CEO's You Should Know x Rapid7

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So I grew up in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia,
and one of the things is that my daughter now
just is starting her first job. And for me, I
always thought about all the blessings I had growing up
and have I prepared my daughter well for the workforce.
And that's, to me, is the true test in lots
of ways that every parent faces. I think my parents

(00:22):
blessed me in so many ways. The thing I'll say
is that they installed what I now find hard to
see in the world today, this sense of hope and
this belief that if you actually worked hard, if you
actually did the right things, that you could actually be
more than what your circumstances limited.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
A YouTube. You know.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
My parents were working class. My mom started off as
a secretary. She ended up leading a personnel function for
one of the largest school districts in Georgia. My father
was a self taught electrician, but it took many jobs,
including janitorial jobs along the way.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I spent my childhood cleaning.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Up churches as a way to make money in addition
to cutting grass. I worked at Chick fil A in
my early teenage years. But my parents installed the sentence
that what I did and how I acted and how
I behaved and how I worked and made a difference.
And it ultimately didn't make a difference, but it was

(01:19):
because they had still that sense of belief that to
make a difference. I after I graduated from high school,
where by the way, I got buffed to high school.
So I got buffs from the south side of Atlanta
to the north side of Atlanta, and I had the
privilege of actually going to one of the wealthier public
magnet schools in the state, which really changed my opportunity
of outcomes. I considered that a blessing in lots of ways.

(01:42):
I got into Bandibolt University and that's where I went
to college, and that's why I'm a lifelong commodorece Flan today.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, and you and I were talking in the green
before that, both your football teams, So because I know
you did Harvard Business School too, Harvard football is having
a good year, Vanderbilt's having a good year. So things
are good in your football world.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Things are good in the football world. Vanderbilt Harbor had
a good one. Trake may just had a great.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Outing with that.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
I know what I know this God was buried down
just a year ago and now I'm just like you know.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
What things are so bad?

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Yeah, that's sports.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
I'm going to talk to you about this later in leadership, Corey.
But I'm a dad like you, and I've got a
daughter as well, who graduated last year. She's in Brooklyn.
She's a filmmaker now. And one of the things that
our generation for you and I because most of our
parents' generation they were very hard working and they instilled
that in us, and probably you and I were on
our own since we've been fourteen or fifteen, right, right,

(02:35):
but we're worth parturing out. Well, we're part of the
helicopter generation. Now, how we wanted everything better for our kids.
We spoiled them rodden. But I think the one thing
we did install to them the leaders do. And I
want you to talk about this later and we talk
about leadership is just working your tail off. You know,
showing up early is you know, showing up on time
and working your tail off. You don't have to be

(02:55):
always the gifted one, but if you work your tail
off and show some aptitude, you know, you can make
it in this world. And I think that's what you
and I and everybody else's generation passed down to our kids.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
I completely agree.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I think that is a gift that I know that
I passed down to my daughter and she has a
great work ethic. Yeah, mine too, moving out, but that's
kind of It's funny. How how you keep score? Yeah
and I And one of the most recent ways some
people at score is how well did I actually do
preparing my kids for the world that we inhabit.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, two hard jobs running a company and being a dad.
I mean they are top. Well, listen, we're here to
talk about Rapid seven and I know you put in
seventeen years and it's really incredible. But I'm also curious
for context for our listeners too. When you were coming
out of school, because you've been with Rapid seven for
seventeen as mentioned, but you did things before that. As
you were coming out of school, What did you want

(03:45):
to do?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh? Well, it changed.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Over time, It always does.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
I graduated from school, I was hardcore and I wanted
to be an innovator of technologist. I wanted to write software,
build programs. I grew up idolizing bill Labs and what happened.
It also happened to be that I was interning and
working at AT and T, which was a fantastic experience. Uh,
but they were also breaking off bill labs, they were

