had overtures that they are considering? At a market cap. of just a few £M., OSI is a sitting duck for a takeover.

Some small company shares have rebounded very well from the pandemic problems this year, whereas some haven't. Is there a pattern in this divergence? Well, it seems that shares more directly hit by the lock-downs, e.g. events companies, restaurants, etc., have been more likely to rebound, as the reopening etc. have more immediately benefitted them. Whereas many small IT services, software, and hardware companies have yet to rebound strongly. Two widespread problems here have been supply chain disruption, and customers deferring investment decisions. But these problems are temporary, and indeed are already diminishing. Which could create a very good recovery opportunity for investors. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the IT software and services sector becomes the best performer of 2022. So OSI could benefit from both growing business and improving sector sentiment, which would be an ideal environment in which to raise more funds.

OSI is one of those rare shares where the more I research it, the more I like it. Which his quite unusual: it's more common to uncover aspects that make me less keen on a share than otherwise. Many investors won't do this level of in-depth research into a share, and therefore won't have a full appreciation of it - good or bad. But true value always seems to out eventually in the end.

08/11/2021 07:00 RNSNON Osirium Technologies PLC Channel Partner and Marketing Update Growth in channel partners and geographies Osirium Technologies plc (AIM: OSI), a leading vendor of cloud-based cybersecurity software, today provides an update on its channel partner network and digital marketing strategy. The Group is pleased to announce contract wins in new territories including its first deals in the Netherlands, Ireland and Singapore, achieved through Osirium's channel partner network. These contracts underline the Group's 'land and expand' strategy which focuses on increasing contract values and device numbers following initial engagement. Osirium now has over 30 active partners across the UK and internationally, with a growing interest in new geographies including North America and South Asia. As a result, management expects the number of sales generated through these channels will increase in line with the growth in awareness of, and demand for, Privileged Access Security. With a reduction in the number of large trade shows typically seen before the pandemic, Osirium's pivot to digital marketing and virtual events has increased in traction and continues to drive new business in conjunction with its indirect sales arm. The Group is pleased to report it reached the total number of leads generated in 2020 by the end of September 2021 and has stepped up the automation of information campaigns via email. With a strengthening sales channel domestically and internationally, along with continued new business momentum in line with the Group's strategy, the Board remain confident in the Osirium's growth prospects. David Guyatt, CEO of Osirium, commented: "The indirect sales arm facilitated by our channel partner network represents a core element of our strategy, enabling us to access a wide range of geographies and scale further. Alongside this, our digital marketing strategy continues to accelerate and generate new leads. Importantly, our 'land and expand' strategy facilitates increased engagement with these new customers and provides the solid foundations for significant contracts." https://uk.advfn.com/stock-market/london/osirium-technologies-OSI/share-news/Osirium-Technologies-PLC-Channel-Partner-and-Marke/86484494

"29 OCTOBER 2021 MSPs and Ransomware - the weakest link Mark Warren The Risk of Supply Chain Ransomware It's an old proverb, but "a chain is as strong as its weakest link" still holds very true, especially when considering the possible ways an attacker can infect an organisation. Quite rightly, much attention has been paid to the risks of unwitting staff being the victims of increasingly complex phishing attacks. It's too easy to dupe someone to click an unsafe link or install an infected piece of software. There are many ways to defend against that weakness, including better training and software the limits the risk of installing malware. MSPs are a prime target But an increasingly rich vein of attack opportunities is the IT supply chain. That's a wide-ranging and complex set of potential attack vectors. For example, it may include the organisation's HR system supplier, the managers of their air conditioning, the host of their web server, and hundreds of other suppliers and partners involved in a modern business. For good business reasons, it's attractive to let external partners provide these specialists systems and services, so it's a fast-growing pattern for most IT teams to outsource systems that used to run on-premises. But, that growing dependency is also increasing the risk of attack. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are a rich target for attackers. It's just a question of economics: if they can infect one MSP, then all that MSP's customers become victims of the attack without more effort. Attacks via an MSP isn't a theoretical risk; here's a recent example of how the group behind the Solarwinds attack are shifting their focus towards MSPs. "This recent activity is another indicator that Russia is trying to gain long-term, systematic access to a variety of points in the technology supply chain and [to] establish a mechanism for surveilling -- now or in the future -- targets of interest to the Russian government" - Microsoft. Recently, Andy Harris wrote about this risk of the "buffalo jump" waterfall effect of an attack on an MSP. How Prepared are IT Teams? To understand the situation better, Osirium commissioned independent research to gather data which you can download in this free executive summary: "The Ransomware Index - Supplier Risk." The research shows that IT teams understand the risks to some degree but aren't yet doing enough to formalise their suppliers' protection requirements. Encouragingly, some fundamental protection can make a big difference. Crucially, access to the MSP's systems needs protection using access management. Privileged Access Management (PAM) ensures only the right people have access to those systems such as client management systems, remote access servers, databases and much more. You can find out how here. ‍For MSPs, the research shows that ransomware protection is a hot topic for their clients, so they should take more action to improve that service. It can also be a competitive differentiation in a fast-growing market. If you'd like to know more, please get in touch. The first part of the Ransomware Index focused on protecting backups to minimise damage from an attack and be ready to recover when an attack happens. That report is still available here."

Passwords are a risk area for ransomware attacks - "Cybersecurity Hackers Breached Colonial Pipeline Using Compromised Password By William Turton and Kartikay Mehrotra 4 June 2021, 20:58 BST" https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-04/hackers-breached-colonial-pipeline-using-compromised-password And Osirium’s privileged access management solution, Osirium PAM, can help - "23 OCTOBER 2015 Separating people from passwords Andy Harris ... Rigorous passwords policies are creating the exact opposite of their intended outcome ... The solution: separate people from passwords Having read the above, you may be thinking you can’t trust your staff with passwords at all, but the vast majority of your users will use online banking. You can be sure that where their own money is concerned they chose strong passwords. The banking systems do not ask for password changes every 30 days, yet historically, banking systems have proven secure. Online banking authentications systems use a second factor of authentication. The key point here is that banking systems seek to prove identity. Identity is the real key to security. In the corporate world, we really need to know who did what, where and when. Identity is the real key to security. In the corporate world, we really need to know who did what, where and when. Osirium’s privileged access management solution, Osirium PAM, works on the principle of separating people from passwords. Users still keep their personal passwords, and identity can be enhanced by two-factor authentication. Profiles then map identities into specific roles on specific devices, applications or systems. This means that your users can reach the systems that they need to, but they can get no further. Now users cannot use a connection to one system to jump to another. Using this approach creates real accountability. Whereas before you could have a situation where a team of people could all use a shared password to systems, now you have identities having sessions on systems. This provides businesses with the ability to know who did what, and when, meaning there’s nowhere to hide wrongdoings. This simple approach to managing privileged accounts provides a wealth of security and significantly reduces your companies attack surface, by taking the passwords you want to protect most out of the hands of your staff.

Ultimately, however, the funding round will help the company to accelerate its mission to help the world go passwordless.
