Because, I mean, I'm ready to like suit up and get into a security operations center now and start, you know, kicking some ass because that's how I feel about this situation. But this is also me. But what can we do to help you help fight the bad guys and diminish this? Can we help bring awareness? Can we help educate? What can we do?

A low hanging fruit. It's easy.

I always tell people to make it hard. Make it hard for these people to get into your building. Make it hard for them to get into your systems. Don't make it easy. Because if it's easy, then in some ways you probably felt like you deserved it at that point, right? Make it hard. I know it's not going to be easy necessarily to make it hard.

But once you've made it hard, you just have to do slight tweaks here and there to change it out or adjust and make it difficult for people to get in. It's always like the people who put alarm systems on their house but leave their front door unlocked. Why? Why do you do that? I never understood that. So you don't have to have all the latest and greatest tech.

You just have to use it efficiently, right? And effectively. That's what's important. Anyways, I'm sorry. I interrupted somebody probably.

Yep. And thank them. We've talked about this before, Andrew, you have to thank a farmer because they do so much and we don't even know because we're so far removed from it. You know, we just go to the grocery store and oh, there we are. Magic. I can just go and get a chicken. Great.

But I don't have to think about it, how it happened, how it was raised, where it came from and all the love that went into that and the hard work that went into it through multiple families and generations. Besides the fact that You know, I do cybersecurity within the food industry and agriculture.

I also want to support and be there for the people who are doing this work because I think that's super important. Part of the reason why I have the platform that I have is because we don't talk about this enough. And I bring this to the cybersecurity conferences and they look at me like I'm crazy. Because why are we talking about this?

But then when they start to hear it, they go, we're part of this. We need to do something. And then it's those conversations start up and then the hallway conversations start up and then people start looking around and trying to understand and incorporating this into their risk assessments.

A lot of people will get into the weeds of should they be doing a physical security assessment on a risk assessment? Yes, you should. Like, I think it's part of risk, right? Like, that makes sense to me. But having a different mindset when you're walking around an agricultural facility, whether it's a greenhouse or a chicken farm, is kind of different.
