He's great for your business.
He is the reason why I walk to the bank laughing.
It's very much so.
Vladimir Putin is essentially waging a sort of a low-grade cyber war against the U.S., which is, in his perspective, asymmetrical warfare, because they only have 10% of the budget that we do.
And so he's harassing U.S., you know, both profits and nonprofits with all this, you know, essentially, COVID ransomware, that's the best example.
Okay, those programs are state-sponsored cyber attacks.
It's just offensive cyber attack that they create zoos of code that is offensive code as opposed to defensive.
The NSA is a good example.
They have a whole bunch of that stuff, which was recently hacked, and then showbrokers
which is indeed a shadowy set of people, let these loose, which brings us to today, where you have this WannaCry ransomware, which has an NSA zero-day built in, which is a worm.
So this is kind of like a tomahawk missile that got loose and was used by a ransomware gang.
Now, we, of course, also have tons of these offensive cyber weapons.
So does Russia.
So does China.
And the problem is that hackers go after the weak link in IT security, which is the human.
And so they send well-crafted phishing emails to specific people that they know who they're going after with a very, very convincing email and an attachment.
Somebody opens the attachment and clicks and that workstation is owned.
We send you and the people in your team frequent phishing attacks that are very close to what the bad guys do.
So we inoculate the people in your organization and get them to essentially get their awareness up so they stay on their toes with security top of mind.
That's what we do.
