(upbeat music) >> Welcome back to Fal.Con 22. We're here at the ARIA hotel in Las Vegas. We're here in Las Vegas, a lot. Dave Nicholson, Dave Alante. Fal.Con 22, wall to wall coverage, you're watching theCUBE. Anthony Kunya is here. He's the chief information security officer at Mercury Financial. And he's joined by his deputy CISO, Alex Arengo. Welcome, gentlemen. >> Good to see you. >> Thank you very much. Good to be here. Thank you for the opportunity to speak. >> Yeah, so this is a great event. This is our first time being at the, a CrowdStrike customer event. We do a lot of security shows, but this is really intimate. We got a high flying company. Tell us first about, of Mercury Financial. What are you guys all about? >> Oh, that's a fantastic question. Let's leeway into that. So Mercury Financial is a credit card company that serves people who are near prime. So be it some kind of hardship in their life. They had something impacted, be a financial impact, maybe a medical impact, an emergency, something, a death family where somehow their credit was impacted. We give 'em the opportunity through our motto, better credit, better life, to build up that credit score to add livelihood to their ability to be financially stable. >> I mean, I think this is huge because you know, so many people it's like, okay, one strike and you're out. >> Right. >> You know, that's just not right. You got- >> No, not at all. >> You got to give people another chance. And so there's so much talent out there. I think about some of the mistakes I made, Dave, when I was a younger man, but- >> No comment. >> Right. So I heard a stat today that I thought was great. Did you guys see the keynote? >> Yes. >> Of course. >> So in the keynote, the, they did the thing at Black Hat but they said what's XDR and I thought- Anthony] Oh goodness. >> My favorite, and I'm not going to ask you what XDR is. >> Okay, good, thank God. >> But my favorite answer was a holistic approach to endpoint security. And, you know, I think as a CISO you have to take a holistic approach to a security- >> Of course. >> Okay. >> Maybe talk about, a little bit about how you do that. >> Wow, a holistic approach I would say and I could, I'll give you an opportunity to speak as well, but a holistic approach it's people processes in technology. So a holistic approach would be, it isn't one box that you check. It's not a technology that is a silver bullet that fixes anything. Those technologies, those services are implemented by people. So good training, our human firewall, the forefront of implementing those technologies to build those processes and incorporate people and a level of sincerity and integrity that we build. So I feel like a holistic approach is both cyber culture to build the cyber resilience program that we so dearly need. >> And I could spend all day talking about security organizations, SecOps, DevSecOps, data SecOps, et cetera, but, but Alex, how, what is your role as the deputy CISO? How do you compliment what Anthony does? >> I got to bring it all together, right? So technically, what are we putting in place? What are the requirements that these stakeholders have? Their needs, their wants. We all have something that we need and want in our environment as an employee, as a customer, as a stakeholder. How do do we get that to market? How can we get it there quickly? You know, and it's really about finding the partners that can get us there, right? That can leverage us, that can force multiply us. >> Yes. >> You know, give my people more time to get the work done, the good work. >> Right, the hard work, of course. >> So paint a picture. You know, we hear a lot about all the different, the bevy of tools, the, how complicated CISOs tell us all the time, that we just don't have enough talent. We're looking for partners to help us compromise, but paint a picture of your environment and how you guys use CrowdStrike. >> Oh, that's a good one. Do you want to take this one? >> Great one, right? I mean, we leverage CrowdStrike at every way we can. We're a Fal.Con complete customer. So they're an extension of our team. They're an extension of our SOC right? >> Yeah. >> We leverage them for many things. We leverage them to understand the risk in our environment. Where we're at in zero trust. How we can really bring a lot of the new processes that the business wants to market, right? How can we get there as fast as possible? Can we make it secure, right? I'm a Mercury card customer also. So I'm, I have a vested interested in that. And I like to drive that, that's, so it comes down to can you align your holistic approach, or your organizational goals and bring that to a really good security product that is world class? >> And I can add a little bit to that as well. So I look at it as a triangle. So we leverage Fal.Con complete as that first level, tier one triage, people who do and understand the product extremely well, we leverage them quite a bit. We also have a VSOC service that we have this like, consider tier two or the middle of the triangle, by Verse, right? >> Yeah. >> Fantastic boutique security company that just has been working with us year over year, innovation, strategic initiatives, always there to play. And then Alex Arengo, and the threat management team, is our top tier, that's tier three, that's the top of the pyramid. By the time it bubbles up to Alex, that's when the real work happens, everyone's triaging, collecting data, putting together pieces. And then Alex and his teammates, and people that he's trained, fantastic, comes and puts it all together and paints a picture so we can then take that information and describe it in layman's terms, simple terms, to the business, to make them understand the level of risk, what we have to do to get to, and through that attack, or that indication of compromise, et cetera, so that we can remediate it, rectify it. >> Right, it's building that security culture foundation, right? It's getting everyone to buy into that. >> Yeah. >> It's a holistic approach and it's really the best way to do it, right? You get bought in from the stakeholders understand what they need to do, and what the goals of the business are. And it really works really well >> We journey together. >> We build a program together. >> Dave, I think that that cultural aspect is critical. Cause I've said many times, bad user behavior trumps good security every time. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Oh goodness. >> Every time. >> Nicely put, I like that. >> So, I know we're early in the week still, but we did have the keynote. Is there anything that you are hearing, in terms of vision, that peaks your interest specifically, and then also sort of the follow up question is, are you guys kind of like lifeguards who can't ever relax at the beach? >> That's why I have a deputy CISO. Well, nobody can take time off, we have to share this. Of course we do. Most definitely. What would you say would be the next, most innovative thing that were looking for? >> Yeah, what's the next big thing, as far as you're concerned? >> The next biggest thing is definitely building the relationships we have. As we bring in new technologies, we go even more Cloud native. How do we leverage that expertise, that of the partners that we're bringing on board like Zscaler, CrowdStrike, Verse, right? How do we make them a part of the team, and make them perform, bring that world class quality talent across the spectrum, you know, from DevOps to that security analyst, picking up the phone and saying, I'm not really sure what's going on, but there's a culture that's built there where everybody comes to the table to feed, right? We all eat together. >> The ecosystem. >> Yes. >> That is the tooling that we leverage day in and day out. That's how we sleep at night. We have to pick our partners. >> You know, we talked about the ecosystem up front, and you look around, you can see the ecosystem and it's growing. >> Yes. >> And I predict it's going to grow a lot more. >> Yes. >> That's, and it has to, right? I mean, exactly what you're saying is that no one company can do it alone. And we heard, you know, we heard, it is confusing. You hear CrowdStrike's doing Identity, but then they partner with Okta. Right, and they're here out on the floor. So that's what you guys need. Talk a little bit more about the importance of ecosystem and partnerships from your perspective. >> Oh I got a good one for this. So I use the metaphor of having a restaurant. So we run a restaurant really well. We know what we want in the menu. We have a chef, we know how we want to put together, but we need excellent ingredients. You make muffins well. Bring your muffin into the restaurant. That brings and builds that rapport. That I want the menu to be rich and empower people to come in and say, you know, I've never had scallops or octopus before, I hear you guys make it better than anyone else, well, our ingredients are fantastic. Therefore, no matter what we do when we present it, it's perfect, it's palatable. >> Yeah. That's great. You're not making ice cream, but you're serving it. >> I can't, if you ever want to show us. >> We're just converging our bakery, you know? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, salt, salt is the key. >> We're just working the bakery part out, yeah. >> Okay, I want to ask you about Cloud because you know, in 2010, 2011, when you talk to a financial services firm, Cloud, no, that's an evil word, now everybody's Cloud first. George Kurts talks about how, I mean essentially CrowdStrike is dogmatic. We are Cloud native. We have a Cloud native architecture. I know Gartner has this term CNAP or Cloud native application platform. So what does the Cloud mean to you guys? How does it fit in? What does Cloud native architecture do for you? >> It lets us converge everything we've been talking about. How do we, you know, that's a really big struggle that all security teams are having at, having today. How do I converge threat intelligence? How do I converge the environment that I'm in? How do I converge the threat intel that's coming in, right? All this, you're getting, security teams are constantly on a swivel, right? They're looking left, they're looking right. They're trying to identify what to do first. And you bring in the right partners. >> Yes. >> And you get in, you build the right program. You cement that culture internally. And it really provides dividends. >> You know what I think as well, Dave, is in the past, everyone was more data center based. >> Right. >> The Cloud was like a thing we'd forklift, we'd move over, we were born in the Cloud. So Cloud native Application protection is something that we need and will drive innovation. Will align with our strategic initiatives. We need people to think like the Cloud is what's happening. Super Cloud, some of the things that we spoke about. >> Yeah, so I was at, when we were at reinforced, I had this new mental model emerge, and it sort of hit me in the face. And you tell me, I'd love to talk to practitioners to say, yeah, that makes sense or, no, that's crap. So it seems like the Cloud has become the first line of defense for CISOs. Now you're Cloud first