Out of the 5 customers, one of them is a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP). To be exact, this MSSP is focused on Managed Detection \u0026amp; Response (MDR) services to enterprises. This MSSP/MDR uses TruKno to understand the emerging/new threats in real time and then generate threat detection rules for their SIEM (Splunk, Elastic, etc.) or their EDR (Crowdsrite, SentinelOnet, etc.). Other 4 customers are large size enterprise in Finance, Commercial Real-Estate and Software/IT industries. Biggest differentiation for our solution is anchored on three things: 1) Insights into Adversary (Hacker) Attack Sequences in real time i.e. all the steps a hacker is taking within the network to bypass enterprise security controls down to a command level 2) Context about how hackers are using old attack techniques in completely new ways 3) Net new attack techniques that are getting used in the latest breaches that are not even in the industry standard (MITRE). These three capabilities are truly unique to what TruKno and is allowing us to win large size enterprises even as a startup company. I hope this help.
