followed up 2 days later by a £6K trade
most days this is not traded.
At least someone paid 30p for 40,000 shares today.
Hopefully its an insider acting on information that this is worth more!
No-one else traded any though.
Every little helps as they say!
Re GCHQ they have to approve contractors and the entry hurdles are high. Not saying it will not happen but there are barriers to entry.
these guys have good contacts etc, a larger contract soon for GCHQ who knows?
Sympathies Pedro, the market seems underwhelmed by the news. I am willing to hold for a few more months in the hope of a sig deal and sp spike.
its a UK maritime thing not all cruise ships.
someone bought 1K worth of shares today, im waiting for a rise so i can sell out of this cmon buyers where are you?
Big News imo. How many cruise ships at sea today and what is there annual turnover in onboard sales etc?
Assets worth protecting from embarrassing hacks?
CCS might be better off it developed some Ransomware of its own

Deep, beyond me technically but thanks for posting.
he law gets serious on ransomware
Ransomware may be nothing new itself, but how companies deal with it could start to be under much closer scrutiny in 2022, particularly as the US senate reviews the Ransomware Disclosure Act.
It will require those that receive, and then pay a ransom demand, to provide detailed information about the payment, something they have been able to keep private to date.
This is a trend we can expect to follow in regulatory jurisdictions around the world, and will place companies under even greater pressure to ensure their security provisions are as strong as they can be and employees well trained to avoid phishing attacks and other behaviours that can open a door to ransomware.
Zero-Trust security
Trust and confidence in Zero-Trust security architectures will really accelerate in 2022. New approaches to identity and access management (IAM) that embrace the Verifiable Credentials W3C standard and Self-Sovereign Identities (SSIs) will be better understood as a way to implement zero-trust, with the first products that bring together SSI and OpenID Connect SIOPV2 appearing in the market.
The reliance on blockchains for SSI will increasingly disappear as more organisations realise they are not an essential component.
An injection in the arm for VR and the metaverse
2022 will of course see excitement around the metaverse – does anyone talk about anything else in Silicon Valley right now? Its underlying core technologies (VR/AR) will thrive as tech companies start to scrabble for their position in the conversation and emerging market – this will be largely thanks to the announcements from Meta and Fortnite in 2021.
As a result, we will also see more real-world adoption in VR use cases such as architects, construction, 3D modelling and other industrial applications.
VR will also fuel interest in alternative human-computer interfaces. Initially in body-computer but potentially advances from organisations such as Neuralink, 2022 could put computer-brain interfaces in the spotlight again, with greater discussion on data privacy and ownership expected.
Data privacy
Analysts predict that by the end of 2023, modern privacy laws will cover the personal information of 75% of the world’s population. There is a wide breadth of legislation that covers this data, of which GDPR was the first, but we will see the inconsistencies on data privacy legislation grow as it becomes more refined.
Areas such as using behavioural analysis for the purpose of detecting human risk factors such as ‘insider threats’, will become more tightly controlled with polar approaches existing even in different states. This will further exacerbate the challenges of managing data privacy and security within organisations.
A year to watch
It’s impossible to cover all the technological and regulatory advances we can expect to see in 2022, but we know the cyber security challenges each business will face will be as big as ever.

Still with cybersecurity, and Intercede Group (AIM:IGP) has won a competitive bid to supply a new customer, an independent US Federal Agency.
The contract involves the company supplying its credential management software to mobile devices, allowing protection of sensitive data and secure access to agency systems.
The initial order is for 20,000 devices and associated support and maintenance totalling US$0.5m, most of which will be recognised as revenue in the current financial year. The company said there is the potential to roll out to substantially more devices over time.

The stock market took a total beating with Tech stocks bearing the brunt.
NOT CCS though it was unmoved despite the single trade off 7 shares hitting the market LOL

1 trade today a £541 buy at 35.4p
Lesson learned for me is watch a stock before and don't buy tiddlers