(04:11):
doing other things, and so I had to reassess what
I actually wanted to do and what I wanted to be.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
And part of what I saw at that time was research.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Because I start off with a hardware person was shifting
and there was this whole world of software that was
allowing us to do things that we didn't imagine before.
So I shifted from the hardware side of my orientation
to the software side. Vot you can do exactly what
you can actually build and create. And I ended up
going to Deloitte Consulting, where I looked at software redesign

(04:46):
and building modern systems, including one of the early Internet
banks in Europe. To I went to business school and
then the Microsoft and at Microsoft, I worked on the
product management team for sql server, their database ecosystem, and
got the experience in learning going that fast gowing business
and their serving tools division at that time. And so

(05:07):
those are some of the formative experiences that I had
before coming in too rapid seven.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Right, And you know, as I take a look at
your resume, you've done a little bit of everything and
you've worked for some very cool companies. You're not the
first person I've talked to in this series that have
gone through either Deloitte and or Microsoft. There's a lot
of people that have done that.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Now.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
I always love to ask this question too, before we
get into mission and vision of the company and what
you do. Obviously, you had a cool resume, you had
some experience, and I can see why Rapid seven was
interested in you. But why were you interested in joining them?

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, I was looking and I wanted to find After Microsoft,
I wanted to really get back to something that was small.
I had not done a early and I said, I
really do want to be in that innovation environment. It's
all about the people right. In fact, when I quote
people today, I say, look, you want two things. One,
you want to be in a market that's relevant. They're
doing important stuff. If it's irrelevant, it also makes people

(06:01):
willing to buy and pay for its sustainable.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
You want to be in something that matters and relevant.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
And two, the people that you're doing it with it
matters massively and hugely. Rapid seven had some fascinating and
great founders Alan Matthews, John.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Devine TOAs and Chad.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
The co founders had this passion and this interest in
this mission about making cybersecurity easy, more consumable.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
It was a space that was relevant.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Especially at that time because you had good guys and
actual bad guys like it didn't matter. The investors at
Bank Capital and Ben Holtzman, who are lifelong friends now,
had this passion and conviction to see companies successful. But
they also they cared about security and the outcome for customers,
which you always don't see in investors.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
So that's the reason that that was attracted to me.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
Well cool, Well let's do this.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
We're going to talk about so many things programs and
capabilities and really getting into the weeds in the company.
But I think mission and vision is always is a
really important thing to ask because I know they're important
to CEOs and leaders and companies. When I ask you
about mission and vision when it comes to Rapid seven,
what are they?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:08):
So our mission is very straightforward, very simple. We want
to help make sure that every organization. Let me just
say besides that every organization can have a great security
program and great security outcomes without breaking the bank. It
breaks my heart that you have small regional hospitals that
are constant cyber attacks. So we think about how do
you take complexity out of cybersecurity, how do you scale

(07:30):
cyber operations, but how do you actually make it where
every organization all over the world can have security operations
that are not just achievable, but actually are something that
they can afford, something that can secure them, and something
that can protect them. Because protection and that cybersecurity should
not be limited to the Fortune one thousand.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
It should not be limited to mid markets.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
It should not be limited to companies that are having
a great profit quarter or a great profit year. Our
customers span the spectrum from small commune, the regional hospitals
up to the Fortune ten.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
But our goal is the same.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Everyone should be able to have great security that protects
them in their mission.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
I know a lot of our listeners are very familiar
with Rabid seven. But for the ones that are Corey,
if you were to kind of give them a thirty
thousand foot view and a short version about exactly what
you and your team do, what would you tell them?