or Cloud native, so, okay. But then now you've got the shared responsibility model. And I don't know if you use multiple Clouds. Do you use multiple Clouds? >> We cannot say. >> Cannot say, okay, let's assume for a second, your, some of your colleagues, CISO colleagues, use multiple Clouds. >> They should, okay, sure. >> Now they've got multiple shared responsibility models. Now you've got also the application development team. They're being asked to be the pivot point to actually execute, they got to secure the platform. They got to secure the containers, their run time. >> Workloads, yes. >> And then you got audit behind you is kind of the last line of defense. So things are shifting. Describe sort of the organizational dynamic that you see, not necessarily specific to Mercury Financial, or that would be cool, but generally in the industry. >> Oh, I would say, I could say this, that having Cloud, multitenancy Cloud or the super Cloud model where we could abstract our services our protection, the different levels of security tooling, being able to abstract and speak a common language where you could run in Azure, GCP or AWS, and still have a common language that you can interpret and leverage between all the tooling would be something I would love to see. >> That's Super Cloud >> A magical, that is that. >> That is a Cloud interpreter essentially. >> I think we use different words, but yes. >> A PAs layer, super PAs layer, sorry to take it too far. >> Yeah, like, I want to be able to abstract it and speak a language that would work in any of the- >> What does that do for you as a technology practitioner? >> Well, imagine if you had to speak three different languages with three different people, get lost in translation. If we could speak a common language across all the different platforms and all the different footprints, it would be easier to define our security posture. Where are we? Are we secure? You might say security groups in AWS, it might be, mean something else, but it's still a level of protection that surrounds the end point, right? Something that would abstract that level would be very fun. Very good for me. >> It's, you know, it's pretty easy to understand your use case for this. When you're talking about here we are, Mercury Financial, you have the most sensitive financial information about people, right? >> Right, absolutely. >> A data breach where all of the information about your customers getting out there on the dark web. Right? Heart attack time. >> Instantly. >> What are some things that people might not think about though, that are going on in your world? What would surprise someone who maybe isn't a security specialist in terms of the things that you're dealing with as far as threats are concerned? >> I'm going to leave that on you. >> Can you think of some examples of things that you could, you know, obviously generic examples. >> Right. >> Yes. >> I'm going to point to the number one and two most common ways that applications and businesses are getting owned right now. And that's misconfigurations on your web app or a vulnerable application or phishing. And those are both very important things, right? A lot of development teams, they want to get things to market as soon as possible. And maybe security's on the back foot. It's about building that culture and to, you know, being Cloud native helps you have a, you can provide different tool sets to your organization that helps you understand that posture and makes you help those business decisions. Are we in a good posture to go forward right now? That's a big question that I think most security organizations need to ask themselves and the need to hold other stakeholders accountable. >> So phishing and the concept of social engineering, still alive and well? >> Oh, goodness. >> Always. >> Everything starts with people. The human firewall has to be front of mind. Security can't be an afterthought or a bolt on, that's something that you think about, well, I guess if I have to meet our compliance, it doesn't work with us. >> Comes back to the culture that you're actually talking about before. >> 100%, yeah, cyber resiliency starts with cyber culture. >> Kevin Mandy has said it today. I, never underestimate the adversary. The adversary- >> Of course. >> Is highly capable, motivated, big ROI and it just keeps getting bigger. The more technology gets embedded into our lives. The more lucrative hacking becomes. >> And more attack vectors. We have more areas that we could be potentially penetrated. >> They have a lot of time. Those threat actors have a lot of time. >> They do have a lot of time, yeah. >> Right. >> Right and to your point, you're constantly on the swivel. Right, you don't have time. >> Right. >> No, we don't. >> So do your responsibilities touch on things like fraud detection as well? >> Yeah, oh, that- >> Is that a silly question? I'm thinking- >> Yeah, no, it really is, so- >> No, not at all. >> Or there isn't segregation between what we would think of as IT and the credit card transaction that fires up a red flag. >> Those are integrated. >> It's definitely important. And in any business, right? Is to, like I mentioned, I use this word a lot converge, right? It's converging that intel, that fraud intelligence and making it into a process where we're reducing the risk and the losses that the business is incurring. >> Yes. >> It's so important, right? That we build that culture within the fraud teams, the operational teams, the, you know really anybody who has a really large stake in whatever the business product is. And, you know, being Cloud