[00:35:12] S1: Yeah. Okay. You know, a lot of startups are building on open models, open source infra. We touched on this a bit last week when we had Wiz on. A decent amount of them don't have dedicated security teams. I just wanna get your quick take on this before we close out. How can small startups protect themselves now? Like, what are they underestimating perhaps about the current threat landscape? [00:35:29] S2: It's understandable to to not already be prepared with security teams, even having some level of, familiarity with open resources. My team's working on putting together a plan in the next few weeks. I wish we had it out sooner, but in the meantime, there are really great cybersecurity startups like Semgrep that have open... Openly available documentation. So scale up on the resources available to you. This is the beauty of of an open Internet. And it's okay. It's okay to lean on what's easy for you, but it's on us and the open community to lower the barrier for folks to use cyber defense tools that they can rely on. [00:36:10] S1: Okay. Great. Well, hey. I think with that, we are out of time. Where can our listeners find you, connect with your work online if they wanna, you know, drop in, say hi, slide in your DMs?
