And one of the things that we uncovered after this first contact was that we will never know whether that was a software bug that allowed somebody to get into all of the inverters made by the same manufacturer.
or if that was a carefully hidden ban door that could be accessed by a rival nation state to cause a blackout to a city, country, or to a territory.
Germany is an European state that's started to take
cybersecurity in this inverter space very carefully because they realized that whatever happens in this very particular IoT sphere could bring grids down.
What happened in Spain this year was a wake-up call.
That's grid falling, not because of a cybersecurity incident, but because solar played a bad role here.
All I wanted to say is that grids are very powerful beasts and they used to be isolated from the Internet.
And now everybody has a piece of the grid in their home that's connected to the Internet.
That's a million entry points to something that pertains to national security.
Well, this will continue to be a cat and mouse game where the bad guys are advancing, the good guys will be catching up with their tactics and best case scenario, they will find a way to proactively protect against their attacks, right?
We've done that for the past decades with malware and we're going to do that
with DeepFace and with the rest of the scams as well.
So there's hope.
The fact that we're still using technology and most of our interactions online are safe gives us hope.
We're here to protect.
We have the technologies, the solutions, and we're not just waiting for the bad guys to win the game, right?
We have very powerful partners from other security vendors to law enforcement.
And that's also one thing that I wanted to tell you about.
The fact that we're very successful in this cooperation with law enforcement.
We have a lot of cases that we opened together with law enforcement.
