Atakama is quite flexible in terms of the number of devices across which cryptographic keys can be split. Two examples: (1) a computer, a phone and a table, of which any two can be used to reassemble the cryptographic key (i.e. a two-of-three configuration), (2) a computer, three phones and two tablets, of which any three can be used to reassemble the cryptographic key (i.e. a three-of-six configuration) The flexibility of the system enables it to be configured with redundancies to accommodate circumstances in which devices are offline, lost or damaged. Our customers have been pleased with our flexibility and, as a consequence of it, we haven't had any material problems related to offline or broken devices. Regards, Dan","author_name":"Daniel H.

The \"secret sauce\", so to speak, isn't the encryption per se, but rather the way we manage the keys, keeping the shards of the keys completely separate from preexisting identity and access management systems. The use of multiple devices facilitates our distributed key management infrastructure. Consequently, while one could say that we have several competitors from the traditional encryption space, our product is quite differentiated from the current landscape of products, and we have good intellectual property protecting our system.

We view the best way to reduce burn is to grow revenue while holding expenses steady, and that is precisely what we've done over the past several months. Since the end of 2021, our revenue has increased materially while expenses have largely stayed the same. For example, during July 2022 we recognized approximately $99,785 of revenue (GAAP revenue), had $1,180,855 of annual recurring revenue (often called ARR) and total contract value (often called TCV) of $1,931,158. These metrics grew 567%, 406% and 273%, respectively, relative to December 2021. Meanwhile, expenses averaged $444,073 per month during the last six months of 2021 and increased to an average of $503,487 during the first six months of 2022, growth of just 13%. We expect revenue to increase materially over the next 6 months, with ARR in excess of $2 million by the middle of 2023. We expect expenses to increase modestly over the next 6 months, at a similar pace to the previous 6 months (i.e. mid-teens percent). Regards, Dan","author_name":"Daniel H.

We looked at five sectors: professional services, financial services, manufacturing + industrial + pharma, education and media. The total number of knowledge workers in those sectors is about 237.6 million (professional services = 126 million, financial services = 66 million, manufacturing + industrial + pharma = 27 million, education = 15 million and media = 3.6 million). We used a spend of $75 per seat per year (of course, spend can vary, but $75 per seat per year is not far from our current contracts). Multiply $75 by 237.6 million and you get a total addressable market of approximately $18 billion. Regards, Dan","author_name":"Daniel H.

In the posted overview video, it shows that you select which devices you would like to have approve the access request. If someone were to attempt to open the file, and hit cancel once it shows that the file is protected by KDM/MFA, my assumption is that I wouldn't know that there was an attempt to access the file.
