And of course, thinking further and further about the science behind all this and the research behind all this will eventually get you to the right solution.

Because I don't think that there is any problem out there that is

completely unsolvable.

Problems are going to be very difficult and you will make mistakes along the way in trying to solve those problems.

But that is all part of the learning process, Noah.

I don't think there's anybody who can claim to have developed a perfect solution the first time around.

Our work at GlassWall as a cybersecurity company, as a company who is heavily focused on firewall security and ensuring the safety of our customers is obviously going to be underpinned by the evolving threat landscape, which is predominantly these days about AI and the threats posed by AI and the agentic ways of working, so to speak.

So that means developing capability in this kind of new era, whether it is dealing with AI-based threats, whether it is dealing with new types of malware or new customer concerns around AI, but in equally ensuring that the capabilities that we have developed to date

remain as effective as they have ever been, because cybersecurity in general is a field where it is extremely critical to keep up to date and it is extremely high stakes and you can't afford to make mistakes.

So what I would say is that the world of AI, the world of cybersecurity, these are probably two of the hottest places to be as a company.

And we are in both.

And in fact, we're at the intersection with Glassful Foresight with content disarmament reconstruction.

stay tuned i would say there are certainly some very interesting developments coming out one of them of course like i say foresight which we have actually launched today so that is extremely exciting and i'm looking forward to seeing that ending up in the customer's hands and understanding where customers want us to look further at in terms of any kind of ai capabilities going forward

I think I generally look to the security and AI community in general in terms of the evolution that has happened over the last 20, 30 years and the influence that has had on me as a person and the

impact that has had on my ability to gain knowledge, to disseminate knowledge, and then equally to make this as applicable as possible.

So that is the answer in terms of industry knowledge and academic knowledge, so to speak.

But

Generally speaking, I've had some really great role models growing up.

My parents, my father who pushed me towards pursuing a PhD in the space of computer science.

And that was, of course, a great influence for me growing up.