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, our team is a team that actually manages the
security of your technology environment. You can use our technology
to monitor the environment, analyze the environment for threats, prioritize
where you actually need remediation and you need vulnerabilities fixed,
patched or corrected, and we monitor the environment on one
places for tax. What makes us fairly unique is we
don't just offer the technology that manages the security of

(08:44):
your technology and security operations. We also offer the services
where you get the privilege to say, hey, I don't
have the capacity to actually do this because most organizations
can't hire the people, can't stay up to people, and
you can actually outsource that to us, and we'll actively
man as the environment and on your behalf, prioritize, organize,
monitor and respond to threats against you.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well, Corey, this is a great segue, I think, And
we're going to talk about programs and capabilities and some
of the offerings that you work with your clients. But
I always like to ask because I know it's a
competitive space. And with that said, I can already see
and hear your passion and I know that's one of
the things the leaders really bring to the tables, especially
the successful ones. But when it comes to differentiating yourself
from said competition out there, how do you do that?

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah, So the first thing is we actually have one
of the best integration platforms in the world. And the
reason that's key is every organization has a complex environment.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
You don't need to be a system.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Integrator to actually figure out how to pull all of
your security to limetry together and then what's going on.
We connect with every single existing system you have, and
we augment with our intelligence that we're collecting across your environment,
and we can tell you what your technology footprint is,
what the vulnerability risk in your footprint is, what the
compliance risk in your footprint is. Stuff needs to be

(10:00):
remediated at what pace and what scale, and what's critical
to remediate and what can we actually wait and then
we can actually actively monfor.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
The environment and tell you where you're under tack.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
What's unique is that we actually bring it all together
and we allow you not to actually operate in silos,
but we are your back in infrastructure that actually synthesizes
all of your security management across all of your security
infrastructure technology.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
All right, Well, you're starting to talk about this a
little bitsiness. This leads me to my next question, and
it's also a great segue when it comes to programs
and capabilities. I know you have a lot of different
offerings out there and whether it's a small, medium or
large business. I know it's a lacarte and everybody wants
something a little bit different. But when it comes to
some of the offerings that you're most proud of where
people want the most, what are they?

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, you know, if you look at our leading and offering,
they really follow into three categories. One is the MDR
Manage Detection Response. Our SIM technology, which allows people to
in our management experience that allows people to monitor the environment.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Is probably our largest seller today.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
The second is our vulnerability Exposure Management, which is really
how people actually prioritize and look at where they're vulnerable,
where they have risk, where they have misconfigurations across the environment.
And the last is cloud security. Those are the three
big We have ten different areas we sell in. But
when you think about why people come to us, they
come to us because they actually want the highest efficacy,

(11:19):
lowest cost way to monitor their environment. They want a
fast way to actually prioritize risk across their environment and
vulnerabilities and misc configurations and appliance gaps, and they come
to us actually solve that problem.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
You know, one of the things that I heard for years,
I'm gonna layman but I've been in the news media
with sports and news for thirty years, and I always
read about cybersecurity attacks coming from different countries, and in
the last ten or fifteen, as you know, being intimately
in this business now, we're hearing about domestic ones pretty
regularly right now. So with that said, I imagine it

(11:51):
makes your job that much harder, that much more challenging.
But when it comes to what the client's needs are,
when it comes to those kind of things, what are
clients talking to you about, what are their concerns out there?
And what are you working really hard at so everybody
can sleep at night.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Yeah, clients are drowning. And complexity if you use them out.
Most organizations say, I don't have an unlimited budget for cybersecurity,
so how do I get effective cybersecurity? How do I
deal with the fact that I'm having There's been more
and moral technology every year to keep up.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
With the AI race or this race.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
So it's complexity if you really want to boil it
down at the end of the day, it's complexity in
how they scale. Are the things that customers are actually
looking for and are if you look through all of
our customers, the ones that are successful are not the
ones that spend the most.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
But they have a couple of common attributes. One they
do the fundamental as well.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
So one they understand their attack surface better than anyone else.
And that's kind of why we actually have a big
focus on like you have to know your tack surface
better than your attackers and better than the people that
are trying to.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Get to you.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
But that's eminently solvable. The second thing is they're systematic.
They don't do everything, but the stuff that they do
they do really well, whether they do it themselves, whether
they outsource it, they're very systematic and making sure that
they actually have highly structured programs that run well. And
the you know, and the third thing that they do
is they are not defensive.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
They really instill a culture of.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
A I call it a secure culture, but it's a
culture that says like security.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Is everyone's job.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
When companies and organizations do that, they tend to be
wildly successful, and it actually strips.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Away a lot of the complexity.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
What I do, I love because technology helps, services helps,
but at the end of the day, people are trying
to tackle the complexity.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
And we also just say, like I say, you don't
have to do everything.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
You just have to do a common set of things
incredibly well, and that tends to reassure people.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
AI has been around for a long time, but it's
really being used by a lot of people, and I
imagine without any assumptions, it's used in your line of business.
What do you like about it? How do you use it?
And does anything scary about AI?

