You were curious about computers when we barely knew what it is. So why?

Wow. So something sparked that interest very, very early on. And in the military, you got into a very elite unit. Those who know, it's called 8200. It's in the Israeli Defense Force. And it is more around intelligence, etc., What did that early experience did for you, Gil? I know I always talk about how we've had more responsibility at age 18, 20 than I had many, many years later.

So it's incredible, inspiring, but I think also the military lets you dive into areas that maybe on the day-to-day you usually don't dive in. Where did that hit you in terms of cyber? What did you learn there that you took later on?

It is a pretty big one. And I want to go into that. So you don't really deal with cyber yet. That's true. Although I think intelligence overall teaches you how to solve problems in a certain way. And I think that's also in the military. Like you say, you take 19-year-olds, 20-year-olds, and they need to solve problems. You know, you don't train for four years to learn it. You just figure it out.
