“In addition to year over year revenue growth, Nubeva reported an 81% decrease in total comprehensive loss for the year and strengthened its balance sheet with a 77% increase in working capital. Juliet Jones, CFO stated, “Sales are expected to continue to grow year over year, driving the Company towards positive cash flow.”
The demand for a modern decryption solution is growing. Today, nearly all traffic on the internet and in private enterprises is encrypted using the TLS protocol. Accelerating cyber-threats and growing regulatory requirements are pushing the adoption of the latest TLS standards for the highest levels of protection. While essential, it also hides vital details required to inspect communications to defend from threats and identify and resolve application performance issues. Security and application tools that have previously decrypted traffic to enable deep network inspection now have growing gaps due to these changes in TLS and continued transformations in computing, networking, and security strategies.
Nubeva provides a next-generation software technology solution for the lawful decryption of TLS traffic. Growing numbers of cybersecurity and application assurance manufacturers and service providers are licensing Nubeva SKI technology to embed into their offerings to fill those gaps and deliver greater capability and value to their customers. Nubeva expands markets, accelerates their sales, and reduces support costs and complexities.
“Our SKI technology has been validated and continues to mature, and our sales pipeline continues to grow,” said Randy Chou, Founder and CEO. “We believe that we are at the beginning of a market technology transition and are incredibly well-positioned for market share capture and growth in the coming year and beyond.”
