So models make...

The step of finding vulnerabilities in code, far easier.

And quite frankly, it makes the next steps, exploit or defend, easier as well.

The economics of cyber defense were broken well before the latest AI models came out.

I saw that in the White House where my nightmare was the ransomware attacks against, you know, rural hospitals in America.

Well, there wasn't another hospital two blocks down.

So actual Americans' opportunity to access health care was disrupted by, in some cases, state-harbored criminal groups halfway around the world, right?

So infrastructure is very fragile.

And the reality is that the models help both.

I personally believe...

I'm focused on cybersecurity for a moment, that they help far more in defense because defense is far harder.

You have to be defending a broad expanse.

An attacker has to find one way in.

So as a result, I actually think we are in a difficult space at this moment because there's such a broad attack surface.

There's so many systems that are vulnerable.

But I think we will see the opportunity for a much more secure space.

To your point, you know, when I talk with governments around the world or companies around the world, all are grappling with that question of, I'll talk about the government side, given we know it can both help most countries have two missions, right?

Defending the country as well as defending it, you know, as well as maintaining its interest overseas.

Given both, how do we ensure that these powerful capabilities don't fall into our adversary's hands, don't fall into criminals' hands to be used for that purpose?

And I think, you know, in the traditional cyber tools arena, we always grappled with this, right?
