Peter HighHOST
Talk a bit about the team you lead, Gus, and how it reflects the various responsibilities you've described.

Gus ShaheenGUEST
So obviously I have the CIO of the company, so they're responsible for enterprise applications as well as the infrastructure and networking, uh, which is your, your typical CIO role.

Gus ShaheenGUEST
Uh, I also have the global security team, and the reason we have them separated here is they not only do cyber and keep NetApp protected, NetApp and its employees, but they also oversee product security.

Gus ShaheenGUEST
Uh, you know, our products are both hardware and software, so we have a lot of software that goes into our hardware.

Gus ShaheenGUEST
And, uh, there was a decision made by the board, uh, and we were obviously staying with it 'cause it's the right decision, to kinda have a separate entity oversee, you know, the software, uh, life cycle and make sure that, you know, we're overseeing the product security so we're not shipping product with vulnerabilities, right? So I own that team as well.

Gus ShaheenGUEST
And then on the operations side, I kinda split them into three functions really.
