mono from حلوة err رزية وصناه تسبيل من المتطلعسر of الله تسبيل المتمتع رغم정ت تسبيل يجب أن يتبقى المساعدة من الله سبحانه وتعالى ومساعدة ومساعدة المساعدة من الله سبحانه وتعالى لم يتبقى أي شيء ولكن أنه يدرسه إذا كان شيء لم يدرسه في القرآن كان يدرسه في حديثه و هذا الشخص الذي يدرسه هو لنا في all times of our lives as children, as teenagers, as adults as the elderly on our deathbeds this guide is there for us every second of our lives there's nothing else that we need nothing new that's going to come everything that needs to be addressed about human character and about the human state and about our society has already been addressed the only thing that we have to do is open that book, the Quran and open up the Seera and the Hadith and the Sunnah the Messenger of Allah SAW open it up and accept it and accept it full heartedly and submit to it and submit to it brothers and sisters we have to submit to it we have to submit our intellects we have to submit our experiences and put everything aside and make the guiding factor the judge, the Quran and the Sunnah, the Messenger of Allah SAW why is it that Allah SAW refers to the Messenger of Allah SAW in Surah Al-Isra as a slave سبحان الذي أصراب عبده ليلة Glory be to the one who took his slave and took him on the night journey the Abd is the one who is in complete submission to Allah SAW he put aside his own feelings and made the Quran his deciding factor and so he became truly a slave of Allah SAW we can never be like him our whole life is going to be an attempt to be like him and to come into this this servanthood and to become true slaves of Allah SAW how do we do that we have to work towards making the Quran and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah SAW the deciding factor in our lives at every point regardless of the situation we are watching horrendous things happen on the news to our dear brothers and sisters all around the world how do we deal with that we all feel confused we all feel confused and we all feel helpless and we all feel shame we are ashamed of ourselves in front of Allah SAW for our personal states and for what we have let our societies go to it's not a problem on the other side of the world brothers and sisters we are one Ummah we feel the pain of the other side of the Ummah and we also take responsibility for what's happening on the other side of the Ummah and we're confused we don't know what to do and we can only ask Allah SAW to guide us but the first stage that we can that we have to take in trying to address the issues of the Ummah is in addressing our own personal issues and we start with our hearts and we ask are our hearts in submission to Allah SAW and in submission to following the messenger of Allah SAW Allah SAW He's saying to Muhammad SAW to the blessed messenger of Allah SAW إن كنتم تحبون الله say telling the Prophet SAW tell the Sahaba tell the people do you love Allah say do you love Allah do you really love Allah and this is a question that many people ask themselves Muslims or non Muslims I believe in the Creator but do I love Him and many people will feel in their hearts yes I love Allah I love God I love God I love the Creator whatever it is that you want to call Him I love Him and Allah is giving them the test do you really love Him and Allah is giving them the test follow me follow the messenger of Allah Muhammad SAW who when we say his name SAW we are praising him even when the enemies of Islam say his name they are saying the praised one Muhammad the often praised one even when they try to criticize him if you translate it into your language into our language English they are saying oh and the praised one the often the one who is praised a lot did this and this and this so even in their criticisms of him even in their attacks of him they are forced to praise him and they are forced to recognize that he is the praised one this is Muhammad SAW we have to follow him and then Allah will love you so that is the deciding factor how do we know if we love Allah how much are we following the messenger of Allah SAW that is the deciding factor and what is this following of the messenger of Allah SAW is it merely an outward following is it doing things that he did just to be like photocopies of him outwardly if we look at the messenger of Allah SAW he had a beard there is many people there is many Muslims that had a beard he wore a turban SAW and he encouraged us to wear a turban but there is other people that wear a turban in fact they get in trouble sometimes because people misidentify them as being Muslims because of their turbans and he had a sunnah and a way of living and we can go on and on in many other examples is that what makes us a follower of the messenger of Allah SAW by following him outwardly it is very important for us that we look at our communities and we look at our societies or even when we look at our homes to look at Medina the blessed city of the messenger of Allah SAW who according to which according to Imam Malik is greater in its fadin than Mecca and I know that comes as a shock to many people many of the علماء Imam Ashafri and Abu Hanifa and many of the other scholars they said that Mecca was more virtuous and Imam Malik has many proofs showing that Medina is actually greater whichever one it is that is not a point of debate but it is to show you that Imam Malik considered Medina to be better because it was the Prophet SAW he who made it better Mecca and this is one of the hikmas of the hijab of the immigration because Allah wanted to show the people he is not special SAW because of the city that he is in and remember Mecca was at the seat of Arabia all of the Arabs recognized the Ka'bah even the Jews and the Christians recognized the blessedness of that city of that valley because of that house that was built by Ibrahim SAW so if he had stayed there SAW people would think oh he is special because of that city there was already a specialness about it so Allah SAW in his infinite wisdom took the messenger of Allah SAW and put him in Medina and showed people look it's not the city that makes him special he makes the city special look at Medina by taking him out and showing him Medina before that had a name that we shouldn't even mention that we shouldn't even name the Prophet SAW said don't mention the whole name now it's called the Medina the city and it has many other names and Habiba and Taiba and Ka'bah and that's why some people don't even like referring to other cities as the city we know in our culture