(TSXV: PLUR) (OTCQB: PLCKF) (“Plurilock” or the “Company”), a global cybersecurity services and solutions provider, announces that it has engaged Clear Street as its financial advisor to assist the board and management in refining U.S. strategic options.
Plurilock generated $70.4 million in revenue for the year ending December 31, 2023. These revenues come from an integrated cyber security company platform that includes: Hardware & Software Sales, Managed Critical Services, and Plurilock AI SaaS Platform. 89% of Plurilock’s business is conducted in the U.S., with the U.S. Federal Government representing the Company’s largest customer. The ecosystem of U.S. Government customers and partners is the foundation of Plurilock’s business, as the Company is intertwined with agencies across Homeland Security and Defense, Energy and Agriculture, Transportation and Commerce, Health and Human Services, and Justice, among others.
Plurilock has recently added prominent Americans to the Company’s Industry Advisory Council including former CrowdStrike Board Member / AppDynamics President Joe Sexton and former White House Lawyer / Senior CIA Officer Bryan Cunningham. This builds on Plurilock’s American leadership, which also includes Company board members: Jennifer Swindell who was formerly Senior Vice President of Booz Allen Hamilton and a Special Operations Officer in the U.S. Navy, and; Ed Hammersla who was formerly head of Raytheon Cyber Products and Chief Strategy Officer of Forcepoint.
This strategic review aims to amplify Plurilock’s growth trajectory and market presence by leveraging the robust opportunities available in the U.S. technology sector. With the increasing demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions, Plurilock is strategically positioned to expand its footprint and enhance shareholder value.
“Plurilock Security is at the forefront of protecting organizations against evolving cyber threats. By engaging with Clear Street, we aim to explore avenues that will not only bolster our visibility but also attract a wider investor base,” said Ian L. Paterson, CEO of Plurilock Security. “We believe that U.S. capital markets and acquisitions strategies better support Plurilock’s growth and valuing the platform properly with growth focused investors who will support it.”
