Okay.
I think an important part of what we do is explaining complex things in a simple way that anybody can understand.
Probably my favorite.
Well, my go-to for what we do, if a normal person was to say what's ThreatLocker all about, you use the analogy of your house and a lock on the door and how a lock on the door is a control.
or lock on your windows as a control.
They're all controls.
You could talk about how detection and response is like an alarm.
It's a motion sensor.
It's something that is reactive.
The control is stopping people from getting in, but the reactive is in case somebody does manage to get in.
And you can take that to the nth degree because we have people who will go so far as to say ring fencing is about allowing people into your house through the lock but then saying they can't go to particular rooms within the house so they're allowed to come so far and no more.
And you can take it to the nth degree.
You can go really far with that.
But just in very simple terms, it is.
And I actually, I don't know if you caught Danny's intro on Wednesday.
He described his threat locker being a bank vault and the EDR portion of it.
being a motion sensor with laser beams, which I thought was an interesting way of describing it.
But it's fundamentally the same idea, which is we build locks, we build controls around environments.
In some cases, with like ring fencing, you let things in and you let them do certain things, but no more.
But I think that is a useful metaphor for describing to people who don't understand what proactive security looks like is.