people refer to San Francisco as the city I would encourage us to not use that because if you translate the city into Arabic what does it become? that's not the Medina the Medina is in the Hijaz it's the city because the Prophet SAW this is a special prophet that Allah sent to us and how do we follow him? we look at his city Medina we look at the society we find people in that society that were following him outwardly to a certain extent they're called the hypocrites they went to the Masjid his sunnah was to go to the Masjid they prayed they went to the Masjid they fasted he said they give zakat he said they prayed in the Masjid but the last of the Masjid they were last to get there they never caught the opening takbir they prayed like they were bored and sick of what they had to do but they did it they had a following so is that the deciding factor? follow me, follow the messenger is that considered following? because what's the difference? the difference between the منافق and the believer is that one we believe him to be the messenger of Allah so we have to believe we know he's the messenger of Allah and he was sent with the final message we don't have any doubt about it like the منافق and secondly we love him SAW we love him and we should love him more than we love our children and more than we love our parents and more than we love ourselves it's easy to say it's easy to say that but it's a life journey to try to achieve that and as an example عمار قطاب رضي الله عنه said one time to the messenger of Allah SAW yes I love you more than I love myself and the Prophet SAW said no عمار not yet عمار thought and he reflected he recalibrated inside and then he said now I do and the Prophet SAW now you do that was عمار it was natural for him to love the messenger of Allah SAW to that degree he had to work on it and similarly we have to work on it we have to learn to love the messenger of Allah SAW people fall in love and they fall out of love it's not a given love is not a given you can love your siblings as you grow up with them and we know in society sometimes some of the worst enemies are siblings you can love your people and then a civil war happens and then they become your worst enemies people fall in love with their countrymen and their family and so forth and then they fall out of love it's an emotion that goes up and down and so we have to train it we have to train ourselves to love the messenger of Allah SAW that's why the messenger of Allah SAW said in حديث أدبوا أولادكم على ثلاث إقصال حب نبيكم وحب أهلي بيته وقراءة القرآن he's guiding us كما قال the messenger of Allah SAW said train your children to have three qualities love of the messenger love of the ear prophet and love of his family and reciting the Quran now many of us put our children in schools or in Sunday schools to memorize the Quran to learn the Quran and we put them through a program and there's a curriculum for that and there's a teacher and there's training for that but that's number three in what was mentioned where do we have in our homes and in our schools and in our societies a way to teach our children to love the messenger of Allah SAW now love is not a science that you punch in an equation and you get an effect that's why you see in the Quran you go to a Quran teacher he says if you do this this and this you'll get this result sometimes the child is different you have to change a little bit but generally it's more of a science than love love is it's more of an art but we have to do something the prophet SAW said train them give them give them ever to love your prophet now when he said our children we shouldn't just think it's just our children it's also ourselves because until we fully matured spiritually we're like children even if you're 50, 60, 70 years old that's why some of the علماء when they write books they said I wrote this book for children and those like children what does that mean that means the people that are physically and chronologically children and then those people who chronologically and physically they're adults but inside developmentally spiritually, emotionally they're like children we have to raise up the child like nature in ourselves so we have to train ourselves train our child like selves to love the messenger of Allah SAW how do we do that that's there's a lot of methods for that time-tested methods sometimes it's just it's just a gift from Allah SAW when you see some children that they have an intense love for the messenger of Allah SAW and they'll cry as children when they hear poetry about him and they'll love to hear stories about him and that was just a gift that Allah gave that special children may Allah SAW give that gift to all of our children and to all of us but then other children need guidance and they need stories one of the methods is to bring the seerah to life we have to be telling the seerah to our children in our car rides as bedtime stories one of the greatest scholars in the muslim history his name is CD Ahmed Zarruq and if you're not familiar with his name it's very important to understand who he is in our tradition because he was one of the scholars that joined between the science of and the science of Tasawwuf the science of purification of the heart and the science of the outward legal rulings many people go to one extreme on one way or the other and he was able to master both sciences both subjects and be able to tell the poqaha the jurists what you're doing here here and here is wrong and be able to tell the Sufiya what you're doing here here and here is not in accordance with the Quran Sunnah because the true people of Tasawwuf according to Imam Junaid are the ones who follow the Quran Sunnah that's all it is whether you want to call it Tasawwuf or another name it's following the Quran Sunnah Imam Junaid who's the Imam of the science of purification of the heart said whatever is mentioned by the people of the Sufiya that's not in accordance with the Quran Sunnah then rejected it's not from this path CD Ahmed Zarruq was able to revive that and to bring people back to the Quran Sunnah and not all of the the innovations that were that were placed in CD Ahmed Zarruq was orphaned as a child and he was raised by his grandmother so the person who gave him Tarbiyah was his grandmother one of the things that she did is she trained him to have Tawequr على الله to depend on Allah سبحانه وتعالى how would she do that they were poor and they lived in Fass in one of the greatest cities of the Ummah