native, bringing in the right partners, building that security culture. I mean, that's the biggest one. >> Yeah, we've flown. >> It's last and definitely not least, it is, the culture's where you need to be. >> Absolutely. >> You know, you guys, I'm sure, you know, work with a lot of different vendors, a lot of tools, or sometimes the tools are point tools, they're best to breed. CrowdStrike says it wants to be a generational company. >> Oh, yeah. >> It says this notion of an unstoppable breach is a myth. You guys can't live that way. You have to assume you're going to breach but can CrowdStrike be a generational company? >> I think they've proven themselves. They've been around over a decade now. it's 11 years. They just had their birthday yesterday, right? >> Yeah. >> Or anniversary, the company started? >> Yeah. 11 years, yeah. >> I absolutely, and I also agree to add it a little bit part, from the fraud part. I think CrowdStrike would be an integral piece of the overall solution that we have. It hits so many different aspects and looks at so many different potential attack vectors. I keep using that word, but I think integrating fraud in other parts and other functions of the business will start to see that they can leverage CrowdStrike. That there's tooling within CrowdStrike innovatively, like ahead of the game. And I always like that about CrowdStrike, being way ahead of the game and thinking in front of our adversaries. I think other departments will be like, what tools do you have, how can we use them? This is fantastic, this makes us feel better. We don't have to worry about that. We can focus in on what we're good at and build that best of breed solution. So fraud can focus on fraud and you can leverage the tooling and the infrastructure that we provide them together holistically to build a security program that's beyond reproach. >> Guys, we got to go, great perspectives. Always love having the practitioners on. >> Yeah, thank you. >> I really appreciate your time, thank you. >> Yeah, absolutely, always a pleasure. Thank you so much for your time. >> Anthony, Alex, Dave and Dave will be right back, right after this short break. You're watching theCUBE from Fal.Con 2022 from the ARIA in Las Vegas. >> Cheers my friend. >> Yeah, of course. (cheerful music)

(upbeat music) >> Welcome back to Fal.Con 2022. My name is Dave Vallante. We're here with my co-host Dave Nicholson. On the last earnings call George Kurts made a really big emphasis on the relationship with managed service providers. CrowdStrike has announced a new service provider capability. The powered service provider program. Jason Cook is here. He is the president of cyber defense labs. He's joined by Mike Riolo. Who's the vice president of global system integrators and service providers at CrowdStrike gents. Welcome to TheCube. Good to see you. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you >> Jason, tell us about cyber defense labs. What do you guys do? Give us the bumper sticker, please. >> Cyber defense labs uses the best technology in the world to put together services that help protect our clients >> Simple. Like it. What's XDR? (people laughing) >> I've not heard of that before, sorry. >> So Mike, we've seen the rise of service providers. I saw a stat, I don't know, six, seven months ago that 50% of us companies don't even have a SOC. We're talking about mid to large companies. So service providers are crucial. What's the CrowdStrike powered service provider program all about? >> Well, it's an evolution for us. We've been dealing with this market for some time. And the idea is, is like how do we expand the opportunity to stop reaches? I mean, that's what it's all about. Like how more routes to market, more partners like cyber defense labs that can really go in and bring our technology coupled with their services to power their offerings to their customers and just help us reach every end user out there, to stop reaches. >> So Jason, how do you guys differentiate? Cause I see, you know, as an analyst, I'll look back, I'll read the press releases and they'll see, okay. They just look so similar. So how do you differentiate from the competition? What do you tell customers? >> So when it comes to our selection of technology we test it, we work it, we literally put it into real world situations with our clients. And then we differentiate ourselves with expert services. It's a white glove service from us. We embed ourselves right in with our clients. That's why we call 'em our client partners. And they see us as part of their team and extension of their team. They don't have the time to play with technology and work out what's best. They don't know the time to select it or even then the expertise to use it effectively in the environment. So that's where the trust comes in with us. And then for us, likewise, we are the technology provider such as CrowdStrick, we need to know the technology works and it does what it says. >> I always ask CISOs; What's your number one challenge? And they'll say lack of talent. The only time I didn't get that answer was at... The Mongo DB CISO at reinforced. I'm like yeah, it's cause you're Mongo, I guess reinforced or AWS doesn't have the same problem, but do you... Obviously you see that problem. And you compliment that, is that a fair? >> Yeah, absolutely. Many, many companies mid-market enterprises are really struggling to find talent and then retain the talent. So for us where that's all we are about and then we are there to enable your business to do what your business does. It is just working and I think more and more