that's bad let's get on it you know like that's let's just not even think about it i actually as an owner of a software company i actually got hit with a brute force attack a couple weeks ago and instead of freaking out we quickly triaged and everything was fine we didn't have any issues no breaches happened nothing like that but i actually afterwards i had this cackle laugh for like five minutes with like tears because i was like we're legit we got hit

because you got to turn it around to be like a positive in a way like oh yeah we're cool enough to be hit like right what did what did we do yeah sweet you know whatever we're doing is must be working our branding keep it going because we're doing well And I think if people started looking at it from that almost comical mindset, there might be the laser to roll through it.

But I am I am very worried about our food supply chain. And I'm not just speaking about the United States. I'm speaking globally because it impacts globally. It's not just here.

There isn't. And there's no real collaboration there. It's getting better. I shouldn't, I'm sorry. I shouldn't say that because a lot of the OT products want to work together in some type of a collaborative environment, but there's still like, you know, this is mine. That's yours kind of thing, which is fine. And whatever, I get it.

But there's no, how is an end user supposed to navigate all these products when they're already working on slim margins and whatnot? Because you know, this being in the utilities, there's no money, like money's allocated out. It's forecasted to hell. Right. The food industry is the same way. And everybody runs on slim margins and slim production because they want to get things moving.

And they call it efficiency. They bring in just product enough that they have to get in and then push it out. It's never anymore. So there's no spoilage or overflow. The water industry actually is learning how to feed itself, as I say, where they're selling their gray water to data centers that are close by to them. Brilliant, brilliant strategy, right?

But that now means that OT is in data centers even more than it was before. Yeah. Has anybody thought about that? Because your cloud needs OT. Like, hello. It's pretty obvious. Right. And the water guys need more and more love because they don't get any either.

And I will advocate for them until I turn blue in the face as well, because we need water for so much stuff in the food and ag industry, obviously. And we already have droughts everywhere. So there's that. moment as well. Glaciers are melting.

It's true. And I have a similar situation. My dad was a fireman for 45 years and that was all industrial equipment and DLCs and various other things. And he never really made the connection until I explained what I did. And then he kind of was like, huh, so you're like a chip off the block kid, aren't you? Like, this is like a continual theme.

I said, yeah, civil service clearly runs with the family, dad. I mean, exactly. That's really kind of what we're doing is social service. But yeah, no, absolutely. The more we added tech into these environments, and I mean tech by like internet ready, IoT, that kind of stuff. The more we turned all these legacy devices onto the internet, they were like, whoa, what is this?