Speaker 1 (13:56):
So one, I love AI mostly because it's the being
that is allowing us to accelerate our mission. Our goal,
as I talked about earlier, is everyone has the right.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
To good cybersecurity. Now we have to make that a reality.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
What AI is doing is lowering the cost barriers and
allowing us to actually manage the operations of our customers
environments at high quality and high efficacy.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
So I love that aspect of it. We're we're putting
more and.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
More people on AI and deploying more and more AI
technologies every day, and that's part of both the success
we're seeing, but it's also part of what's exciting our
customers now. To get to your other point, what scares
me about AI? What scares me about AI is that
it's turning the attacker world upside down to you know,
we no longer get like those mystery emails with all

(14:42):
the misspellings and all the other.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Stuff, and forget like spellings.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
It is the micro fishing that people can do, whether
they're selling to you or whether they're targeting you for
an attack.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
They can go into your LinkedIn profile, your social.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Media and they can actually use AI to figure out
what's the best way to target you and the It's
just like we're using AI across the world to accelerate
software development. That is also true for malicious actors and
malicious state to malicious parties where they can actually use
AI to craft more than farious malware ransomware campaigns and

(15:15):
they can hyper target it to you.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
That is the ebmaphore of technology.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Though technology is technology, is how we actually use it
and us defenders have to actually use it and apply
it to get more benefits than attackers who using apply it.
I am optimistic about this, just to be clear, but
it is a neutral thing. We have to both use
it and we have to apply it, and we have
to make it broadly available and accessible.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Is hacking more sophisticated now or just more people doing
it now? Because and the reason why I ask you
that I think it's like when you buy a certain car,
you start to see it on the street all the
time because you have that car. Now, so as I
watch the news all the time as a layman, I'm
seeing that, well, my bank just got hacked, my phone
company got hacked, my health insurance got hacked, and I
know what's in the news a lot. Is it happening

(15:59):
more often or people get more sophisticated.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
There's three different dynamics.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
One, you actually just have more reporting, more disclosion, which
is actually happening along the way. So that's you know,
when you start measuring stuff and we have compliance regimes
that require you to report stuff.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Turns out this is triply. This is also true for crime.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Like you want to see a crime spike, you actually
say you have to start measuring.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
The standardized way so we know this throughout his history.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
The more you actually sort of like structure measurement, you
actually see more. The second thing is it's actually easier
to actually get started in hacking now. I would say
average defenses are going up, so it's tougher to compromise
people that have security. But keep in mind, this is
a great divide. There's a big divide between the haves
and haves not in the security world. And because of

(16:44):
that divide between the haves and have nots of the
security world, that that creates more exposure to more vulnerable
systems and population. So you have local municipalities that get
hacked or popped or something else like that.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
So those things really really matter. So that's the.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Second aspect that I would actually put in there.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
The third one is.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Hacking has actually grown its share of tools usage in
the world. Like, when you were a criminal, you used
to have to use physical things. Why if you're a
criminal today, why would I go to a physical attack
when I can actually do a virtual one. Criminals don't
want to get hurt either. When you're a government, why
would I actually put troops on someone else's soil? It's

(17:28):
still something when I can actually stay comfortable in my
country and do it. So it's also just become the
preferred way to actually engage in espionage and veft and
all these different things.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. Well, listen, I'd
love to hear a great story, and I imagine over
the seventeen years there have been some amazing stories with clients.
You don't have to mention them by name. But this
is one of the fun questions I get to ask
this series about. This is why we get up every
day and I work hard with my team. Is there
something special that happened with a client that really worked
out really well? You said, you know what, we knocked
it out of the park. This is why we get

(18:01):
up every day. Can you share something with us?