so you're going to see an industry clearly CrowdStrike's going in that direction. That it's the service provider that becomes a critical element of that trusted circle. >> Does that translate into a market segment by size of organization typically or? You mentioned the ever never ending quest for talent which is critical regardless of size but what does your target market look like? >> So I, I think the biggest gap in the market frankly, is still the mid-market. Many smaller companies still are really just struggling with 'what is the problem.' At least in the mid-market, in the enterprises they really beginning to understand the problem and want to invest and lean in. And here's the irony. They now want to partner to solve the problem cause they recognize they can't do it on their own. >> So Mike, what are the critical aspects of this program? I mean, got the press release out there, but put some meat on the bone for us. >> So if you look at what we were doing to enable managed service providers to go in and, and be powered by CrowdStrike before it was in a corporate market segment it was a specific set of product from us to really enable MDR, you know, sort of that, that generation of services that a lot of customers looked at MSPs for. And what the big message about this is is we are now expanding that. We're taking it out of corporate, we're going upmarket, we're going enterprise. We can leverage partners like cyber defense labs to package our software into their offering and help them power them more than just endpoint. Right? We've had a lot of exciting announcements and probably more to come around identity, you know XDR, the new buzz, right? Like what does it mean? And in, if you look at our approach, it's a very platform centric approach and that's something that partners can monetize. That's something that partners can really help clients grow with is that it's not just about endpoint. It's more about how do I make sure that I'm in a position with a partner that allows me to grow as a market decides it's necessary. So things like identity, cloud on and on and on, that we're investing in and continuing to grow. We are making that available to the CrowdStrike powered service about our marketplace. >> So Jason, service providers historically outsourcing, okay. And it used to be a lot of; 'okay, you know, I'll take over your mess for less kind of thing.' Right? And so the pattern was you would have one of everything and then, that limited your scale. The bigger you got, you had this economies of scale. So am I hearing that, like how do you partner with CrowdStrike? Are you kind of standardizing on that platform or not necessarily cause you have to be agnostic. What's your posture on that? >> So there's a level of, you have to be technology agnostic. We pride ourselves in just using the best technology that's out there. But at the same time, very much with the Fal.Con platform they're building out and maturing in a way that's making significant risk mitigation abilities for a solution provider like us to say we'll take one of those, one of those and put our service around it because that's the best fit service to reduce the risk of this particular client. And having that flexibility for us to do that really allows us then to stay within the same sort of product suite rather than going outside when integration is still one of the biggest challenges that you have. >> So you're one of those organizations that's consolidating a bevy of point tools. Is that right? I mean, you're going through that transformation now. Have you already gone through that? What's your journey look like there? >> Oh, we help companies do that. That's how they mitigate and reduce their risk. >> Okay. But you're using tools as, as well. Are you not? So I mean, you've got to also I mean you're like an extension of those clients. >> Absolutely. So it comes down to a lot of the time do you have the right team? We have a team of experts that deliver expert services. You get to a level of skillset and experience, which goes what's just the best tool out there. And it becomes that's our insight. So one of the reasons why we like the Fal.Con product is because regardless of what the mess is, that's happening you can rapidly deploy stuff to make a difference. And then you then work out how to fix the mess which is quite a change from how traditionally things are done, which is let's analyze the problem. Let's look at options around it. And by the time you've done that time has passed and you can't afford to just allow time to pass these days. So having the right technology allows you to rapidly deploy. Of course, we use what we sell. So we are proud to say that we use a number of the Fal.Con products to protect ourselves and consolidate onto that technology as we then offer that out as a service to our clients. >> So Mike, I'm thinking about the program in general and specifically how you are implementing this program thinking about the path to bringing the customer on board. There are a finite number of strategic seats at any customer's table. So who is at the customer's table? Is it CDL saying; 'Hey, I'm going to bring in my folks from CrowdStrike to have a conversation with you.' Is it CrowdStrike saying; 'Hey, it looks like a service provider might be the best solution for you. Let's go talk to CDL.' How does that work? >> It's a great question. And I think we talk a lot about how there's a gap in people to support cyber efforts inside of companies. But we don't talk about the gap in like experts that can go in and actually sit down with CISOs, with CIOs, with CFOs. And so for us, like it's all about the flexibility. It's it's what do you need in the moment? Because at the end of the day, it comes down to the people. If Jason has a great trusted relationship, he's like; 'Hey I just need some content.' 