You say yes so much of this happens under the radar and that.

For folks to get a glimpse of it to get a sense of what's out there must -- very exciting.

It's it is a fun time.

You know usually I look at it as though sampling -- this.

This is a conference with 5000 people who attendant pay 25 on about the so.

There really isn't a lot of you know go and pick particular thing go learn about and this is much more.

You're gonna get bombarded with a bunch of different things and you'll be lucky to make it and it talks he wanted to do and what what you'll learn something the -- -- you expected what's catching your -- right now though what do you focused on in terms of what's ahead and -- you some interesting.

Food for thought.

I think there's an interest escalation between areas of big data which you'll hear a lot about when you hit any of the sort of financial shows.

And then of course security write these things are emerging and very -- and ways and if you look at all the new products coming out and all the new.

Different talks and things that are happening in that space the ability to take a ton a -- -- and analyze it very quickly is really changing the world in every way and insecurity in particular.

And then you can also apple -- sending someone down there to.

Show folks what Apple's -- -- -- have a love hate relationship with the security community Amy Nelson attended band researchers.

Whenever they'd try to find anything in their products and it's been sort of a litigious company in the past.

But of course you know these days they can't afford to be out out of the party so they are gonna send people -- and people.

And of course all the all the defense contractors the cyber industrial base shall we say is gonna send.

Quite a team.

Well I mean certainly the stakes remain very high for.

Company like apple and Google particularly social media sites because.

Diss her sites that are -- being compromised and and people.

Are having concerns -- whether or not the security is.

In place that.

Due to a plant where people can feel confident trust it.

Of course then I mean.

Although the reality as we all know that they are all compromised.

It does help that they're sort of engaged in the community because it gives you sense that there are at least trying.

Well and trying and always had a for some folks though because.

There's so much at stake.

Nine and you'll notice companies like terrorists of closed their government cloud provider businesses because a lot of times the very very high high.

Security's very sensitive.

Organizations in the government and in industries like financial services have decided to stay out of the cloud.

And are realizing that the security is such an expensive part of the cost analysis they can't really afford to go there.

But even -- we have -- is the latest.

Programs in place to try and improve security.

The fact is though -- hackers are out there and they're always looking for ways to compromise.

Company's security systems and do you think that the most of that work.

Talking about right now -- even beaten will and that being out dated a couple of years from now.

I think you know a lot of the things that we talk about now are -- they'd already.

I mean antivirus systems intrusion detection systems a lot of these old school defensive measures really are very ineffective.

And what you really learn from some of these talks is just how effective they are.

And you think a lot of folks are ready to accept that though.

Acceptance is one of the very last stages and the -- cycle I find and I think you'll find that corporations feel the same way.

So there there's like denial going on there and of course that means if we're -- -- so they have to spend more money that's always something they don't really wanna do in terms of beating up their security system but the reality of in today's ever changing technological world is it not.

It is and a lot of times it's really about spending different money right I mean if you decide not to invest in any virus that really does free up your money to invest in stuff that works.

All right it's always great to have you on board to give us a sense of was glad there keep us posted on how the conference -- polls and what -- your right.

Triple -- all right take care.
