| Hello Zachary: Happy 2016! As always, the first thing I want to do is say thank you to our awesome customers without whom DomainTools would not exist. We deeply appreciate our longtime customers who renewed with us in 2015 as well as the hundreds of new customers who signed up with DomainTools this past year. We hope to always exceed your expectations, both with our products and with our responsiveness. And we wish you every success in the new year. If you ever visit Seattle, please come by our office so I can introduce you to our smart, hard-working, dedicated and growing team of DomainTools professionals. In 2015 we continued to invest in sourcing and provisioning the industry's best domain and DNS data into our products. Additionally, we made strides in the IP Address whois data space, moved up the URL into the hostname data space, and built industrial strength systems to collect other DNS data types. All of this will be built into Iris, our revolutionary new platform for doing threat intelligence investigations. Finally, we released into beta an inaugural version of a domain scoring engine that can help predict badness and also enable intelligence analysts and incident response professionals to most effectively prioritize IOCs. This past month we were pleased to team up with SANS Institute to discuss practical applications of DNS threat intelligence data in a webinar with Robert M. Lee. Although February is a short month, we will be busy attending SANS CTI in Washington DC, as well as M3AAWG and RSA in San Francisco. We enter 2016 thrilled with the growth in our data, product, customers, and team, but ever-motivated to continue to deliver value and service to our customers.
