S247 is a multi-award-winning AI-based cybersecurity organisation. The Group is led by a highly experienced Board and management team, with its head office located in Cork, Republic of Ireland, and operations in London, Belfast, Krakow and Bucharest, and a client base that operates in Europe and the USA.

Founded by Ronan Murphy in 2011, S247 aims to provide security solutions to a growing list of blue-chip clients (B2B) utilising an automated Managed Detection and Response ("MDR") Platform. The Group's services target proactive prevention for clients and utilise the latest methodology in cloud, big data analytics and machine learning, as well as incident response teams, to protect enterprises as they migrate to cloud-based IT operations.

The Directors believe that S247 has a growing reputation as a trusted provider of innovative cybersecurity solutions to international companies. S247's business model has resulted in it being awarded a number of significant contracts with key customers in the past year. As a result of its established and recently-released AI products, research and development and client deployment, the Group is well placed to develop Automated MDR and to entrench and further expand its position in the market, capitalising on its experience and achievements to date.

 

The Board is seeking for the Company's issued and to be issued share capital to be admitted to trading on AIM to continue the development of the Smarttech247's proprietary technology, grow its international presence and support its expansion into new products. The Board intends to achieve this through a combination of continued organic growth and, if appropriate, through complementary acquisitions.
