According to an article on ISMG's website, bankinfosecurity.com, written by Michael Novinson on May 17, 2023; "Data443's revenue plummeted in 2022 due to economic uncertainty and some products shifting from one-time license sales with annual maintenance contract renewals to time-based subscriptions, which resulted in fewer customers paying for subscriptions or renewals. Sales sank to $2.6 million, down 27.2% from $3.6 million the year prior, while net loss surged from $6.5 million in 2021 to $9.7 million in 2022."
Therefore, the sale of Cyren to Data443 may NOT be the solution that the community was hoping for. I would hope that SmarterTools leadership understand that we need additional options soonest.
I would also think that SmarterTools has a good bargaining position Data443 to negotiate a deal that lowers our costs or gets us a one-time discount on the next renewal.
In addition, I was not aware of this issue at all until I saw this thread and started doing my own research. I'm sure a lot more folks would be upset to learn that eMail filtering is not as good as could be.