in Morocco and she would hide food in the house and then she would say Ahmed let's make dua and they would make dua for food and they said now let's look for the food and they would go around in the house and look for the food and then he would finally say Allah answered our dua she was training him how to to depend on Allah سبحانه وتعالى another thing that she did that instead of telling her child I mean her grandchild CD Ahmed Zarruq stories, fairy tales and those type of things that other people tell to their children and at bedtime during the day she would tell stories of the prophets of the prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم his Seerah and of the prophets and of the Awliya and of the friends of Allah سبحانه وتعالى training him to have his love and look who he is in our history he was he renewed a lot for both in the science of fifth and in the science of Tasaww and it came from his grandmother teaching him how to love the message of Allah and those that came after him and those that came before him the prophets so we have to bring the Seerah to life we have to know who our messenger is صلى الله عليه وسلم the way he looked if you look at children or if you look at people who follow a singer or a musician or a sports player or a basketball they want to know what's his favorite food what was his hobby what does he like to do on this time when he's not in the season and all of those they want to know do we know the details of the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم do we know the details of how he slept of how he looked of how he ate of how he dressed this is in the science of the Shama'il if you don't in your house have the book called the Shama'il of Imam in Termadi you have to get it you have to get it it's available in English it's available in Arabic it's available in Urdu there's many translations of it get it read it with with a scholar or with a teacher and bring it to life for your children so that they know more about him oh he like to eat this food this is how he drink this is how he walked this is how he slept and the more you know him the more you love him because how can we love something that we don't know just think about a situation say there was a a catastrophe on the other side of the earth if you just heard about it there's a catastrophe in this land there was a tsunami and a lot of people got hurt okay I feel sorry and I wish I could help them but once you start learning more about it and you see pictures and you hear detailed accounts and you hear people's personal experiences from that it becomes real and live for you and now you're emotionally attached the same thing with the messenger of Allah as long as his name is just in our homes as on a picture on the wall and we mention him every once in a while it's not real for our children and for ourselves we have to bring him to life in mentioning his qualities and his شمال that's another way and I'll also mention the شفاء of Qada Giyaw if you don't have that book it's very important to get that because it's a شفاء knowing the true حقوق what we owe to the messenger of Allah the reason why it's especially important in our day and age is the same reason that at certain points in the Seerah it was important is because we have people attacking his character صلى الله عليه وسلم in Mecca they called him all of those names we know them we read them in the Quran and Allah rejects them he said you're not Majnun you're not crazy you're not bewitched you're not a poet he rejects all of this propaganda that Quraish was putting out there and they would put it out with musicians they would put this criticism to music and put the musicians out on the pathways leading to his classes and they would try to distract people by giving all this false information about the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم how different does that sound with what we're experiencing and in this day and age especially for our children and especially if they're in public schools and they're the minority as they're growing up they're the minority in their schools they're the minority amongst their frames they're the minority on their sports team what do you think they're going to be hearing they're going to be hearing a lot of the Quraishi insults just in a different form they're going to be hearing these things and then as they grow up then they start doubting him because as people pull them away from the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم you don't have to give them all that respect he was a man in history just like other men in history no he wasn't we don't believe that but as they pull him down from his high مقان and make him more and more just a historical figure that could have made mistakes that was just a man then now they're they're opening those people up for doubting the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and I'll end this first quba to remind us of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq رضي الله عنه who on the day after إسلام و المعراج he was outside of the city so as Quraish we're putting up their new set of propaganda new set of propaganda oh he said this that's totally irrational it's irrational but we don't look at the rational we submit our intellect because we believe he's the messenger of Allah we define what's truth by him not by our intellects the people that have not submitted their intellects cannot understand they have not submitted their intellects cannot accept him as being the messenger of Allah but let's look at a person who submitted his intellect so much so that if you took half of the ummah his faith would be stronger than theirs the Quraish were putting out their propaganda in Mecca this is a false story how could he have gone to Jerusalem in one night how could he have gone to the heavens and come back all in one night and then some of the believers started being shaken and we have people today in our society in our communities maybe in this message that are being shaken by the propaganda out there by the news by the videos by the movies by the books by the songs by the raps by the stars same things against the messenger of Allah same practices they came to Abu Bakr he didn't even think twice he didn't even flinch what did he say in if he said it he's telling the truth that's all I need to know you don't need to give me any details you don't need to give me your commentary on what happened if he said it it's the truth that should be our motto if he said it