New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 33% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (33% increase in shares outstanding). Breakeven Date Change • Oct 27

SSH Communications Security Announces Complete, Automated Integration Between PrivX PAM and PrivX Key Manager SSH Communications Security announced the complete and automated integration of their SSH key lifecycle management and privileged access management (PAM) solutions. The company's PrivX Just-in-Time PAM keeps organizations secure and their people productive. SSH's PrivX Key Manager extends this PAM functionality by discovering SSH keys and accounts, automating their management at scale and enabling the evolution to keyless access via unique ephemeral certificates with the push of a button. The importance of workload ID and secrets management, including SSH keys and passwords, as a critical capability for a PAM is emphasized by analysts such as Gartner and KuppingerCole, global leaders in security market research. KuppingerCole has recently recognized PrivX as an overall, product and innovation leader in their recent Enterprise Secrets Management Leadership Compass 2025. Like passwords, SSH keys are critical access credentials, a significant attack vector, and an audit failure point especially in large organizations with thousands of servers. Traditional PAM solutions typically discover only 20% of all SSH keys and can't properly manage them through a vault alone. This leads to non-compliance, security risks and opportunities for PAM bypasses. Reported Earnings • May 02

SSH Communications Security Oyj Announces Significant Enhancements to the Authentication Capacity of Its Solution Portfolio, the PrivX Zero Trust Suite SSH Communications Security announced significant enhancements to the authentication capacity of its solution portfolio, the PrivX Zero Trust Suite. PrivX Authorizer, including Device Trust Authorizer, provides more secure authentication for privileged users and their devices. Email phishing is an attack vector that leverages the weaknesses of credential-based authentication and weak MFA solutions. Hence, modern phishing-resistant MFA is needed, and modern SSH MFA solutions provide a powerful way to mitigate phishing attacks on authentication. Strong authentication and just-in-time authorization for super-users: Authentication using off-the-shelf products is enough for standard users. However, there are some critical systems and high-impact operations that require stricter access control and stricter authentication. The users for this are about 1 in 200: super-users or power users, such as administrators and application owners. For these sensitive users, PrivX Authorizer provides a phishing-resistant, biometrics-based advanced MFA that can authenticate the device and the user. The Device Trust solution continuously validates the device's security posture, terminating policy-contravening sessions automatically. Moreover, it can deny access based on anomalous user behavior, location, and time, or require re-authentication. Additionally, PrivX Authorizer will be able to facilitate and approve temporary role requests from other users. New Risk • Apr 14

SSH Communications Security Announces Enhancements to SSH Zero Trust Suite SSH Communications Security announced enhancements to SSH Zero Trust Suite, enabling tight integration for key users accessing critical and sensitive data with Microsoft Entra solutions. SSH Zero Trust Suite and Microsoft Entra allow customers to improve their cybersecurity posture in Identity and Access Management (IAM). This integration streamlines access control to sensitive and critical data. This solution serves SSH's customers in finance, government, retail, and critical infrastructure like factories, airports, container terminals, and electricity and water supplies. PrivX technology protects users' access to critical and sensitive data with tight access control. Most cybersecurity risks are caused by a few users - typically one out of 200 users. Traditional perimeter-based security has become costly and ineffective. Communications security between people, systems, and networks is more important than blocking access with firewalls. PrivX completes Microsoft Entra solutions in environments that require high security. SSH Zero Trust Suite tightens the screws limiting access to the minimum and replaces permanent authorizations with just-in-time and just-enough access. The solution creates an audit trail about who did what, when, with what device, and at what time in which time zone. SSH Zero Trust Suite controls access to critical and sensitive data based on true multi-factor authentication (MFA), replacing traditional unsecure token-based two-factor (2FA) authentications like SMS messages.

Ssh Launches Openssh Support Service for Multi-Platform Ssh Environments SSH launched a support service for OpenSSH. As a result, customers benefit from high-quality SSH support services also for the open-source variant of SSH software. OpenSSH will be supported on Windows and Red Hat Linux platforms. The SSH protocol is a secure network protocol used to establish encrypted and secure remote connections and transfer data between different systems. OpenSSH is an open-source implementation of the SSH protocol. It was initially released as a free version of SSH’s Tectia product. As an open-source product, OpenSSH is popular, especially as SSH client software. However, its usage in critical corporate environments has been partly limited due to a lack of high-quality support services or support from a single source for all SSH clients. Without proper support services, customers often invest in in-house OpenSSH expertise, resulting in increased operating costs and challenges in maintaining required service levels. Customers can access the SSH support team with Service Level Agreements like Tectia. Tectia’s R&D team can perform code-level analysis and propose patches to OpenSSH mainline or platform administrators. Customers benefit from single source support both for Tectia and OpenSSH products from experienced SSH technical support. Additional SSH Professional Services are also available, as well as other products in the SSH Zero Trust Suite portfolio. Annuncio • May 18
