Reports Q1 revenue $12M vs. $15.7M last year. "We had an encouraging start to the year and the progress we made across our businesses during the quarter positions us favorably for the next three quarters," commented Victor Dellovo, CEO. "While our services revenue grew 14.6% over the same prior year period, our product revenue comparison was impacted by several large, one-time orders during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. At the beginning of this fiscal year, we devoted more resources to further drive our services revenue performance and these investments are already contributing to growth. Our service revenue generates significantly higher gross margin than our product revenue and the first quarter growth led to our overall significant gross margin increase. Our managed services practice performed well and the number of customers we added in the fiscal first quarter was among the highest in terms of net new engagements to kick-off the year, raising our full year optimism for the overall TS business. We are also generating positive developments within the AZT PROTECT offering as we added several new initial site customers during the fiscal first quarter. While the revenue contribution from these initial deployments is small, it aligns with our overall strategy to get a foot in the door to prove ourselves and drive revenue. This initiative has begun to bear fruit as we increased orders from existing customers and we now have several enterprises deploying AZT PROTECT at more than one location. We are focused on driving expansion of AZT PROTECT deployment through our distribution partners and further deepen our customer engagements as we move through the year, ensuring that our best-of-class AZT PROTECT is protecting the most sensitive infrastructures, including power and water. We believe the solution remains unmatched in its effectiveness to stop otherwise unprotected attacks on critical operating systems throughout the world."

ARIA Cybersecurity and Acronis addressed the Operational Technology industry's greatest current challenge - the forced migration of up to millions of industrial automation endpoints running on Windows 10 to Windows 11 with no return on that investment. The two companies, in a live online event, discussed the challenges the OT industry faces when operating systems like Windows 10 hit the end of support. Forced migration requires: a large operational effort that includes: Retesting every application's performance and functionality. Upgrading hardware that cannot accommodate the Windows 11 performance tax. The potential disruption to production to phase in the upgrade. The increased risk to production and safety of moving off a long-term stable system. ARIA demonstrated the AZT solution which Acronis resells alongside its industry leading Cyber Protect back-up system. Demonstrating how AZT's patented approach can protect against vulnerability exploit attacks that up till now the industry could only rely on vendor patches to stop. Thereby extending the life of Windows 10 systems. ARIA and Acronis discussed customers who reported saving $25,000 per device or more deploying AZT rather than upgrading to Windows 11 based endpoints. An immediate ROI of up to 100 to 1.
