I would expect OSI to raise funds next year (unless it it taken over first).

And I'm also expecting a period of very positive OSI newsflow in the near future, driving the share price to much higher levels ahead of that fundraising.

In fact, I would prefer a situation like this to one where a company doesn't need to raise funds for quite a while, and is happy to let the share price drift in the interim.

Considering how some related companies have been doing recently, a placing at multiples of the current share price isn't impossible.

Look at Corero Network Security (CNS), which had relatively recently risen well over four-fold in under a year (3.6p to 16p), despite making big losses.
Currently 10.5p, market capitalisation £51.96 million.

Sold out years ago soon after those earlier posts when I realised that revenue was not growing exponentially, and raising cash to cover overheads. Might buy back in, depends whether they have to tap shareholders again, but then again it might become a takeover target at these levels if what is written above comes to fruition!

An important online event very soon that OSI is speaking at and sponsoring, with thanks to Onebagger on LSE -

"Cyber Security in Healthcare 2021

Online Event
23rd September 2021, 9:00am - 4:00pm ...

Overview

The NHS is made up of more than 8,000 organisations with many more across the wider health and care sector. This makes maintaining robust cyber security a challenge. There has been a surge of new digital technologies being used in healthcare in the last few years and ever-larger quantities of data are being generated. This provides opportunities to improve the health and care, but also presents enormous risks in protecting data and maintaining safety, privacy and trust of patients.

In 2017 the WannaCry global cyber attack compromised IT across the NHS and demonstrated its vulnerability. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused an increase in cyber criminals targeting healthcare organisations with scams and phishing emails.

Cyber resilience in healthcare is now a high priority and organisations are being encouraged to take a proactive rather than reactive approach to securing networks, devices and data. This event will provide valuable insight into what steps organisations across the healthcare supply chain are taking to improve cyber security. It will detail the latest resources and support that is available from government and NHS agencies to support their initiatives. Best practice examples of innovative cyber security projects will be also detailed through case study examples.

You've got to remember, there are a lot of 'buy high, sell low' merchants in investing ... which is why many investors do so poorly.

A minority of investors seem to have the insight, intelligence, and discipline to position themselves ahead of big rises, by buying underpriced shares ready to move, rather than buying overpriced situations due a fall.


Some Bookbroker OSI posts when OSI was about £1 - £1.50 per share:-

bookbroker 4 May '17 - 18:59 - 17 of 274 0 1 0
"Good entry point, may fall a wee bit more, but signing of new contracts early in year should generate a fair bit more revenue, and costs incurred in ramping up sales force should abate."

bookbroker 4 Oct '17 - 12:04 - 32 of 274 0 1 0
"Young company making big waves, reach for your surfboards, this is going to race baby!"

The latest Bookbroker OSI posts, when it's share price is far lower, and its outlook much better:

bookbroker 14 Aug '21 - 21:20 - 207 of 274 0 1 1
"At that price it is no wonder this company is going to sink without trace."

bookbroker 15 Aug '21 - 03:25 - 210 of 274 0 0 0
"So when they forecast to make a profit?"


There may be some very sad and embittered former OSI shareholders out there, but their losses are their own fault for buying in at the wrong time.

Nobody was forced to buy in, and people should take responsibility for their own mistakes.

Corrientes,

Bizarre!! If OSI's products aren't modern enough, then why are its sales going through the roof, consistently winning contracts against its larger competitors?

And if you don't think that OSI is investable, then why did you buy about £2K. of OSI shares last month?

And if there's no interest, then why are you posting on this thread?
That is a self-contradiction.

I suppose you've sold for a gain of about 5% or so, and are now bashing it with silly b.s. in the hope of rebuying cheaper!

And you can't even get the company's ticker right, calling it OMI rather than OSI!!


'Resting on its past laurels'? Are you blind?!

The company's investment into R&D is striking, and its regular attendance at online industry events is notable.

OSI's interim results are due his month, and will make clear just how well the company is doing.

Astute investors have been buying in ahead of that, which is why the OSI share price is in a rising channel.

Here's some technical analysis for the stock from SwingTradeBot:

"Technical Analysis for IRON - Ironveld Plc"
"ADX Long Term Intermediate Term Short Term
Strong Up Up Flat"

And from TradingView.com:

"OSIRIUM TECHNOLOGIES PLC ORD 1P"

I know nothing about cybersecurity, but I see that since the recent OMI report, there has been absolutely no interest whatsoever in this stock. You'd think that in this 'red hot' sector, there'd at least be a modicum of interest shown. A larger buyer could easily buy this company for petty cash if it felt the product was any good.

