And I don't know if you see the same thing, Lieven, but that's what I note or see in the field when we interact with the customers.

Well, it's a special context in the sense that for local police, as a matter of fact, the NIST 2 regulation is not applicable to them.

But I see it as a guideline.

It's something that can inspire them, besides the other laws and regulations they have to follow.

But it can help them, guide them in how to build out a cyber resilient infrastructure for themselves.

It's a pretty challenging market.

It's very diffuse and we have a lot of police zones.

They all have their own infrastructure, so they all have to build out their own framework and they have to be able to govern it, guard it, make sure that they do the right thing.

Well, I think it's a tricky or a complex question which has a lot of angles.

You can take a look at it.

I'm convinced that the hyperscalers like Amazon, Azure, Google, that they will do everything they can to build out a resilient infrastructure.

However, it's like you said, there is the Cloud Act, which permits the US government to take control over the data, which is managed by a company which is headquartered in the US.

So this is kind of a, even when this data is stored in European data centers, I'm sorry, I should have said that right away.

But that's some kind of a sort of Damocles that might hang over the heads of those companies and by consequence also for the companies that store confidential data or very secure data or personal data on these clouds.

I think if I can add on top of that, if you look at the Cloud Act and what you tell Lieven, it's a lot about, am I sure that the confidentiality of the data is guaranteed?

Because we don't want anybody else or another state to take a look at the data which belongs to us.

besides that i think next to the cloud act there is also the geopolitical context which might people start to think about the availability of the platform one could imagine and there is a big dispute between the us and europe and the access to certain data which is stored over there although the confidentiality is still guaranteed the availability or the way i can have access to my data i can't control

So I think Clodact is one thing.

The other thing is how sure can I be that my data will be available and that there is no state or any other person entity that can decide to cut off the access to my data or because of a trade embargo might play with the prices and make it unaffordable to still continue using it over there.

Cloud Act is really a thing people think about, but I can imagine that for a lot of CIOs, and I think confidentiality might be very important for government and certain companies, but for a lot of companies also,
