Mike Matchett: So so so I'm thinking, you know, the network's getting stronger and bigger, but really, that's only helping the bots get bigger and stronger as well, right? The compute devices, the things people can rent in the cloud, the size of things they can get for a penny and a cloud service, allow them to do these tremendously large attacks. Uh, I notice you don't have a forecast here for 2024, but that bar is exponential. Where do you think 2024 is going to be? Just between you and me? Omer Yoachimik: So, um, so here's the thing. We don't want to see that number go up. I mean, personally, and I think Mike would agree. I'd love to see that number grow up because, uh, go go up, not grow up. Because I think that would be, uh, you know, awesome insights to share with the community in our blogs. And our readers always love that, those types of technical blogs explaining about it. But, um, one of the things that we implemented, um, as part of that kind of campaign that struck all the cloud providers and, uh, Q3 of 2023, um, uh, that DDoS campaign, I mean, um, one of the things that we implemented is a, uh, smarter and more cost efficient mitigation. So at certain, um, uh, um, sizes or rates per second, our mitigation systems would automatically drop the mitigation from layer seven from http uh to layer five, six, uh, and layer four, uh, depending on the size, um, and the consumption, uh, you know, if we have, uh, kolos heating up, uh, we don't want that. So that means that we might not see these larger attacks just because we're mitigating them, uh, by just dropping the packets instead of serving block pages.
