However, we have taken steps to reduce this cyclicality and the results of the same are visible from our current performance. The Enterprise and Government segment remained flattish on account of lower than expected growth from Government business. However, ‘Seqrite’ continues to be our flagship offering for the enterprise customers.

The digitization push and the data protection regulations across the globe, is making individuals and businesses realize the importance of security of their systems.”
