And then you've got to decide at what point in time do we want to restore to?

Can we lose four hours of the data?

Can we lose no data?

And then how long is it going to take us to restore if we do?

That way, when the black screen of death, as we call it, and the text file says that we have all your files encrypted and you want access to your network, you need to pay us this amount of Bitcoin to this address.

You can basically just not pay it, ignore it.

And you know that within, you know, eight hours or maybe 24, 48 hours, you can get your business back up from your backups.

You can truly restore them because they're really immutable.

That's out there.

We'd buy an antivirus software and it would protect you against most of the popular malwares.

And then they would write new malware that would go around the antivirus software.

So then you'd have to do your updates that you got the latest anti-malware.

That's a little bit the cat and mouse that we're in with cybersecurity all the way around.

is that they'll figure out something with AI that they can do to try to hack people and different methods, but then new AI deterrence, and we use a variety of different AI tools in our business that can actually do a really good job of cutting down the noise and finding some of the AI hacks.

But where it really gets tricky with AI is when we get into deep fakes and we get into this idea of really using it as social media, because still 80%, 70 to 80% of all hacks or network infiltrations that happen