it's the truth and we need to raise our children especially in this society to have that as their motto if he said it it's the truth because not every one of us are going to become scholars and the truth is that on the other side of the people that are attacking Islam they have scholars they have people they have people that know our religion better than many of us know our religion they know hadith they know Quran they know Tafseed they know Fiqh and they'll pull different things out and present it to the average Muslim and say see how can this be true how can this hadith be true can you really believe a man who said this think about your intellect you're an American you're a Britain you're a British you're an Australian you're modern can you believe this the first response we should say just train it in Qadahu فقد صدق train your children train yourselves in Qadahu فقد صدق I don't know what it means and I'll have to go back and ask my scholars but I'm just giving you the first if he said it it's true Abu Bakr al-Sadif says that stop them right in their path if he said it it's true but now let me explain it to you you're amazed that he can't make this trip in one night from Jerusalem to here to back to Mecca in one night and I believe that he gets revelation from above seven heavens in one instant I already believed that from before so how would it be hard for me to believe this so he had a rational response for them so we do have to have our rational responses to put out but we have to have the Abu Bakr al-Sadif methodology where it's in Qadahu فقد صدق if we truly love him we'll say whatever he said is true now let's try to figure it out and we ask Allah to give us to beat and to give us the steadfastness that he gave to Abu Bakr al-Sadif and to all of the صحابة رضي الله عنه أجمعين and to give us حب نبيه and to give us love of his prophet and love of his family عليه الصلاة والسلام بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وصلاة والسلام وعلى رسوله الكريم وعلى آله وأصحابه أجمعين ما بعرف يا عباد الله اتفوا الله اتفوا الله فاقوا تقاته ولا تموتنا لله وانت مسلمون سبوا إلى الله تولة المصوحة I enjoy you and I enjoy myself after beginning in the name of Allah and sending praises and praising him الله سبحانه وتعالى and sending blessings and prayers upon his prophet محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم I enjoy you and I enjoy myself to have taqwa of Allah and to fear Allah outwardly and inwardly to fulfill all of his commands and to avoid all of his prohibitions The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم told us taught us encouraged us ordered us to train our children to love him and then what's the second thing he mentioned about Hadid وحب أهلي بيته and to love his other bait to love his family now we could go on and speak about the love of his family and what that means and how our love for him will never be complete until we love the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم's family but I want us to take one lesson from the way people treated the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم's family and have it clear up some confusion for us because I know a lot of us and I'm saying this for me first and foremost feeling confused and helpless because of what's going on in the world and because what we see people doing to our brothers and sisters and because what we see them doing to the children we feel confused we feel helpless and we might even ask ourselves a very dangerous question that we all have to be careful about why why why did this happen why does this happen why do good things bad things happen to good people this question is a question that leads many people and I've talked with them I spoke with somebody last week who told me he left faith because he asked this question he said I can't believe in God anymore he was a Vietnam vet he said I saw what happened in Vietnam I don't need to explain to you what he has seen the horrors of war he said I've seen that I can't believe in God if there was a God why did he let that happen


more straightforward and more user-friendly. That's a never-ending story. I am trying to continue to explore some of the places where we can interject good information into the publishing process. So the things I'm doing inside of Cycrunch now include automating some of the ways that the editors interact with authors about RIDs. I'm trying to create text mining tools that would do some of this work automatically. We're having a little bit of success and a little bit of not-success. Once those tools are ready, we will go to journals and say, hey, would you like to save time? We're trying to find information about bad antibodies. We're trying to find information about bad cell lines and incomplete knockout animals and all of these other things. We're trying to enrich the data set that we have about these different kinds of things. We're trying to go out and find all the papers that have used a particular mouse, a particular antibody, a particular cell line, and we're trying to bring them together into an umbrella. Have we succeeded? No. But we're moving forward. We're definitely moving forward. So with cell lines, we do a pretty good job and it's because we're not doing it. It's the ICLAC consortium that actually does it. But we want to do the same thing for antibodies. We want to do some of the same things for some of the organisms and some of the organism repositories do a really good job at this and some don't. So we want to fill the gap where those organizations are not doing that particular work. So again, we think with the identifiers that get published out in papers, this part becomes easier. But there's a lot of work to be done in this space and what we wanna do is we really wanna make this part of science better. We want to mainly make sure that the authors that are really trying to do a good job here, they get recognized. They have better statistics on their papers and I would love to be able to institute a score that instead of the impact factor, you would have a how good is my research factor, right? How solid are these conclusions factor? It would be a little bit different. It's what I would like to see is how good is my science factor. Impact factor for me is something that means I'm popular. It's nice to be popular but as scientists, we shouldn't strive for popularity, right? We should strive for better science. And so I would love to be able to create an impact factor but for good science instead of popularity.


