Recent Business Highlights:

    --  In August Cyren signed its largest enterprise deal to date - a
        multi-year, multi-million dollar contract to provide managed email
        security to a multi-national industrial conglomerate with over 80,000
        employees. Cyren's CCS platform was chosen in a competitive bake-off RFP
        process over other leading email security vendors.
    --  In September, Cyren launched its GoCloud Partner Program, which is the
        company's new global channel program that provides resellers, managed
        service providers, and distributors with the opportunity to predictably
        grow recurring revenue streams through 100% cloud security products. The
        company also announced the program's first major distributor, Arrow
        Electronics, will partner to enable resellers to sell Cyren cloud
        security products throughout the US and Canada.
    --  During the third quarter, Cyren added over 60 new enterprise customers
        onto its CCS email and web security platform. Average new order size and
        annual contract value for new customers grew over 190% compared to the
        third quarter of 2017.
    --  Since the beginning of the third quarter, Cyren renewed and expanded
        four of its top ten Threat Intelligence Services contracts for
        extensions ranging up to three years. These companies have been
        customers of Cyren for an average of 12 years, and together represent
        annual contract value of over $6.6 million.

In September Cyren filed a shelf registration statement on Form F-3. Cyren intends to continue to make investments to support its business growth and will likely require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features to enhance our services and products and improve our operating infrastructure. Accordingly, Cyren may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. The registration statement is intended to give Cyren additional flexibility to access the capital markets on a timely and cost effective basis and enables the company to raise up to $50 million in equity or debt over the next three years.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude: stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and deferred taxes related to acquisitions, one-time gain from sale of investment in affiliate, adjustments to earn-out obligations, capitalization of technology, accretion of discount on convertible note and change in fair value of the embedded conversion feature. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of the company's performance exclusive of non-cash charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside of the company's core operating results. The company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Company management regularly uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the business and make operating decisions.

These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. The company believes this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of the business. The company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide consistent and comparable measures to help investors understand the company's current and future operating cash flow performance. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Income. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when evaluating the business internally and therefore felt it important to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors.

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including projections about the company's business, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For example, statements in the future tense, and statements including words such as "expect," "plan," "estimate," "anticipate," or "believe" are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on information available at the time of the press release and the company assumes no obligation to update any of them. The statements in this press release are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from current expectations as a result of numerous factors, including business conditions and growth or deterioration in the internet security market, technological developments, products offered by competitors, availability of qualified staff, and technological difficulties and resource constraints encountered in developing new products, as well as those risks described in the company's Annual Reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K, which are available through www.sec.gov.
