CISO Global (NasdaqCM: CISO) may be the best bargain around for investors wanting exposure to the booming cybersecurity sector. In fact, at roughly $0.20 a share and a market cap of just $32.19 million on Tuesday, taking advantage of the valuation disconnect would be best taken sooner rather than later. That bullish appraisal is warranted. Consider this: In June of 2022, CISO had a market cap of over $448 million, and ironic to that number, CISO is appreciably better positioned, has more assets, and is leveraging significantly more revenue-generating firepower than then.
The more excellent news is that CISO is on the offensive to prove its current market cap is just a fraction of what is appropriate. They provided supporting evidence on Tuesday, unveiling Argo Edge, a powerful tool stack that CISO has been developing and testing for the past two years in enterprise environments, including government and privately held entities. Leveraging differences that are advantages, Argo Edge combines the most sought-after security technologies with its proprietary IP and threat feeds, providing a pre-built and easy-to-implement comprehensive solution.
While it may prove to be best-in-class cybersecurity technology for clients, here’s the better news: an independent appraisal values Argo Edge at $49 million, an amount that eclipses CISO’s entire market cap by over $17 million. That part should be an excellent motivator for investors to consider seizing the ground-floor opportunity.
Argo Edge Differences Are Advantages
And that’s just one asset. CISO has completed 16 acquisitions, each having a significant value that is being almost entirely ignored inside a $0.20 share price. But that may soon change. CISO is proving, through independent appraisal, that its assets are more than valuable; they include differences that are advantages over currently marketed cybersecurity products. The value inherent to Argo Edge comes through a unique approach of layering together pre-configured, pre-integrated technologies, including cloud firewall as a service (FaaS), secure internet gateway, secure authentication, secure service edge (SSE), and containerized internet browser sessions for each user. It does more.
Argo Edge provides Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and Data Loss Protection (DLP) capabilities across an organization’s cloud applications and environment, which combine to improve the entire network performance. The benefits don’t end there. Argo Edge utilizes a built-in AI component that further hardens networks by learning from each blocked attack and applying this new knowledge to unaffected environments as a forward-thinking, protective functionality. In other words, it’s not a patchwork defense like competitors sell; it’s a comprehensive solution product that provides continuous protection against mutating attacks by closing loopholes exposed by constant learning.
That difference and ability are helping solidify CISO Global as a growing leader in the cybersecurity industry. It indeed levels the playing field with industry behemoths like Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO), Palo Alto (NASDAQ: PANW), and Check Point Software (NASDAQ: CHKP). Moreover, it expedites the company’s delivery of its mission to accelerate its clients’ journey to cyber resilience. In addition to providing a formidable defense, intrinsic and inherent value comes from the fact that unlike most marketed security platforms that add complexity and increase the need for additional staff to manage them, Argo Edge leverages automation and pre-configures highly complex security processes.
Easy To Integrate And Secure By Design
That’s not all attracting client interest. A significant factor in its earning a $49 million valuation is that Argo Edge is secure by design at the start. From box to service, its capabilities include secure user authentication, secure service edge, powerful web filtering, and containerized sessions for all internal users to protect corporate assets from direct access. It also protects against attack from other internet-facing activity, leveraging its design that addresses widespread struggles of enterprises to achieve true resiliency across modern, distributed networks.
That includes those inherent to vendor sprawl, tool overload, remote and hybrid workforces, and cybersecurity expertise gaps. Those challenges have led to the typical scenario of companies remaining highly vulnerable to attack despite hefty investments in tools and teams. Recognizing that gap, CISO created Argo Edge to harden a defense by aggregating and potentially replacing numerous tools, enabling internal teams to manage technologies while reducing the daily time and specialized skillsets required. It’s a potential game-changer to cybersecurity because it allows security teams lacking specialized cybersecurity training to manage its highly potent technologies.
That’s an enormous benefit to CISO clients. Estimates indicate an ongoing 3.4 million global cybersecurity practitioner shortfall, meaning that the over 75 security tools currently being used to manage an effective defense can’t provide results as intended. Instead, most companies struggle to achieve air-tight configuration, integration, and management of existing platforms. CISO Global is changing that dynamic with products that can replace the one-size-fits-all approach to cybersecurity sold by competing vendors. Argo Edge is just one of them.
All of CISO’s products provide value to clients from their ability to address and mitigate the daily struggles of managing cybersecurity assets. Moreover, they simplify the entire process and offer considerable technological support. Argo Edge’s data visualizations will be delivered through Argo Security Management. This umbrella platform aggregates and visualizes critical security data across client environments.
Seizing A Valuation Disconnect
Notably, innovative technology that’s simple to use and integrate is inherent to all of CISO’s products, a feature expected to fuel CISO’s penetration into this multi-billion dollar sector. Remember, businesses of all sizes need what CISO sells. And that reality positions them to accelerate revenue growth into the back half of this year and provide momentum into the new one. Furthermore, expect CISO to keep talking.
More likely than not, the company will continue to prove that higher valuations are justified through additional independent analysis showing its products are best in class and, importantly, from an investor’s perspective, are valuable. Thus, CISO Global may not stay under investors’ radar much longer. Proving its value, increasing revenues, and deal-making momentum will attract attention. More importantly, when investors value the sum of its parts, current share prices may be a springboard board, not a platform. More simply, consider seizing the opportunity while it lasts.
