Mike Read, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Falanx, commented:
“The ever-growing threats which Cyber-attacks pose are becoming more prevalent, providing an increasing opportunity for Falanx. We have worked very hard to strengthen the management team and improve our routes to market – the result of this is bearing fruit.
We are extremely excited by the opportunity which our SolarWinds partnership creates and, though this has led to an increased investment in resource, we are highly confident the opportunity for Falanx is significant.
Recurring revenues continue to be a major focus for Falanx and our pipeline of new business is at record levels. As we continue to develop our suite of Cyber Security solutions, we view the future for Falanx and our loyal shareholders with considerable confidence.”
