We do talk about budget and say we’ve got limited resources. So, we don’t want to continue to go down a path where we push technology to be fully customized to match the processes we’re performing today.

So if you’re going to go after a project that’s a high-dollar project, that you project to gain, and then it needs to be measured. Otherwise, we’re not sure if we’re going to get there, and then we might be missing an opportunity that we should be taking advant Government security operations centers and incident response teams are long past the point of hoping to keep pace with cyberthreats by relying on traditional processes for detecting, analyzing and responding to threats.
