Speaker 2
Wow, it makes us sound really old now, you know. Yeah, it was, it was definitely a lot more red tape around how things could be done. But it also rightfully so, because we didn't have these. We didn't
Speaker 1
have the feedback, make it
Speaker 2
is we didn't have a feedback. We had software running on a single server with like, you know, yeah, exactly. Yeah. Microservices that you can do one out, pull one in and change it up, but you know, move it over. Yeah,
Speaker 1
and if organizations are super advanced, they had like dark data centers with like mirror and machines that might switch over, but you know, it'll take, you know, six hours or
Speaker 2
something. That was good. Yeah.
Speaker 1
You just have to
Speaker 2
migrate the data. Yeah, it's definitely, it's it's an interesting world that that we uh, that we've come to.
Speaker 1
But I think from a security perspective, we're just starting to to see really interesting ways where we can refine and enrich that data though, right? And this is, this has really come from all these things starting to to collide together about programmatic infrastructure, because you know, the fact that that we have a way of of uh, of automatically understanding where things are, where they're deployed, what they're what they're able to talk to, all that kind of information. Now let's just be able to to start saying, well, you know, I've got this vulnerability, but am I exercising that code path? And is it actually deployed in production? And that starts to give you some some, uh, some kind of really critical data in terms of prioritization, right? It's exposed there in production, fix that first. And this is the first time in history, we've kind of been able to do that, right?
