We are going through our designated time and similarly the cybersecurity landscape is changing quite fast, every day. From a perspective of customer, we have commissioned an independent survey with IT managers across 26 countries across six continents. Almost 51% of the customers agreed that they were coming by ransomware last year and it is definitely expected this numbers to grow in the coming years. This pandemic has been an average cause for a ransomware attack where the customer data is getting compromised. Data is getting increased; they are paying ransom to the cyber criminals to get their data back. Cloud adoption is increasing significantly so as the attacks, almost 71% of customers agree that they suffered an incident on their cloud instances, so that is also alarming. We have launched a new partner program for the partners, which we call it as a so forth MSP program, the Managed Service Partner program.
