Could you give our listeners a quick introduction to the current shape of the cybersecurity landscape?
1:04
Yes, thanks, Isabel.
1:05
After a difficult 2025 when we had major cyberattacks on retailers and one major automotive manufacturer, this year has taken a turn down the route of AI agents and the fallout from agentic attacks by, first of all, Anthropic with its Mythos model, which caused worries for the banking sector.
1:23
Now, as if emboldened by Anthropic's success in hitting the headlines for its model, if success is the word, now we see OpenAI launching an unprompted attack on Hugging Face.
1:34
It is highly likely that agentic AI will dominate the cybersecurity agenda for the rest of this year.
1:40
Agentic AI amplifies existing cybersecurity risks while also introducing new ones.
1:47
Unlike ransomware attacks, which are relatively well understood in their attack route, agentic AI technologies are unfamiliar and compromised agentic AI tools can be l- used to launch cyberattacks, even ransomware attacks, at a scale that no human threat actors can match.

David, can you explain more about this, um, and what does it involve?
31:57
So how did that sort of pan out in terms of shaping the business, which has obviously continued, as you say, until very recently under your stewardship to be successful?
32:06
what I learnt about dealing with people and the nursing period and being respectful of everyone.
32:13
Because the wine industry, it can be pretty brutal and pretty hard on people.
32:18
It kind of can step all over people's feelings sometimes.
32:22
And I've been able to bring that respect for individuals in, even though they're different, and give them the opportunity.
32:31
And that's one of the things that, you know, The number of people who work there and who are well-trained and have gone on and had great careers in winemaking.
32:41
I love that part.

and i think chardonnay in general and i think pinot noir as well has you know i mean everyone acknowledges it's a really tricky grape to get right perhaps it's lagging chardonnay in that regard because it's harder and maybe there are fewer places that can manage it but you've obviously had a lot to do with experimenting in that regard and i know pinot massif for you and your friends has been a hugely proud kind of history because of the I guess the chance that you're throwing in the mix and the vulnerability a little bit in there too, but the collaboration and the sense that you're all in it together and it's really worth it, right? So tell me a little bit about Pinot Noir and the Pinot Massif experience.
