Quotes
“Even though it’s cyber that we’re talking about, it’s about relationships. Because cyber is trust. It’s building digital trust in your environment, your systems. IFor us to be able to do that for clients, they need to trust us as humans. So, it definitely does come back to the ability to build those relationships.”

“In the past you connected automatically and two machines automatically trusted each other, or two companies automatically trusted each other. And right now we’re saying you just can’t trust. So create a new trusted connection every time you connect. Building out that entire infrastructure is pretty technical. It’s not going to be finished immediately, it’s a journey. So we work through topics like zero trust.”

“A couple of years ago, they said the average number of devices that an individual connected into was at least seven. We’re moving into a world of artificial intelligence and blockchain and all sorts of other great technologies. And that’s all going to just continue to increase our need for cyber security.”
