Cybersecurity
Innovator SideChannel Gains Wall Street Attention
WORCESTER,
MA / ACCESSWIRE / January 9, 2024 / SideChannel, Inc. (OTCQB:SDCH) (“SideChannel”), a leading provider of cybersecurity
services and technology to emerging and middle market companies, today announced that Trickle Research has initiated research coverage
of SideChannel with a 12-24 month price target of $0.18.
According
to Trickle Research, “SideChannel is addressing the underserved mid-market segment of the cybersecurity industry, which we believe
represents an opportunity for outsized growth. SideChannel’s unique ‘easy button’ approach to cybersecurity could gain
significant traction among mid-market companies that often lack resources and expertise to combat today’s sophisticated cyber threats.”
SideChannel’s
mission is to make enterprise-class cybersecurity accessible for mid-market and emerging companies. SideChannel offers a range of managed
security services, security operations center solutions, and easy-to-deploy security technologies, such as Enclave, that provide customers
with a simplified approach to cybersecurity.
Brian
Haugli, CEO, said, “We are thrilled to gain the attention and support of Trickle Research. Their analysis validates our view that
mid-market companies are underserved, and SideChannel is well positioned to capture this opportunity with our innovative, easy-to-use
cybersecurity solutions and highly attentive customer service model.
According
to Trickle Research, the global cybersecurity market is between $150 billion and $200 billion, with the fastest growth coming from managed
security services and security operations centers. “SideChannel is targeting a niche within cybersecurity that should afford an
opportunity for above average growth over the coming years. With a subscription-based business model and a focus on high-touch customer
service, SideChannel also exhibits a highly scalable platform with a visible path to profitability, in our view,” the report said.

Forward-Looking
Statements
This
press release may contain forward-looking statements, including information about management’s view of SideChannel’s future
expectations, plans and prospects, subject to the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the
“Act”). In particular, when used in the preceding discussion, the words “believes”, “hopes”, “expects”,
“intends”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “potential”, “could”, “should”
or “may”, and similar conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Act and are subject to the safe harbor created by the Act and otherwise. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among
others, statements relating to future sales, earnings, cash flows, results of operations, uses of cash and other measures of financial
performance.
Because
forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause SDCH’s
actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These
risk factors include, but are not limited to: that we have incurred net losses since inception, our need for additional funding, the
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and the terms of any future funding we raise; our dependence on current
management and our ability to attract and retain qualified employees; competition for our products; our ability to develop and successfully
introduce new products, improve current products and innovate; unpredictability in our operating results; our ability to retain existing
licensees and add new licensees; our ability to manage our growth; our ability to protect our intellectual property (IP), enforce our
IP rights and defend against claims that we infringed on the IP of others; the risk associated with the concentration of our cash in
one financial institution at levels above the amount protected by FDIC insurance; and other risk factors included from time to time in
documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, our Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. These reports
are available at www.sec.gov.
Other
unknown or unpredictable factors also could have material adverse effects that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected or represented in the forward-looking statements. Further, factors that we do not presently deem material as of the date of
this release may become material in the future. The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made only as of the
date hereof. SideChannel cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Accordingly, you should not
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Finally, SideChannel undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking
statements after the date of this release, except as required by law, nor any obligation to update or correct information prepared by
third parties.
