Management Comments

 

Commenting on the results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, Brian Haugli, President and Chief Executive Officer of SideChannel, said, “We made focused investments in selling and marketing this year and saw encouraging progress toward achieving multiple quarters of Enclave revenue growth. Fiscal year 2025 was a year of disciplined execution across both our services organization and our Enclave business. We continued our emphasis on increasing Enclave adoption by expanding awareness of how Enclave’s novel approach to microsegmentation and network security provides a significantly cost-effective alternative for mid-market and enterprise clients.”

 

Haugli continued, “With our expanding service portfolio, we are well-positioned to meet the needs of organizations seeking options beyond our core vCISO offering. As the economic uncertainty stabilizes and tailwinds emerge for cybersecurity risk management, such as the Pentagon’s rollout of CMMC standards, we are positioned for renewed growth in our services business line.

 

Our partner-led sales motion advanced during the year as more partners introduced Enclave to their clients, supporting our view that the platform’s capabilities address a broad set of zero-trust and microsegmentation needs. Enclave’s product roadmap, combined with the reach of our partner network and our established services foundation, supports our confidence in the opportunities ahead.”
