And so it may be more efficient, but your dollar spent, the amount you're running in the cloud is always going up.

No.

I mean, we try not to use FUD and try to do it really based on value.

But think about it now.

I put my data in the cloud.

What's the perimeter?

It used to be your perimeter in the data center.

You knew.

You had firewalls along it.

you had routers, you knew exactly where all your data was.

Now you put it in the cloud, it's a very different challenge.

Your perimeter is really this software-defined network.

And so when you want to verify, is there a hole in my perimeter somewhere, it's by looking at all this metadata and analyzing, you know, what ports do I have open to what

resources in my network.

So it's actually interesting because it's a totally different science, but you can really be very accurate and you could be much more secure in the cloud because you can scan millions of ports and IPs and know exactly what's coming in and not.

It used to be you'd

you'd put a scanner out there that was trying to ping ports and IPs to see if they were open.

Very inaccurate way of assessing your perimeter.

In the cloud, much more discreet where you can really map what's open and what's not.

No.