Okay, I'd like to introduce Jennifer Wirtzell. She's from the ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and the title of Jennifer's presentation tonight is Reading the Rain in Rocks.  It's a familiar old rhyme, right? You probably remember singing it as a kid, your face pressed against the window, longing to go outside and play. But what if the rain did go away? For days, weeks, how about years? Decades. We know just from weather records of the last century that there have been times when the rains haven't come to places like India, China, Australia, just the last decade. Drought has led to water restrictions, famine, and in some countries loss of life. It's therefore useful to understand how rainfall patterns have changed in the past so that we can improve predictions of future rainfall. And that is why I study paleo-climatology. You might think of me as a climate historian. My job is to interpret the information held in archives in the natural environment so that I can learn how climate has changed before there were rainfall records. It might surprise you to learn that some of the best rainfall archives are actually stored underground. When it rains, the water trickles through the soil, and sometimes it hits a particular, though not uncommon type of rock called limestone. The water seeps through cracks in limestone, dissolving it as it goes, until it reaches the open space of a cave. And this is where something amazing happens, because as the water drips from the cave ceiling and lands on the cave floor, it actually starts forming rock again, growing and building into the magnificent formations we call stalagmites. And each layer of the stalagmite contains the chemical signature of the rainwater that formed it, allowing me to learn how much rain fell the year that layer grew. The subject of my research comes from a hot, humid, muddy cave on the very wet Indonesian island of Sumatra. My stalagmite, the one behind me, it's only about the length of your arm. But by drilling down the center and measuring the chemistry of these tiny powder samples, I have unearthed 16,000 years of rainfall history, which tells me Sumatra has had its fair share of dry spells, some lasting over 100 years. Together, with more of these incredible cave records from around the world, I can start piecing together global cycles of drought and rainfall in the past. And that is the key to answering the question of whether the rain will go away in the future.


Live from Boston, Massachusetts, it's theCUBE. Covering AWS Reinforce 2019. Brought to you by Amazon Web Services and its ecosystem partners. Live on, welcome back to theCUBE's live coverage in Boston, Massachusetts. Here for two days, AWS Amazon Web Services reinforced their inaugural conference around security. I'm John Furrier, Dave Vellante, our next guest, Andy Miller, Senior Director, Global Public Cloud at Sophos. Based out of the UK and here in Burlington, Massachusetts. Welcome to theCUBE. Thank you. Looking good, love that jacket, nice color on you. They got the memo? They got the memo jacket. Thanks for having me, it's great to be here, it's great to be a part of AWS's first security event, security focused event. Not by coincidence, you know, happening right here where our US headquarters is, we're very excited to be a part of it. Wanted to share with you guys, I brought you a little gift. That's awesome, definitely a part of our socks. Okay, I'll wear in them tomorrow, so we'll do a little close up on that. Thank you very much. Stu Miniman will love this, he loves socks. He'll have to replace his Star Wars socks for those. Thank you, Andy. Andy, thanks. So I want to get your impression of the show, obviously an inaugural event, and it's interesting, you look at Amazon, we've been covering Amazon for eight years with theCUBE prior to that, just as a company. Love the company, we've obviously success of Clouds, no brainer, but Reinvent is their name of their global conference on the commercial side for all their customers, and everything else they call summits. This is not a summit, this is not an Amazon, what's a summit, this is a branded event with the word Reinvent, but Reinforce, so it kind of gives that a call out. Good call from on their front, is it needed? Why is this show so important? What's your opinion on that? I think it absolutely is, it's very helpful to customers to help them to understand their responsibilities when it comes to security in the cloud, and just like Reinvent was essentially reinventing the network into a digital environment, this is reinforcing their environment, understanding what their responsibilities are, where the cloud provider's very secure infrastructure ends and where their responsibilities with applications and data that resides in the cloud starts. What is your data show in terms of the evolving threat landscape? I mean, there's one school of thoughts, there's, okay, security in the cloud actually, well, it was a concern early on, people say, oh, it's better. That maybe raises the bar, and it lowers the ROI for the bad guys, but what are you seeing? But at the same time, it's more global and distributed, which sort of opens up holes. What do you guys need? So what we're seeing is, is that, the cloud's interesting in that there's not necessarily anything that is new or unique from an attack perspective, it's more of an attack surface perspective. And what I mean by that is, is that with an on-premise environment, sometimes controls are very easy to place around new instances, new workloads being stood up, a change control process that is very controlled, key carded data centers and so forth. Cloud accounts will operate very differently, and one of the things that makes the cloud great is the speed at which you can go to market and stand up new resources. That also creates challenges for customers when it comes to visibility and securing those assets. Yeah, I mean, the guy from Liberty Mutual today in the keynote said his number one challenge is just keeping up with Amazon, the pace of change. I mean, you're seeing that in your client base and how are they dealing with it? Absolutely, one of the conversations that I frequently have with customers when it comes to the visibility and keeping up with Engle is I frequently will say to customers, pull out your cloud bill if you are aware of and know everything that it's on that bill and where it came from, frankly, I'd be very surprised. A lot of them struggle with that, with being able to keep up with that. And it's a, again, a double edged short. It's great