Just maybe this company is no longer mainstream or modern enough to warrant any close attention, resting on its past laurels, for if that's not the case, I'd expect the share price to be a good deal higher than it is.

Therefore I can only conclude that on the evidence shown so far, OSI is not a happening or investable company, and I remain to be convinced otherwise.

"4 Cybersecurity Stocks to Buy on Rising Ransomware Attacks

Sreoshi Bera
Wed, 8 September 2021, 11:59 amĀ·5-min read

Cybersecurity is now a megatrend as an increasing number of companies are investing in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud tech during the pandemic. The shift to e-commerce and remote working practices demands huge exposure to AI and cloud computing solutions but also pushes firms to consider cybersecurity risks.

Government and businesses are dealing with a number of sophisticated cyber threats that are disrupting daily work and are difficult to prevent. From wiper malware to firmware and evil AI, ransomware has taken the spotlight and is responsible for several attacks. In recent months, multiple high-profile cyberattacks have made businesses question the security of their networks and infrastructure. Some of them are REvil ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline, the SolarWinds’ hack, and the cyberattack on the world’s largest meat supplier, JBS.

President Joe Biden has been stressing on strengthening the country’s cybersecurity and on Aug 25, he organized a summit on national cybersecurity, hosting executives from major technology, financial, and energy companies. At the summit, Biden said that “our critical infrastructure is owned and operated by the private sector” and it is difficult for the federal government to meet the challenge alone.

Among the attendees was Microsoft Corporation’s MSFT Satya Nadella who said that the tech giant will invest $20 billion over the next five years to speed up cybersecurity work. Microsoft will also provide $150 million in technical services to help federal, state, and local governments to keep their security systems up to date. Additionally, Google’s parent Alphabet committed $10 billion toward security efforts in an attempt to offer digital-skill certifications to 100,000 American workers. Meanwhile, IBM said it will train 150,000 people in cybersecurity skills.

The challenge at present is that the emerging fields of AI and cloud computing are aiding cybercriminals and hacking groups. AI characteristically can evolve and adapt to situations, hence AI-assisted smarter and autonomous malware can adapt to changing circumstances and learn how to improve tactics to pull off advanced attacks. Researchers have already demonstrated that early-stage AI is significantly better than humans at launching phishing attacks and crafting viral tweets and many companies really don’t have strong firewalls to see what advance evil AI can do. Advancing technologies have cultivated deepfakes that could potentially trigger political crises and incriminate innocent people.

Given the current scenario, going back into the handwritten paper documentation era is not an option. Instead, government and businesses need to strengthen cybersecurity and public-private partnerships to address the ongoing cyberattacks and threats. There is high demand for next-generation security software and per Gartner’s forecast, spending on information security and risk management technology and services may grow 12.4% to reach $150.4 billion in 2021, globally. Per records, at present, cybercrimes, which include damage and destruction of data, stolen money, lost property, intellectual property theft, etc., cost the world almost $600 billion each year. Hence, the adoption of cybersecurity solutions is expected to grow. ..."

"Cybersecurity Stocks Rally On Palo Alto Earnings Beat Amid Ransomware Attacks

REINHARDT KRAUSE07:55 AM ET 08/25/2021

You may think the time is right to move into cybersecurity stocks, if you're reading this IBD investing primer. Cybersecurity is in the news amid a big jump in ransomware attacks.

Cybersecurity stocks rallied Aug. 24 after Palo Alto Networks (PANW) reported better-than-expected earnings. The guidance of PANW stock also came in above views.

In addition, CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) was added to the Nasdaq-100 index. CrowdStrike stock reports earnings on Aug. 31.

Okta (OKTA) reports on Sept. 1 and Zscaler (ZS) on Sept. 9.

The rise of cryptocurrency Bitcoin may be tied to a spike in ransomware attacks. In ransomware attacks, hackers take over computer systems, encrypt files and demand digital payment to restore access to critical data.

The IBD Computer-Software Security group ranks No. 39 out of 197 industry groups surveyed.

The cybersecurity market will grow 11% in 2021 to $73.54 billion, estimates research firm Gartner. Morgan Stanley recently surveyed chief security officers.

"Among the CSOs surveyed, 92% cited a heightened cyber threat environment as a primary reason for accelerating security spend in 2021, suggesting that recent cyberattacks are starting to impact enterprise budget decisions," said the report.

