So CCS, I it really speaks to how thought how much thought leadership has been in the city for so long on matters like protecting critical infrastructure against cyberattacks, the threats against municipalities, state, local entities, even federal sector continues to be on the rise even since 2017 since the inception of Cyber Command.

The announcement of the joint Security Operation Center is really just a a a a doubling down of an expansion of the CCSI initiative bringing together all of those partnerships that I mentioned earlier in addition to expanding our footprint of those partnerships to ensure that we have the collective good in mind as it relates to sharing cyber threat intelligence information.

And we've even gone so far and especially over the last couple of years to continue to focus heavily on joint public private sector tabletop exercises as well.
1:11:53
Making sure that we have a keen eye towards that.
