Might be coincidence but last 4 trades were all small sells adding up to exactly 32,500 shares.
Sad market if mr 32,500 ran out of patience that quickly?

[bad gateway] 03/4/2024 11:34

[daicaprice] 03/4/2024 10:19

Mr 32,500 was obviously expecting a bit more interest this morning, looks like quite an exciting longer term play to me. Will be keeping an eye on it.

Smarttech247 Announces Integration of NoPhish Tool with Google Mail



Integration will see Enhanced Email Security Across Platforms



Smarttech247 (AIM: S247), a multi-award-winning provider of AI-enhanced cybersecurity services providing automated managed detection and response for a portfolio of international clients, is pleased to announce the expansion of its NoPhish tool to users of Google Mail.



NoPhish, Smarttech247's email security tool, previously only available on Microsoft Outlook, is designed to empower users in the fight against phishing and other email-based threats. By integrating with Google Mail this expansion provides comprehensive email security solutions for a wider audience.



NoPhish, which won Email Security Solution of the Year at the 2023 Computing Awards in London and is available for immediate use with Google Mail, enables users to report suspected emails with ease, playing a crucial role in enhancing individual and organisational cybersecurity.



Upon reporting, NoPhish employs advanced analysis algorithms to evaluate the content and legitimacy of the reported emails, offering instant feedback to the user. In cases where an email is identified as suspicious or malicious, NoPhish takes proactive measures by automatically removing the email from the user's inbox, thereby mitigating the risk of accidental exposure to harmful content.



Raluca Saceanu, CEO of Smarttech247, commented:



"We are delighted to bring NoPhish to Google Mail users. Our mission has always been to provide cutting-edge, user-friendly cybersecurity tools and by making NoPhish available on one of the world's most widely used email platforms, we are taking a significant step towards making the digital world safer for everyone.



"The integration signifies major advancement in email security, as Google Mail's extensive user base can now benefit from Smarttech247's phishing detection and response technology. This expansion is part of our ongoing efforts to adapt and evolve in the face of ever-changing cyber threats, ensuring users across various platforms can enjoy a safer email experience."

That level of control is a double-edged sword, and has both positives and negatives.

What should really determine the share price movement is whether the company can continue to grow its revenues and profits, and by how much.

That clearly isn't easy to determine in advance, even for investors who have a particular knowledge of this area, which is why it can sometimes be so hard to choose the winners from the losers in this game.
