Management Comment
Erez Antebi, President & CEO of Allot, commented: "While our first quarter results met our expectations, during the last few months, we faced headwinds as a result of delays in SECaaS service launches, the war in Europe and negative foreign exchange rates fluctuation. As a result, we have adjusted our forecast for the year to reflect a delay in adoption. Looking at the number of CSPs interested in SECaaS services and the growing need for such a protection, we plan to continue our investments and remain confident in our strategic direction and our long-term success."
