Nellore Capital Opposes Thoma Bravo's Proposed Acquisition of Magnet Forensics On February 9, 2023, Nellore Capital Management LLC announced that the proposed transaction, which is a structurally unfair, opportunistic and undervalued deal, can be blocked by a simple majority of unconflicted Subordinate Voting Shareholders. Nellore Capital stated that the Company' compounding opportunity ahead is worth significantly more than the CAD$44.25 being offered per Subordinate Voting Share and Nellore Capital conservatively estimates current intrinsic value to be CAD$60 – 70 per share and growing annually by CAD$13 – 20. Nellore Capital estimates that the Company will earn USD$50 – 60mm FCF in 2024. Nellore Capital expressed that Thoma Bravo is acquiring the business for just 20 – 25x FCF, at a highly opportunistic time as the company's margins are just recovering from a recent investment cycle. In addition, Nellore Capital stated that the Company’s' senior management and board chair must believe the long-term value potential is far greater than CAD$44.25, since they have negotiated only for themselves the right to maintain their interests, an opportunity being denied to the public holders of Subordinate Voting Shares.

Magnet Forensics Previews New and Upcoming Product Updates to Magnet Digital Investigation Suite at Magnet Summit 2022 Magnet Forensics previewed a host of new and upcoming product updates for the Magnet Digital Investigation Suite at its Magnet Summit 2022 conference. Magnet Summit 2022 conference, which is taking place in-person between April 12 and April 14 and virtually April 20 to April 28, 2022. Over three days and in front of a group of customers and global digital forensics experts, Magnet Forensics highlighted its recent innovations to Magnet AUTOMATE and Magnet ATLAS and showcased a major new release of Magnet REVIEW. Together, these three solutions make up the Magnet Digital Investigation Suite, which enables public safety organizations and enterprises to streamline their workflows, increase collaboration and accelerate their digital investigations with automation and analytics. Both police agencies and enterprises are struggling with the growth in volume and complexity in digital evidence and the Magnet Digital Investigation Suite is designed to directly address challenges encountered during each step of an investigation. Investigations are stalled during evidence processing because the number of devices and amount of data investigators are handling outweighs their ability to rapidly deliver results. Magnet AUTOMATE provides a solution by automating evidence processing and getting results in the hands of investigators in a timely fashion. Agencies also lose efficiency throughout evidence review and analysis due to the challenges digital forensics professionals and investigators encounter during their collaboration and in storing evidence. Magnet REVIEW enables investigators to remotely review digital evidence and to share it with stakeholders inside and outside their organizations in a secure and auditable fashion. Magnet ATLAS, meanwhile, breaks down silos and permits agencies to manage data related to their digital investigations from one centralized and secure location. Magnet Forensics recently delivered new versions of Magnet AUTOMATE and Magnet ATLAS and will imminently release a new version of Magnet REVIEW. With these updates, users of the Magnet Digital Investigation Suite will be able to: View key source device details in a convenient, at-a-glance format with the new Magnet REVIEW Device Dashboard; Leverage customizable multi-artifact views in Magnet REVIEW to highlight important evidence items for investigators so they can complete their reviews even more effectively; Automatically process data from several new sources, including Magnet DVR Examiner, warrant returns and other cloud data packages with Magnet AUTOMATE; Add further automation and control to their Magnet AUTOMATE workflows with device platform autodetection and job queue prioritization; Monitor the progression of casework through the assignment, tracking and completion of tasks with the new Magnet ATLAS Task Manager; and Easily add file attachments to items in Magnet ATLAS, both from their internal systems as well as Magnet AXIOM or Magnet AUTOMATE.

Magnet Forensics Launches Magnet Ignite to Help Enterprises Better Identify and Assess Cyber Threats with Rapid, Remote Triage Magnet Forensics announced the launch of Magnet IGNITE, a cloud-based triage solution enabling businesses to perform rapid, remote scans of target endpoints for malicious and insider activity. Magnet IGNITE can triage multiple remote endpoints at once to provide digital forensic and incident response teams with an early case assessment that will guide the next steps of their investigations into cyber threats. By quickly gathering intelligence and assessing a potential ransomware attack or an insider's exfiltration of intellectual property, Magnet IGNITE helps enterprises understand where and when they need to deploy full forensic analyses. Cybercriminals may only require minutes to successfully carry out a data breach, but security teams require an average of 69 days to contain them, according to IBM and the Ponemon Institute. The longer they take to identify and respond to a data breach, the greater the damage will be. Full digital forensic analyses are a staple of post-incident strategies, but they can also take dozens or even hundreds of hours to complete on multiple endpoints. Security teams cannot afford to waste time and resources by running full forensic analyses on multiple endpoints that haven't been impacted by an attack. Small and medium sized businesses, meanwhile, often do not have internal digital forensics capabilities or the resources to hire a third party to investigate every potential threat. Both require the means to quickly verify malicious activity and to narrow the focus of their investigations. Magnet IGNITE is the first solution to graduate from the Magnet Idea Lab, an incubator made up of a sizeable community of beta testers that help the company develop the next generation of digital forensics technology. Since March 2021, 263 users tested Magnet IGNITE. The group included professional service providers and Fortune 500 companies in the telecommunications, healthcare and technology sectors. With Magnet IGNITE, enterprises can: Perform rapid and remote triaging of endpoints from anywhere, at any time with the cloud; Scan internet history, cloud storage, USB connection history, installed apps, memory and other volatile data and recently accessed files and folders for malicious or insider activity; Accelerate response to cyber attacks by triaging multiple remote endpoints at once; Share findings with internal and external stakeholders using easy-to-use built-in web review tool; Export findings to Magnet AXIOM Cyber to begin full forensic analysis of endpoints.

Magnet Forensics Introduces Magnet Automate Enterprise Magnet Forensics Inc. announced the release of Magnet AUTOMATE Enterprise, a solution that is transforming how organizations respond to security events by automating and accelerating cybersecurity investigations. Leveraging automation technology, Magnet AUTOMATE Enterprise synchronizes detection and incident response solutions to immediately trigger investigations, automates basic and repetitive tasks and enables forensic analysts to simultaneously recover and process evidence from multiple endpoints. This approach reduces the time enterprises need to respond to and recover from cybersecurity incidents. It takes only minutes, not hours, for cybercriminals to penetrate the defenses of enterprises. According to Microsoft, some ransomware attacks are completed in under 45 minutes. Once access is gained, ransomware requires only three seconds to begin encryption. The response time to security incidents, however, is often slowed because forensic analysts need to manually launch each step of an investigation. Hours are lost as investigations stall between shifts, in evenings, on weekends and during holidays. Every additional second required to respond to a cybersecurity incident not only gives cybercriminals the opportunity to potentially steal more data, but it also increases the downtime for enterprises, which could cause monetary and reputational damages.
