Enterprises, big or small, are increasingly concerned about attacks on the cyber community. As Gartner, an information technology research organization, explains, cyber risks and threats refer to both internal and external exposure in its operation across interconnected digital environment that may impact the goals and values of an organization. Cyber risk exposures were once generally associated with core IT systems, but have now extended to include the risks introduced by external entities or devices. To prevent such cyber risks, protect customers from attacks and carry out post-mortem investigation, we are working with potential partners and evaluating new technology to develop comprehensive solutions for our customers. We plan to test the market initially with existing products from our potential partners and depending on the market response, will devise a comprehensive strategy as appropriate. To summarize, we are reasonably confident about a slightly better year for 2022 in terms of the performance of our IDM business and a clearer roadmap for our longer term development of the business in this segment.
