Going forward, updating the tech stack of Threat Hunter and putting it on Open Shift will enable Point Duty to offer the solution not just as an on-premise offering to a select few large organisations but to provide it as a SaaS offering - which opens up an entire new customer demographic.

For example there are c. 18,000 Law Enforcement Agencies in USA alone, ranging from 1 person Sheriff's offices to major city Police Departments with tens of thousands of personnel. Notwithstanding the relative size of the LEA, the job role is exactly the same. To date Threat Hunter has only been viable to a subset of the top 20 of this demographic, as a SaaS offering it opens up 10,000+ new and under-served prospects in this market alone
