 could fail to attain sufficient market acceptance for many reasons, including:

•delays in releasing new products or product enhancements;

38

•failure to accurately predict market demand and to supply products that meet this demand in a timely fashion;

•inability to protect against new types of attacks or techniques used by terrorists or other threat sources;

•defects in our products, errors or failures of our products;

•negative publicity or perceptions about the performance or effectiveness of our products;

•introduction or anticipated introduction of competing products by our competitors;

•installation, configuration, sensitivity setting, or usage errors by our customers; and

•easing or changing of regulatory requirements at the federal, state, and/or local levels related to security or other aspects of our business.

If we fail to anticipate market requirements or fail to develop and introduce product enhancements or new products to meet those needs in a timely manner, it could cause us to lose existing customers and prevent us from gaining new customers, which would significantly harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

While we continue to invest significant resources in research and development to enable our products to continue to address the security risks that our customers face, the introduction of products embodying new technologies could also render our existing products or services obsolete or less attractive to customers. If we spend significant time and effort on research and development and are unable to generate an adequate return on our investment, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We incorporate technology and components from third parties into our products, and our inability to obtain or maintain rights to the technology could harm our business.

We have incorporated, and may in the future incorporate, technology and components from third parties into our products. We cannot be certain that our suppliers and licensors are not infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties or that the suppliers and licensors have sufficient rights to the technology in all jurisdictions in which it may sell our products. We may not be able to rely on indemnification obligations of third parties, to the extent they offer them. If  our implementation or ongoing use of such technology is limited because of intellectual property infringement claims brought by third parties against our suppliers or licensors or against us, or if we are unable to continue to obtain such technology or enter into new agreements therefor on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to develop and sell products, subscriptions, and services containing such technology could be severely limited, and our business could be harmed. Disputes with suppliers and licensors could result in the payment of additional royalties or penalties by us,
