Hackers are getting better at their jobs, but people are getting better at prevention

Nation-state actors have a variety of extremely sophisticated means of getting into a system, of staying in a system, and when I say being quiet, being very hard to find, and then erasing their tracks.

Then the hacker, since hackers are not really in the business of following up on their promises, will go and sell that data anyway.

One of the other issues that you should realize is that even if there is going to be federal legislation, it's only going to make a difference if it overrides and preempts state laws, and the states do not want that to happen.

Now, it's a very valuable endeavor because a company that understands its collection and use of data is going to understand its business much, much better.

It's not just on a business level, it's going to impact people on a personal level.

It's going to frankly, make people's lives better.
