RPM Global software is used right across the life cycle of mining operations. Everywhere from the geographical surveys that are done through to simulation, planning and the operational running of a mine, you'll find RPM software involved. So data security for us is our highest priority as an organisation. Cyber risks have been highlighted by the board as our number one priority. Not only securing the data from breaches, but also the ability to recover quickly if a breach were to happen. There are two main components to downtime that affect us. First and foremost is the interruption to our customers' operations and our customers' business. Being a software company, we provide software that is integral to the operation of some of the world's leading miners. And they rely on us for not only providing that software, but providing support and ongoing maintenance of that software. So while disruption is a major concern, the absolute worst case scenario for us is data exfiltration. That's no longer a concern. Having used the product now for a number of months and tested it in various scenarios, we're very happy and very confident in Rubrik's ability to not only maintain data integrity, but also recover very quickly and make that recovery very easy. Rubrik has helped our peace of mind enormously. So the data within the Office 365 tools is integral to our business workflows to do what we do as a core business. Without them, we wouldn't be able to function. So Rubrik has helped us greatly with Office 365 protection, from not only backing up effectively and efficiently and with adequate capacity, but also in the recovery of SharePoint sites and files used by our advisory team. They're billable per hour. We need to be able to get that data back very, very quickly. One of the executives had said to us that it's already paid for itself in a month. Building on the successes of our Office 365 implementation, we purchased the Enterprise Edition of Rubrik, which gave us Edge, it gave us Cloud, it gave us a more structured and more effective environment across our entire 17 sites. Rubrik's platform helps us to prepare for cyber attacks in many ways. One of the most crucial ways for us is a dashboard that we found both effective and very useful. There are three phases to our cyber security strategy. Prevention and education, detection and response, and recovering and learning from an incident. Rubrik has really helped in our response and recovery phase. We didn't have confidence in the legacy tools that we had to recover and back up our data. Now we do.