as far as a business standpoint and being able to extend your business globally within minutes, but it's also a challenge for them from the security standpoint. And you talk about the challenges that businesses are up against when it comes to cloud security because on-premises has decades of experiences dealing with security, the old days of perimeter-based security, some still do that. Now the perimeter's pretty much gone away with cloud. Cloud native has a different approach. So there seems to be a lot of questions around what to do, what are those challenges and cloud security specifically that businesses face? So you hit the first one, right? The first one is this concept of I build a castle and put a big wall around it and a mode around it, no longer exists, right? The perimeter is a memory. Another one is, as I mentioned before, the speed at which resources are added to the cloud, that's difficult for customers because you can't see it, you can't secure it, right? If you don't know it exists. And then the third thing is really being able to understand how you make security happen within the cloud because those tools that you used on-premise and in your own perimeter don't necessarily exactly translate to the cloud. And it's important to have solutions that are designed for that and that not only work and operate well within the cloud but also don't take away the benefits of the cloud. If you have a solution that's going to slow you down or make it where you can't innovate at the speed of the cloud, you might as well keep it on-prem, you're taking away all the benefit of the cloud. So are you finding, I mean, a lot of times, the early cloud days were a lot of so-called crapplications just going to the cloud, okay, so maybe not as much credit card information so maybe it's not as valuable, but are you seeing people hitting the cloud sort of more today than say certain on-prem environments, is it escalating? What is your data show? So there was a study done not too long ago that showed past and projected cloud growth from 2017 to 2022. And what was interesting was the cloud services revenue growth was expected to grow by double. The cloud security spend was expected to grow by more than three times. And we think that was in large part of customers' understanding their responsibilities in the shared security model but also a product of exactly what you say, crapplications, right? One of our first customers that I think of was a convenience store chain. The very first things they moved, store locator and nutritional information applications. If something went wrong with those, yes, it's not great for your business that they can't find your store but it's not credit card data, it's not personal information, so on and so forth. As businesses start moving, really key to the business applications, ERP systems, things like that with real data that's at risk, that's where their focus on security is real strong. So there's a lot of confusion out there. And as I walk around the show floor here, I see, we secure the cloud, we secure the cloud. No, we secure the cloud. And then here from Amazon, we have a shared responsibility model. We secure the infrastructure. A lot of customers think, hey, Amazon has great security, so does Google, so does Microsoft, I'll put it in the cloud, I'll be good to go. Help us clear up some of that confusion. What's your point of view on that? Yeah, I think that when you look at it, customers were at one point extremely afraid of the cloud. And the cloud providers themselves did a great job of talking about why you could trust their infrastructure. In the process, I think customers have a difficult time understanding where their responsibility begins. And what we always like to say is, is the cloud provider's responsible for the security of the cloud, you, Mr. Customer, are responsible for the security in the cloud. And the reason that's important is, the fact is the cloud providers could potentially provide the security in the cloud, but the measure of control that they would have over the applications that you build, the applications that you deploy, who you give access to, and what you allow them to do would be so great. I don't think it would be a really positive experience. Too many permutations. Because the criticism early on in cloud security wasn't that the security was bad, it was that I couldn't enforce the edicts of my organization. There weren't enough features. And now today it's like, you're drinking from this fire hose of features. So is that really the issue? It's up to you to figure out what works for your organization and then apply it. We heard today you got to opt in for things like encryption. You make sure you opt into each availability zone. So that's an individual customer choice. Amazon provides the tools. Okay, but then where do you pick up? Where does Sophos pick up? That's a great segue. So as an example, our new Sophos Cloud Optics product does a great job with that. For instance, uses the AWS CIS benchmarks. And that is a heavy, heavy document that may be difficult for a customer to ingest, but we can run against all of your workloads, your S3 buckets, and see that you're in compliance with that CIS benchmark policy. That's a great place to start. Maybe you have some compliance regulations that you have to follow that have a security component to it, such as PCI, for example.  They would lead you towards, am I following a good password policy, a good updating policy? Am I sure that my S3 buckets are encrypted and not accessible to the internet without some sort of protection in place? All the same. The evolving cloud security landscape is changing on the threat side. We've got now detection, alerts, all these things are going on. You guys have some data on the cyber criminal activity. Up, down, is it more complex, harder to crack? Is it people cracking it? Certainly we know people who are always trying. You can attack anything. We've seen foreign states enabling these groups out there. You see all kinds of cyber criminals. What's the data, sir? So the data shows, I think the most compelling thing. We did a study that we commissioned earlier this year where we placed workloads in 10 of AWS's most popular data centers around the world. And what we saw was the first attempt to compromise one of those assets took all of 52 seconds. 