Hot Cybersecurity Startups Eye IPOs

Private equity firms continue to eye cybersecurity stocks. Thoma Bravo in April agreed to buy Proofpoint in an all-cash $12.3 billion deal.

Among new developments: SentinelOne (S)'s initial public offering raised $1.2 billion. SentinelOne competes with CrowdStrike and others.

Meanwhile, analysts say Netskope, Illumio and Menlo Security are among cloud security startups that could launch IPOs. Netskope in early July raised $300 million at a valuation of $7.5 billion.

Analysts say a new wave of startups seems to be taking share from industry incumbents. They include Cybereason, Exabeam, Vectra AI and iBoss.

"Illumio just completed a Series F round for $225 million of 100% primary capital led by Thoma Bravo, where Illumio now sports a $2.75 billion post-round valuation," said Needham analyst Alex Henderson in a report.

Darktrace (DARK) launched its IPO on the London stock exchange in April. Darktrace utilizes self-learning artificial intelligence tools in security automation.

Consolidation may be coming in the cybersecurity industry. Okta in early March acquired privately held Auth0 in a $6.5 billion, all-stock deal. Also, Okta is expanding into new security markets to take on CyberArk Software (CYBR) and SailPoint Technologies (SAIL).

Microsoft Stock A Big Player In Cybersecurity

Also, Microsoft (MSFT) disclosed that its cybersecurity revenues top $10 billion annually. With 400,000 customers, Microsoft's computer security franchise is growing at more than 40%, the company said.

Microsoft in July acquired RiskIQ, a security threat management company. Bloomberg reported that Microsoft paid around $500 million. Microsoft also bought CloudKnox Security in July.

In addition, Microsoft is integrating more security tools into its cloud-based Office 365 software. As it expands cloud-based security services, Microsoft could pressure more industry incumbents, such as Okta, CrowdStrike, and Splunk (SPLK).

"Microsoft is clearly pitching itself as offering a full security suite, a competitive advantage as customers increasingly want a unified view of threats," UBS analyst Karl Keirstead said in a recent note to clients. ...

Amid the rapid global spread of the coronavirus called Covid-19, many companies instructed employees to work from home. That has increased demand for computer security products that support remote work.

The coronavirus emergency and shift to remote work has accelerated the growth of cloud-based network security. So the industry now has a new term for the infrastructure that supports distributed workers and branch offices.

It's spelled SASE — pronounced "sassy" — and it stands for Secure Access Service Edge.

"We are still in the early innings of a paradigm shift to cloud security architecture, including SASE and Zero Trust," Credit Suisse analyst Brad Zelnick said in a recent report to clients.

Cybersecurity Stocks: Remote Work Increases Amid Pandemic

Research firm Gartner forecasts that the corporate computer security market will grow more than 10% on average annually through 2024 versus 3% growth for information technology department spending.

As remote workers access company data via the internet, many businesses are setting up virtual private networks, or VPNs. Some are buying laptops with preinstalled security software. ...

Meanwhile, one view is that mergers and acquisitions will pick up.

"The cloud has disrupted everything, which presents both threat and opportunity," Jefferies analyst Brent Thill said in a recent note. "The cyber market is riper than ever for ongoing consolidation. Many smaller vendors are attempting to solve the same problems, larger vendors are looking to create security suites, and financing rates are at all-time lows." ...

Cybersecurity Products Battle Ransomware, Phishing

Cybersecurity stocks span a wide-range of products and services. In addition, some security vendors are shifting to software-based subscription business models from selling hardware appliances.

Further, it behooves an investor to know which cybersecurity stocks address ransomware, phishing or other kinds of cyberattacks. Proofpoint specializes in email and data-loss protection.

Cloud security vendors include Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks, Okta, Mimecast and Rapid7.

Hackers often aim to compromise networks by targeting employees or management who have administrative access. CyberArk manages privileged accounts. In addition, Okta provides identity management services.

To slow down hackers, more companies are focusing on internal security threats though a strategy known as Zero Trust.

In addition, traditional security measures aim to keep the bad guys out of corporate networks. Further, network firewalls focus on intruders from the public internet.

Zero Trust cybersecurity models focus on internal threats, such as hackers stealing someone's security credentials. Security firms verify the identity of network users and limit access to applications.

CrowdStrike, Okta, Netskope and Proofpoint recently formed a Zero Trust alliance.

Targeting Zero Trust security, Cisco Systems (CSCO) in 2018 acquired Duo Security for $2.35 billion. ..."

Today RNS certainly highlights what an apt name OSI is for this stock.

