Data443 Expands Its Global Customer, Technology Base with Transformative Acquisition of Select Israel-based Cyren Ltd. Assets


Onboarding Customers Representing Over $15 Million in Unaudited FY 2022 Revenue

Cyren’s Threat Intelligence Service Protects Over 1 Billion Users Globally

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., and HERZLIYA, Israel, May 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (OTCPK: ATDS) (“Data443” or the “Company”), a data security and privacy software company for "All Things Data Security," today announces that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire select assets from Cyren Ltd. (“Cyren”). The acquisition will expand Data443's capabilities and product offerings, solidifying its position as a market leader in the data security and privacy industry.

The transaction greatly expands Data443’s data security and protection capabilities and augments its cyber threat intelligence (CTI) services. These offerings, coupled with the Company’s award-winning ransomware protection and recovery capabilities, continue to challenge the rapidly expanding marketplace, which includes vendors such as: Crowdstrike, Google/Mandiant, SentinelOne, Cisco and Microsoft.

Under the terms of the agreement, Data443 will acquire goodwill, clients and Cyren's proprietary technology and intellectual property related to three services: threat intelligence, URL categorization and email security. The transaction, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2023, will enable Data443 to enhance its existing product portfolio and accelerate the development of next-generation solutions. Cyren's technology is based on a combination of artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data analytics, which has enabled Cyren to identify and mitigate threats in real time and much earlier than its competitors. 

“Cyren is a leader in emerging and high-volume risk mitigation for some of the world’s largest name brand organizations we all use today,” stated Jason Remillard, Data443’s CEO and founder. “This business has a tremendous track record, providing fast-breaking threat detection services and threat intelligence to major firewall vendors, email providers and leading cybersecurity vendors, as well as other industries such as a gaming console manufacturer and the world’s largest shopping and e-commerce providers. Our goal is to expand beyond the OEM market into the larger enterprise market. The threat intelligence market is massive – an $18 billion-plus market opportunity growing at a 20.3% CAGR.” (Fortune Business Insights)

Remillard continued: “This acquisition represents a significant milestone in our strategic growth plan, and we expect it to strengthen our competitive position by broadening our product offerings and enhancing our technological capabilities. We have already identified several opportunities to enhance our technology stack, and we intend to engage with former technical staff to ensure smooth integration. To date, Data443 has acquired and integrated nine other technology providers into the Company, which makes us confident in our ability to execute.”

The acquisition comes after Cyren filed for bankruptcy protection in Israel earlier this year. Data443 expects that its purchase of these assets will enable Cyren's cutting-edge technology to reach its fullest potential while customers realize uninterrupted service and gain access to Data443’s product suite.

The transaction comes after receiving awards in 2023 for its Ransomware Recovery Manager from PC Magazine (PC Magazine Selects Data443’s Ransomware Recovery Manager as One of the Best Ransomware Protections for 2023 - InvestorWire (IW)) and multiple releases of its cloud and enterprise data archiving and managed file transfer platform. 

The Company expects the acquisition to be accretive once completed.
