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.

The food scientists, the quality people, the protection people, they understand. The defense teams definitely get it because we can help them fight food fraud and obviously all the drug issues that are happening in the food industry.
