Only then, after six weeks, we were able to go patch everything.

So what does this mean?

This means that every enterprise better fix their stuff faster.

Because if I point the next generation of models against your infrastructure, it's going to find security flaws, security vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, things that you've not been paying attention to.

So it creates a bit of an urgency on the part of the customers to improve their cybersecurity posture, which I think generally is a good thing for cybersecurity companies.

Well, look, the solutions are there.

The challenge is sometimes getting the attention and focus of the customer saying, listen, I got to go fix my stuff because it's important.

What this has done is it lit a fire under the security practitioners around the world saying, this thing is not good.

This is going to weaponize the bad actors.

I better make sure my defenses are in place.

And remember, the way cyber defense is done is it's fundamentally just cybersecurity is two fundamental things, right?

One thing is if it's bad and I'm at the gate, I'll stop it.

which means you have to have somebody at the gate.

Now, we have 150 million sensors in the world where we stand at the gate protecting our customers.

If I can find a way of infusing AI at the gate and taking all these vulnerabilities and finding a way to protect you, I'm good.

I don't have to chain the gatekeeper because there's no cloud endpoint agent that exists out there.

There's no open endpoint agent that exists out there that I can

replace Palo Alto or the other people in the space with.

The problem is not at the gate.

What happens is despite all the perimeter defense you put in, things come in.
