The following constitutes Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 4”). This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction .

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On February 18, 2022, following certain meetings between representatives of Outerbridge Capital (together with its affiliates, “Outerbridge”) and members of the Issuer’s management team and Board of Directors (the “Board”), Outerbridge Capital delivered a letter to the Board (the “Board Letter”) reiterating its belief in the Issuer’s potential and its support of the Issuer’s CEO and management team, but also noting certain concerns with worrisome actions taken by the Issuer recently, including its recent dilutive capital raise and the Board’s failure to deliver shareholder value over the course of the prior few years.

As stated in the Board Letter, Outerbridge has been a long-term and engaged shareholder of the Issuer, has been a strong advocate on the Company’s behalf, and has previously been encouraged by certain strategic actions taken by the Issuer. However, Outerbridge believes that the Issuer’s share price is dramatically undervalued, particularly given the Issuer’s leading market share in network-based security as a service (“SECaaS”) solutions, recent deal signings, strategic partnerships, and profitable core business in deep packet inspection (“DPI”) and network traffic management. Illustratively, and notwithstanding recent execution issues, Outerbridge believes the net present value of the Issuer’s SECaaS business is between $10 and $20 per share, while the net present value of the Issuer’s DPI business is between $10 and $15 per share, for a total sum of the parts valuation of between $20 and $35 per share, while the Issuer’s closing share price today was just $7.62. Outerbridge believes that this divergence between the current share price and the intrinsic value of the Issuer signals the market’s significant lack of confidence in the Board and requires immediate attention. To this end, Outerbridge has proposed the appointment of a shareholder representative to the Board to strengthen the Board’s public markets acumen and shareholder alignment and to ensure that appropriate process and consideration are followed on important matters affecting all shareholders.

Outerbridge intends to continue to work constructively with the Issuer to enhance value for all of its shareholders.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer .

Item 5(c) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(c) The transactions in the securities of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons since the filing of Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D are set forth on Schedule B and incorporated herein by reference.

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owners of any securities of the Issuer that he or it does not directly own. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein that he or it does not directly own.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer .

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

Outerbridge Capital, on behalf of the Accounts, purchased certain American-style call options referencing an aggregate of 200,000 Ordinary Shares, which had a strike price of $10.00 per Ordinary Share and expired on February 18, 2022. These call options expired worthless pursuant to their terms. Accordingly Outerbridge Capital and the Accounts no longer have any exposure to such options.
