Items this document does not state (7)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Against a backdrop of AI-driven cyberattacks becoming faster, more widespread and more autonomous, as well as a shortage of specialist companies that local businesses can consult about security measures and recovery from damage, the Company will strengthen its collaboration with Keyware, which has a regional customer base, in order to provide security support and incident response to customers nationwide.
