But the small little changes, the small adoption, adoptions of different behaviors, because to me, it's people in process always. Tech isn't going to break itself. It's people that do all that nonsense. And I think people get confused that because of AI and all kinds of other spinny things around that, they think that machines are causing the problem. No, it's people. It's legitimately people
the problems and i this is where i say social engineering is really the state of cyber security at all times we are constantly trying to figure out how someone could do something why would they do it how would they get their financial motivation to do this or just be disruptive in general i often think that adversaries are like angry teenagers like just chaos Just chaos. And that's how I see it.
And it helps because it's like if you've ever been to like a punk like gig or a punk concert or like a rock concert or a metal concert, it's like pure chaos at times. The pit's going. Everybody's freaking out. That's how I see an attack happening. Like everybody's just freaking out. It's like the attackers, the people are being attacked. It's just this chaos. Right.
But somehow there's sort of order to it. You just have to kind of work through that moment and like, OK, this is what we're going to do now. We're going to clear this the stage. We're going to get the person out who got crushed in the pit. You know, like, and that's how it kind of would have to go. And the fact that, again, we are constantly looking at this global food supply, all this stuff.
We really just need to focus on the company, all the suppliers around it, and the employees. That's it. Like, it's all you need to think about. And then don't add new tech without considering cyber. But that drives me up a wall. Like, you said technology. Cyber should just be right there with it, like, as a friend. It's like salt and pepper. We don't say pepper by itself. We say salt and pepper.
You have to say tech and cyber together. And that would be a magical moment for a company if they could do that consistently.
It's true. And I think what we need is to nurture and foster more of, and I'm going to use the term, it's probably not the right term, the disruptors inside of organizations where they're not the The ones who don't sit in the silos, the ones who can go across the silos, right? And they can be able to move freely. I'm going to go on a limb and say, that's you and I, George.
We're very much those people who can move across silos without issue. And I will say that I've always been labeled as a problem because I could flow in different spaces and I definitely could- Stick to your lane. Yeah. I got stuck to your lane. Stop being so Northeast. You're too aggressive.
I've gotten all the things, but I think some of that was probably because I'm a woman as well. But that's a whole other show, too. But I will say that the food industry is they want us to be there. They want help. They recognize the problem. They're big on forecasting. So they do try to plan for three to five years at all times.
And I think that that is an opportunity for us to come in and be partners with them and help. hopefully lean a little bit more on breaking cultural norms and inside of business and becoming just what we are as human beings. We're just trying to survive, you know, have kids, have our kids be healthy and safe, live a good full life, the whole thing that we all want, right?
So if we can kind of focus back on that, and that's always the overarching, especially in the food industry, I see that a lot. People go back to, we're just trying to create healthy, safe food that people are going to want to eat. That's an easy mantra, right? We all get behind that. I can definitely get behind safe food.
You know, we definitely could say something like in our industry, we just want people to be resilient. Well, that doesn't really ring to a lot of people because resiliency actually is an action. It's very hard to get to be resilient. It is. You have to go through something to become resilient. Right. So it's a tough word in itself.
And I think the food industry understands that because they've already been through some stuff. You know, they go through stuff all the time. I think, again, moving forward, I think that culture piece is really key, George.
So I'm really glad that we talked about this today, because if we don't figure out how to work with that and how to be better, even in our own industry, how can we serve others effectively, ultimately? Yeah. Thanks for being here, George. Like, this has been great. I love rifting with you anyway, so I'm glad we finally got it on air because it's always been fun. Absolutely.
