Pipeline is a great example, but I was thinking of JBS. That also showed that you have to have important disaster recovery. This is continuity planning. You can't retract beef once it's hit the trailer. There's no food or pasture necessarily for them to go back to the farm. And it might have been struck pretty far depending on where they were coming from.

Now you get stressed out meat that's defecating on itself. Yeah. And there's all these other additional food safety issues that are happening because of it. That was such a devastating situation that has such long-term effects. And God knows the payouts were rough. They were paying so much, not only for the ransom, but the cleanup, if you will.

And they don't, this is the problem is, oh, it's not going to happen to us. But if it does, we'll be fine. How can you assure, how is that assured? Like, I don't know. That's frustrating.

I completely agree. Andrew from the U.S., do you want to weigh in since you're on the front lines of agrotech?

That's a really graphic description. Wow. I think the thing that's really interesting about this is the it's such a distinctive difference between the enterprise side and the industrial farm, a whole bit manufacturing that people keep trying to twist it to be like enterprise.

So when they talk about it in groups, like especially, and I'm sure you've run into this too, where you're trying to explain what you've dealt with in your career and what you've seen on the industrial side to someone who's only been in enterprise, they kind of look at you funny, like, but why would you do it that way?

And my response back is a risk in your environment isn't necessarily a risk in my environment and vice versa. It's the people that are always going to be the biggest risk, full stop. Whether it's their safety or they're doing something or didn't mean to do something or something happened. Most of the time, it's the people that are causing the problem. I would say probably 90% of the time.

Technology doesn't wake up one day and decide to give itself a virus. You know what I mean? That's not something that it does. If it starts doing that, then we're done. We've got bigger problems. The days of it's become sentient, it's here. No, not yet.

What I think is frustrating from a cybersecurity point of view is I feel like I have to evangelize so much into the cybersecurity world to let them know that this is a problem, that agriculture and the food industry need help. And not because it needs help, but because it's the right thing to do too, because we all eat, you know, we need to care.

And the fact that it wasn't added to the 16 critical infrastructures or 15 at the time until 2020 completely pisses me off. Like- We've been eating and harvesting and doing this for the dawn of time. And here we are not realizing that we need to care about it because oil and gas go first. Automotive goes first. You know, water is not even really a consideration at times.

We have to rope that into the food industry because it's so prevalent in not only the production of food, but creating food. And I'm actually at a place where I'm simmeringly angry at all times about it now. We need to do something. Like we need to keep talking about it. All I do is evangelize. Like, hi, we need to care about cybersecurity and food. The food teams get it.
