Yeah.

It's really a scary world.

And I'm not saying here that's great.

What we call, you know, fear and certainty and doubt, right?

We're kind of in a world in our business space.

We've been doing it for a long time.

I started in IT 30 years ago as kind of a techpreneur.

I was in a software business and we reinvented ourself into kind of network integration and

Then we eventually spun out what they call a managed services provider.

And we built a network operations center and a niche data center, 15,000 square foot facility.

And it's certified and all that.

But then over the last 10 years, that's where we really evolved, where we lead with cybersecurity.

We really become what they call an MSSP.

So you're a managed security service provider.

And so that's really what we lead with because everything in management of IT really does require that you're managing, you know, all of the IT systems with a security first mindset.

And I talk about that a little bit in the book.

Matter of fact, one of the things that's really important is kind of getting back to the processes is that there are some older studies and they're still, still true recently that 70 to 80% of IT downtime and IT failure is

is correlated to like some unapproved, unauthorized, untested change.

So if you have really bad change management practices, you likely are going to have a lot of IT downtime.

And here's the quip of cybersecurity that I talk about in the book a little bit, is that no security breach happens without a change or a need for a change.