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah? Every day.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
So one of the things we do is we have
a we have a managed detection response and we have
a security operation setup that monitors the environment for thousands
of customers around the world about too good sources. One
of them, there was a nation state attacker that was
attacking not in industrials, will call them in industrials, a

(18:26):
global industrials company, and our team identified the attack. They
actually traced it back, they blocked them from getting in.
What made the story great was it was the start
of a campaign wow. And so we took what was
happening in that attack and we actually communicated across our
entire install base to protect every customer from that attack

(18:48):
going forward. And then we also notified the some of
the threat sharing groups that we were part of about
the attach. The thing about that is that typically when
these campaigns they get going, they build up momentum as
they actually go. And while it was successful, we were
able to protect our customers, but most importantly, we were
able to limit the impacts and the reach of that campaign. Now,

(19:11):
this is never any battle, but that's actually you know,
that is one that I love.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
You know. The second piece that.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
I'll actually talk about is we have a large I
would just say technology. I'm always careful about how to
describe it. A large one of the top technology companies
in the world that are constantly under attack and they
have to actually manage their exposure because it is it

(19:43):
is really they do not have days and weeks to
actually do what they have moments and hours, and they
leverage our technology to one track their tax surface on
a real time basis. What's every piece of technology, what's
the configuration, what's the vulnerability gap, what's the configuration.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Gap, what's the compliance gap?

Speaker 1 (19:59):
And we actually demonstrated that we can actually minimize their
time to exposure by orders of magnitude about whether bersus
what they were able to previously do. Those are two
examples I give that actually really excite me about the
potential And you know, in one case, it's about how
we scale sort of like identifying attack group of cross
In the other case, it's about how do we actually

(20:19):
minimize the time of exposure in an organization that is
a primary target of almost every government around the world.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
Well, it's just absolutely fascinating.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
I have one more layman question for you as you
were talking about that, and I've always been curious about that.
Tell me what you can here. But when it comes
to an attacker and you've blocked the attack and you
find out who they are, it's important to follow up
with authorities, whether it's domestic or in another country or
does that not matter at that point that you've just
blocked them and you've done your jobs. How is there
any follow up when somebody attacks?

Speaker 2 (20:50):
You know, it really depends.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
So look, there's so many attacks, but lots of time,
it's just not worth our thoughts because they're known attacks. Yeah,
if we see known unique camp pines against existing Matrix
threat actors, against new threat actors, then yes we should
we need to. We do share that knowledge and that information.
But again, it really is one of those things that
it depends on is it new, is it known, is

(21:15):
it novel? Who's actually doing it. So there's lots of
attacks that we just stop understood, definite clear understood. But
there are categories of attacks and research groups and threat
groups that are research team tracks and for those as
we're tracking a research group or a threat group, then
absolutely it does make sense.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Well as you can tell, I'm absolutely fascinated by it.
I want to put a pin in work just for
a second, if we could, Corey and ask you about
philanthropic and charity work. I know you are very very busy,
but whether it's with work or with your home and
your family, and it comes to charity and philanthropic, what
do you like to be a part of.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
I like to be so our family and it's all
talking about work. At work, we're all about how do
we actually make it where two missions one as many
organizations can gets security as possible.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
So we always think about like how.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Do we actually secure organizations that don't have the resource
and capability, So we have programs around that and we
try to support and work with community hospitals and other
stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
That's what a big passion of ours.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
We created this initiative Massachusetts to work to secure municipalities
so that they were actually secure and that was affordable.
So that's a big passion are. The second big passioner
at work is workforce development and how do we make
sure that fields and cybersecurity are available to everyone. The
thing I love about cyber security is that cybersecurity is

