Management Comments

Commenting on the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, Brian Haugli, President and Chief Executive Officer of SideChannel, said, "Enclave, our Zero Trust software platform, is gaining strong traction with two Department of Defense clients already onboard and clear opportunities to expand both within these organizations and into additional DoD agencies. We are focused on building on this momentum to capture more of this high-value market."

Haugli continued, "At DEFCON 33, we also launched our Insider Threat program, led by Vice President Lauren Trujillo, which leverages Enclave's Zero Trust capabilities to help clients identify, contain, and mitigate risks from within their organizations. Early client interest has been encouraging, and we see this as a powerful complement to Enclave's broader security benefits."

"With growing adoption in critical markets and an expanded vCISO services portfolio, we are well positioned to modernize and strengthen the cybersecurity defenses of our clients while driving long-term growth for SideChannel."
