The Company, along with other subsidiaries in the Group, has taken and is continuing to take, certain steps to mitigate the impact of the change in market conditions on its business (as further discussed in the consolidated financial statements of the group in which the entity is consolidated), its short-term growth outlook, and also to support and accelerate the Company's strategic transition to be a next-generation cybersecurity leader. Actions to date have been successful at mitigating the downside impact of these global events.”