Conjuring up, as it does, thoughts of Ozzy Osborne's antics:

"... "Ozzy" Osbourne ... He rose to prominence during the 1970s as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, during which period he adopted the nickname "Prince of Darkness". ...
In 1981, after signing his first solo career record deal, Osbourne bit the head off a dove ... On 20 January 1982, Osbourne bit the head off a bat ..."


Only instead of biting the heads off animals, OSI is metaphorically 'biting the heads off' ransomware attacks.

And that could potentially prevent a very 'black sabbath' for the customers OSI helps.

Or perhaps I should say a very 'DARK sabbath' ...

Well done to OSI for undertaking such useful research on ransomware, and for sharing the findings publicly.

It is sobering, and indeed chilling, to learn that over two thirds of UK businesses surveyed have experienced at least one ransomware attack in the past year.
Clearly the possibility of such attacks needs to be treated as almost a certainty by businesses, rather than as something exceptional.

But equally clearly there is mass business ignorance on this issue.
It's stunning to learn that although only 2% of respondents didn't know that backups are a target of ransomware attacks, barely a third take extra precautions to protect them.
Well, they could be in for a very rude awakening.

Thank goodness that OSI is here to provide such a simple and cost-effective solution.
No wonder their business is booming, as they service this huge market opportunity.

08/09/2021 07:00 RNSNON Osirium Technologies PLC Release of findings from Osirium Ransomware Index

Osirium research finds UK businesses vulnerable to ransomware attacks

Osirium Technologies plc (AIM: OSI), a leading vendor of cloud-based cybersecurity software, has today released findings from a research report it has undertaken, suggesting many UK businesses are not sufficiently protecting their critical IT recovery systems should a cyber-attack occur.

The Osirium Ransomware Index surveyed 1,001 IT managers in the UK and found that 80% of businesses rely on backups (whereby a copy of computer data is taken and stored elsewhere) as a plan of recovery should a cyber-attack occur. Yet despite this reliance, only a minority take extra precautions of using privileged access management to protect their backups, leaving the bulk of UK businesses vulnerable to attack, as our report highlights.

Key findings of the report:

- Overall, 79% (4 in 5 businesses) surveyed admitted that they have experienced at least one ransomware attack, with 68% of these stating the attack occurred in the past year.

- Despite 98% of respondents saying they were aware that backups are a target of ransomware attacks, over half do not keep offline backups and only 35% take extra precautions to protect access to backups and backup management systems.

David Guyatt, CEO of Osirium, commented: "Cyber-attacks on UK businesses remain a very real threat and unfortunately is an everyday occurrence for organisations across all sectors with potentially profound consequences. Our report highlights the degree of vulnerability that persists, with 58% of UK businesses surveyed only feeling 'somewhat prepared' for the eventuality of a ransomware attack. M any businesses know they need to bolster their backup protection, and this awareness continues to drive new opportunities for our privileged access management solutions."

Some excellent points Happydays.

And obviously OSI doesn't have to sell to customers directly: for a customer just wanting one cyber security supplier, OSI can sell to it via one of its 31 reseller and distribution partners:

"Reseller Partners
Osirium's Reseller and Distribution Partners ..."



Including for example NTT, a leading, global technology services company:

"Why choose NTT?

• Keeping you secure
We mitigate 2 billion security threats every year.

• Deep expertise
Over 2,000 cybersecurity specialists.

• Global scale
More than 15,000 security engagements with clients spanning 57 countries across multiple industries.

• Global insights
6.2 billion attacks analysed; global Security Operations Centers; 7 R&D centers."




And OSI could of course end up being acquired by one of its partners, which could make very good business sense for the partner concerned.

True in one sense Kaos and goes to explain why a lot of cyber companies, especially product based have a long lead up until they get rolling. For OSI, David has previously mentioned a 'land and expand' strategy and that they have recently developed complemnatray products is a plus. They also offer some free products which will help get foots :) into doors.

When I get chance I'll post a link to interview with Bill Crowell, bit of a cyber expert who explains that unlke other sectors were top 3-5 take lion share, cyber is a much more fragmented market.

and also Privileged Endpoint Management

What is Privileged Endpoint Management?


Privileged Endpoint Management, or PEM, removes the need for local administrator accounts from the computers that every worker has access to every day. Traditionally this has prevented users from doing their work or caused increased workload for IT help desks.

PEM allows organisations to remove local administrator rights from users, while at the same time enabling them to have escalated privileges only for specific processes and executables. The balance tips back towards productivity while increasing the organisation’s security posture.
