Talk to me about why that is such a big deal and why it is making companies start their transition right now, even though those quantum computers don't exist yet today.
7:00
That's a very good question.
7:01
I think the main problem is that people don't realize that data life can vary.
7:08
So there's data which doesn't have any value after it's used.
7:14
And then there's data which can be still valuable after 70 years from now.
7:18
So data life differs, varies a lot.
7:23
And if, for example, the health data or the census data or something like that, there are government mandates that such data should be kept secure for many, many years, 70 years, I believe, in case of since data.

I wanted to talk to you about what does the transition look like? I mean, I know that Gigamon already has a solution here, and this isn't a commercial, but I wanted to talk to you about when you are talking with customers, what is your recommendations to the tech professionals, the practitioners that you're talking to, about PQC?
