CSO, a prominent news portal with a focus on cybersecurity, has featured the impending acquisition of WHEN Group (OTC Pink: WHEN) by Cuentas. This transaction is noteworthy for the financial dynamics involved as it sets CUEN $10 per share value, placing WHEN Group's market capitalization at an impressive $150 million as of its last trading day.

The contemporary landscape of heightened cyber threats has propelled Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) into the limelight, and Cuentas' innovative solutions empower them to provide enhanced cybersecurity, fortifying digital ecosystems with confidence and efficiency. In response to the surging frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks, organizations worldwide are acknowledging the urgent need to bolster their defenses, with a remarkable 65% of forward-thinking enterprises committing to increased cybersecurity investments in 2023.

WHEN Group's advanced threat screening technology, leveraging pattern recognition and AI, reinforces Cuentas' commitment to innovative solutions. This technology is designed to defend critical communications and financial infrastructure against attacks and compromise, aligning with the growing demand for robust security measures.

Gartner's latest forecast predicts a 14% year-over-year increase in global spending on security and risk management, reaching $215 billion in the coming year. Organizations are allocating an increasing share of their technology budgets to cybersecurity, with 8% dedicated to it in 2023 compared to 5% in 2019. This emphasizes the critical need for organizations to enhance their cybersecurity programs amid escalating cyber risks in a dynamic operating environment.

Cuentas anticipates completing the transaction through a share exchange, subject to Nasdaq and shareholder approval and other specified conditions, with WHEN Group becoming a majority-owned subsidiary of Cuentas.

Mr. Arik Maimon, CEO of Cuentas, expressed his excitement about the recognition by CSO magazine: "I'm thrilled to announce that Cuentas, Inc. has secured a spot in CSO magazine's top cybersecurity M&A deals for 2023.