'Help me push why we're powered by CrowdStrike in this moment.' Great, go run. If we have an opportunity where we know that cyber defense labs has a presence then we go in together, right? Like that flexibility is there. We've done a lot. When you build a program like this, like it's easy to tell the market what they need. It's easy to tell everybody, but it's also you're looking at a cultural shift and how CrowdStrike goes to market, right? Like this is all about how do we get every possible route to market to stop reaches for customers of all size. >> I would echo that. there's three ways that that's working for our two companies at the moment. Many times a lot of the relationships that we have are trusted advisor at the owner or board level of these mid-market and enterprise companies. They're looking to ask for a number of things. And one of the things that we then say is, Hey for your technology roadmap, hey we want to bring in co-present coded us, co-discuss co-strategize with you what your roadmap is. And so we often bring CrowdStrike into the conversations that cyber defense lab is having at the board level. Then on the other side, CrowdStrike obviously has a significant sales force and trusted advisors. They go in with the product and then it's apparent that the you know, the client wants way more than just the product. They say, this is great. I love it. I've made my decision, but I can't operate it effectively. And so we then get pulled in from that perspective >> You get to all the time from product companies, right? It's like, okay, now what? How do I do this? And you go, oh, I'll call somebody. So this is going to accelerate. You go to market. >> Well, and everybody looks at it like, you know how does your sales play with their sales, right? Everyone's going after the same thing. And I'm, you know, that's important, but you have to look at CrowdStrike as more than sales, right? We have an amazing threat intel group that are helping clients understand the risk factors and what bad people are trying to do to them. We can bring so many experts to the side of a cyber defense labs in, in that realm. You know, we've been doing this a long time. >> This is what's interesting to me when I think about your threat hunting, because you guys are experts and you guys are experts. But the... Correct me if I'm wrong. But the advantage I see at the CrowdStrike has is your cloud platform allows you to have such a huge observation space. You got a ton of data and you bring that to the relationship as well and then you benefit from that? >> It's two way. It's absolutely two way. CrowdStrike has a whole bunch of experts and expertise in this space. So do cyber defense labs. We call it for us because we're providing a service to multiple clients. Many of them have a global presence. We call it our global threat view. And absolutely we are exchanging real time threat telemetry data with, with our friends at CrowdStrike Which is impacting the value that we have and the ability to respond extremely quickly when something's happening to one of our clients. >> Well, I just add to that, you know if you look at all of our alliances, right? We've got solution providers, tech reliant, everything. The one thing that's really interesting about the CrowdStrike powered service provider program; it lives in alliances, It's a partnership program, but they're our customer. They have chosen to standardize on our platform, right. To help drive the best results for their customers. And so we treat them like a partner because it's not for internal use. There's unlimited aspect to it. And so as that treating like partnership we have to enable them with more than just product. Right? We want to bring the right experts. We want to bring the right, you know, vision of where the market's going the threats out there, things of that nature. And that's something that we do every day with you guys. >> And it was even expressed earlier with the keynote speech that George gave. Look there's an ecosystem of very good technologies, very good providers. And there there's that sort of friend-of-me view here. You put the best thing together for the client at the end of the day. And if we all acknowledge, which I think is the maturity of our partnership, that one plus one equals, I always say at 51 now, if you play it right, then the partner sees... That the client sees the value of the partnership. And so they want more of that. >> So it sounds like... We got to wrap, but I wonder if we could close on this. It sounds like this was happening just organically in the field. Now you've codified it. So my question to each of you is; What's your vision for the future? Where do you guys want to take this thing? >> What a wrap question right there. I love it. Honestly, like we look at it in... Look at what does it mean to be a CrowdStrike powered service provider. It is more than just the platform. It's the program in general, offering them tools to go in and do early assessments. One thing about service providers, they're in there before vendors, right? We're still a vendor at the end of the day. And so they have that relationship, like how do we enable them to leverage our platform leverage our tools, leverage our programs in order to help a client understand, like, what is your risk factor Could a breach come, things of that nature.