52 seconds after we launched it, there was an attempt to compromise it. More compelling was the fact that on average, it took some total of 40 minutes was the average time before and an attempt to compromise took place. And on top of that, once the asset was discovered, on average, 13 times every single minute of every single hour of every single day over a 30-day period, someone was attempting to compromise this. We ended up totaling over 5 million attempts to compromise this in a 30-day period on 10 assets. So I think the biggest thing is not so much the techniques, but the level of automation that the bad guys have going on. They know that there are assets out there that are not in a state that they necessarily should be and they are doing their level best to find them as absolute. What makes the cloud so attractive to the cyber criminals? I think the biggest thing is that as customers go from the application into some real applications, they know that there is a lot of data there. They also know that customers are, well, this is a newer platform for them and they may be struggling with understanding exactly what they need to do differently than they did on-prem in order to secure it. So follow up on that. How do you approach cloud security and how is it different than on-prem? So the biggest difference is, can it work within the fabric of the cloud? Is there tight integration with the things that the cloud providers offer? And do you not in any way hamper the great things about the cloud? Scalability, the option to be available in a matter of seconds. If you are hampering that, then that's not security that's really going to work well. It's the whole benefit of the cloud in the first place. So talking about your cloud solution, what's the big problem that you guys solve? So we have several different solutions that are available from a next generation firewall to our host protection. Our newest offering, Sophos Cloud Optics, is really about helping them to gain that visibility, to understand exactly what they have running in the cloud, prevent it, or present a topology map that shows them how it connects, how it communicates both internally and to the outside world, and then to constantly and continuously evaluate where they are in a security posture. So that's visibility into threats, help look at quality alerts. Yep. Okay, so what's the customer orientation right now? Red, yellow, green. It seems to me it's always red, but so we asked someone earlier, what's a good day in security? It's like when we're still in business, you know. It's a lot of pressure. Again, the hacking just shows you that it's easy to attack, certainly seconds to minutes, things are being compromised. It's going to happen on premise as well. What's the state of the union in your view on? I think for customers there is a feeling sometimes, and I think we as security vendors need to be careful about this, of not presenting the world as impossible to secure, because I believe that it is absolutely possible to secure the world. I think there are some things that customers need to do. I think it's difficult for them sometimes to cut through some of the misinformation, the marketing spend and so on and so forth that's out there, but it's really incumbent upon them to look and read through the materials that are provided by the cloud providers to understand where their responsibilities begin and end, and then find the solutions that they've always used on-prem and been successful with that are ported to the cloud, and if they're not ported to the cloud to look for a different vendor. So why Sophos? So Sophos has been around for 30 years. We have a long history. We've been a security company, always a security company, and we have, frankly, what is a rather long track record in the cloud. We first ported our firewall to the cloud six years ago. We've continued to innovate in the cloud. We are able to do things that other vendors are not to support things that customers want to do, auto-scaling, outbound, gateway, things like that, and we continue to innovate that platform as well as add key pieces to our platform, as such as our cloud optics, which interestingly enough came to us as we were shopping for it as a customer to support our own central infrastructure that runs in AWS. Our security guys thought, hey, we need a product that will help us with visibility and posture management, and then they turned to the organization and said, hey, this is a great product. We ought to look at buying this company, and that's how that acquisition came about. And so what's new with the company? What's going on? What are you guys doing? You've got a lot of it here at Amazon. What are the things you're working on that's important to tell? Yeah, we're basically, at this point, with that acquisition of optics happened, it was a company called Avid Secure. That just went down in January of this year. We released in the first week of April our own skin softless version of the product, and we're really looking to continue that innovation. Our theme this year for our company was evolve. We feel that as the world evolves, security evolves, and we have to evolve as well. And so there's a real focus on constantly evolving our products, innovating and trying to stay one step ahead of the bad guys, unfortunately. Andy, you've been around, we've been around, we've seen all waves come and go. Client server mainframe all the back of those days to now. What do you think of the most important story in the security industry is these days? What is that needs to be told that either is being told or needs to be amplified or isn't being told? What do you think is the high order bid in terms of the most important story? I think there's two fronts to that. One is, as I mentioned, evolve was a big point of discussion in our internal meetings, as well as our partner conferences, and helping customers to understand that their world has to evolve as well. The idea of a perimeter, for instance. There are a lot of companies that still try to stick to that idea of I can build a wall around my business. And the reality is, is between mobile devices, between every employee practically has a laptop now, the idea of keeping that castle wall around your business is just unrealistic. And so customers have to understand that. They also have to understand that migration to the cloud is inevitable and the sooner that they embrace that, the sooner they'll get the benefits of it and the sooner that they can begin the journey to the cloud that we feel it's inevitable. Andy, great insight. The evolving security threat landscape here on theCUBE, live coverage covering AWS Reinforce. We'll be right back with more after this short break. I'm John Furrier with Dave Vellante. We'll be right back.