(22:34):
one of those fields that, like what you do matters
more than where you went to schools, grew up to, Like,
you know, the hacker mentality and mindset of what did
you do, what did you create, how did you contribute
to open source? All these different things matters, and we
want people to know about that and be available. So
we support a number of different things that encourage students,

(22:55):
that encourage people that don't have it to actually get
engaged and then turn that into a career.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
So those are the two things that work.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
In my personal life, I am really about like how
do you actually make the American dream come true? So
like how do we actually because you know, I do
worry that there's a lack of belief that it's actually
possible for people to actually work hard and have it.
I think that's a belief thing that we have to target.
But then for those of us that have been blessed,
we have to be investing back in our local communities

(23:22):
and help people see that that dream can be realized.
And so that's a big passion. Economic environment and then health.
You know, my family has had lots of health issues
across our family, and we have there's wonderful doctors who
work really really hard to do lots of things, but
our medical system doesn't always deliver the best experience to people,

(23:49):
and so so we try to work to actually make
that a better experience for as many people as possible,
and we try to do it in the existing health infrastructure.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Well, I like that you're paying at thanks for sharing
all that I did tease leadership. And you and I
are sports guys, and you know something that my wife
and I have joked about over the last twenty seven
years that we've been together. She's on the sales side,
I'm on the programming side. So heads budded early. But
then when we started speaking our own languages and shared
them and swapped them, we realize there are a lot
of similarities between what we do when it comes to leadership,

(24:22):
whether you know being a sports fan or when you
talking to your team about honor and duty and leading
from above and trusting your people. When I talk about
leadership and how you use it, Corey, what does it
mean to you?

Speaker 2 (24:36):
At the end of the day.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
When I think about leadership, it is about how do
you actually bring a group of people together to be
more than they could be.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
It's just a collection of individuals.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, how do they actually and there's a couple attributes. One,
how do they believe in something larger than themselves? How
do they achieve something that is an or magnitude more
impactful than the number of people that are engaged?

Speaker 2 (25:03):
And then the other aspect of leadership is how do
we actually play it forward. There's many different tools that
we actually use, but at.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
The end of the day is that ken we have
the widest set of people from different backgrounds come together
and believe something bigger together and achieve something bigger together.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
That's really well said.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
And for all the sports fans out there, if Corey
centered like a sports coach, that exactly how they talk
to folks. And that's where I said there's similarities in
the business world to sports world. It's all the same
message about bringing everybody together, believing in the message, executing
and being better than any think you are. And I
think it's wonderful. Thanks for sharing that well, Corey, I
wanted to do this. I really enjoyed the conversation, but

(25:42):
I want to get some final thoughts. I also want
you to give the website and if you're hiring, I
know some people like to work for the best of
the best companies out there, so you can talk about that.
But just some final thoughts from you. The floor is yours, sir.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Well what I just want to thank you so much
for actually taking the time. The website's www. Dot rapid,
A seven sevens and number seven dot com.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
We would love to hear from you.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
We're both hiring, We're always hiring, and we want to
actually build partnerships. You know, you and I talked a
little bit about this earlier, but like our etails as
a company is that we partner with our customers and
we're always working to do a better job.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
We know that there's things that we.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Can help our customers with, but we also have this
never done mentality that we have to continue to evolve
so that we actually are helping our customers tackle the
next set of challenges as they go forward, because the
challenges always change in cybersecurity.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
And again, I just want to thank you so much
for your time.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Well, it's our pleasure, Corey.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Thank you so much and we really were very excited
to have you on CEOs. You should know continued success
and thank you so much for your time.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Thank you so much,