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebrakes.com coming at you with a number block randomizer video for the following teams here, which fills up. Pick your team six, noir six, which will be coming up in a separate video. So works just like our number block breaks. Big thanks to all of these folks right here for getting into it.

Good luck guys So after this baseball home is flawless Hardcore and then after that I'll go through orders Which probably take me maybe about like 20 minutes or so Closer to like 11 and I'll do the sell a pack and then I'm probably gonna end up just doing the mixer guys to be honest And then I'll be it for me any other breaks that may fill We'll just go tomorrow with Joe And you know, we'll be back in like less than 12 hours By the time I get down to make sure he'll be here at one o'clock tomorrow So new hours for Joe schedule from Tuesday to Saturday are from one to nine Pacific and then they will come on from nine to 12 Stay a little after if he has to and then of course me I'm doing two to 12 And of course like yesterday stayed till about 130 so If needed to be Think today. I'm just gonna end off with a mixer. Oh my god crumb trap supreme Do you follow that noosh guy? Sean? Did you see that from Instagram? Well, I go yes Well, I ended up taking Thursday off with my wife, you know, my wife Here as well sort ships and does a lot of customer service which you can in the background, but Thursday once you just go visit her mom Which you hadn't seen it over a month with COVID since we weren't gonna be able to spend mother's day Pretty much here with like, you know, we usually just split up So visited her on Thursday in Fontana for a couple hours, of course practice social distancing still and Then Friday was my sister one of my older sister's birthday.  So my wife and I cooked them on the grill With some baked potatoes and and some green beans. That was really nice And then Saturday There's diable made a Something that really hits home to me one of my grandma's recipes from Mexico Call Gordita's which is kind of like a little bit of a soap is slash Taco, but not really I don't know how to explain it, but My wife learned a recipe from my one of my one of my aunts my actually my godmother My dad sister so It was pretty it was pretty cool actually Eating some some old school foods that my grandma used to pick for us when she was here with us It's what we make it with cold. It's called soap by the fiddle Which is kind of like a thin spaghetti kind of cut up in a way and With like ground pork you mix it in with some hot sauce with some salsa in it and stuff like that I don't think I have any photos on here. I think I only took them on Instagram, but So good So good My dad was so happy job You know we're getting some bangers now. Oh, look at that even a pink pulsar to 42.

Sorry I don't know who that is Bye-bye everything but veteran base ships so rookies inserts The only veteran base car that we should be would be Yanis Lebron Covey And Luca Is the exception now? Since some of those veteran base carts suffer way more than they should but they are Don't pretty well any flawless basketball That I know of I think we already did some flawless this past weekend Didn't we think we already used the case or so that we had? Wow, is this another pink pulsar? and Cameron Johnson Silver Wow, it's a James Harden pink pulsar as well 42 out of 42 Very nice Houston Rock is one of the Joe It's our second pink pulsar. Don't we have a Josh or Koji? Very nice Boya Zion Emergence as well. There's Lebron and Daniel Gafford rookie autograph for the bulls and Adam Kelly bonus John Merchant All right last box guys Remember guys coming up to this is baseball helmets flawless first off the line hard court And I'll go through orders But most likely I think I'm gonna call it after cello packs in the mixer since that'll pretty much bring us down to like Midnight at 12 o'clock. I lost box. I was gonna like hype Lebron siacum red wave autoporter junior Dumboya Patrick Ewing and a browse dykes Silver for the mix gonna Adam Kelly green Ben Simmons Green Jackson Hayes Emergence Rui Allen Silver and Troy Brown jr.

That was the three box prism retail Pikachu number 10 break on Jaspie's case breaks calm So we finally did get to see a little Zion base with some inserts as well as a job base and some inserts So Adam and Jason. We've got the palikins in the break. Got a little something there And of course, we've got a couple of pink pulsars as well, which is pretty solid and then we got the Zion stuff like that. Pretty sure you guys Jaspies case breaks calm
