Hello, friends, welcome back to another episode here on the channel. I hope you're all doing great and for anyone new to the channel, my name is Lee, also known as Osiris. In today's episode, we are going to be continuing on with our VGC content, concentrating on that new rule set that will be implemented on the 1st of August. So we've got a little bit of time before that does come into effect because it is currently Series 9. But I think everyone kind of put their message across quite clearly on that poll and said that they'd prefer to see Series 10. And I think it's a good idea. I think we get our hands dirty with the format. Kind of learn what's good, what's bad and what kind of work. So we're going to do that over the next few weeks in the lead up to that official rule switch over. And we kicked off on Friday last week with a bit of an episode on Zashian, which is pretty much one of the top not pun intended dogs in this format. So today we're going to look at a little bit of a different Pokémon, something else that is going to be pretty predominant. I feel going forward and I think it's got some huge potential. It had some good finishes over the weekend in the Battle Frontier tournament that we saw in particular. And that Pokémon is Zornius. So Zornius is a very interesting Pokémon. It really struggled in the formats prior to this, obviously Series 8 where we had Dynamax. But now that's gone. I think Zornius has kind of had the chains kind of taken off and it can be unleashed a bit. So this is the team that we're kind of starting off with. And just to mention all the teams that we featured today, there'll be poker pissed down in the description if you want to grab them, grab certain sets or spreads or whatever and just try them out for yourself. So this is the team that we kind of started off with. The Zornius, the Rillaboom, Incineroar, Regi Alecki, Talonflame and Lander of Steering. But I'll be featuring two builds today. And the second one is going to be very, very similar, but based around the six Pokémon that Kunal, good friend of the channel, shared who finished in the top eight of the Battle Frontier tournament this past weekend. Now I couldn't play in that tournament. I had childcare duties all weekend, so I wasn't able to participate, which is a little bit sad, but it just happened. So hopefully there'll be more in future where I'll be able to take part. But this was the six that Kunal used and got top eight with. Now, I don't know his exact spreads or sets or anything like that, but I put my own spin on how the team can be set up. So like I say, the pace will be down below and if you want to take a look at them. So we'll start off by explaining a few things with Zornius. So one of the things that I wanted with my Zornius in particular was obviously we're going to have that power boost from the Geomancy, the plus two in Special Attack. So I wasn't too worried about putting a massive amount in Special Attack. I wanted to stay in the field for as long as possible. You've got the Fairy or kind of boosting its attacks additionally on top of that. So I wanted it to stick around as long as possible. Now, this this combination here allows you to take a behemoth blade from a neutral, neutral as Ashen. So you need to intimidate it and it just gives you that addition. Like just a little bit of security, you know, and the speeds that allows you to get the jump on Shadow Rider Calorax on plus one. So if they're, you know, electro webbing you, you're still going to be able to add speed the Calorax on plus one, which is quite nice and that little bit of speed that will help out in certain situations, but that's pretty much the Zornius in a nutshell. You don't need to go into too much detail here. The Rillaboom on this build is a salt vest for how we really want to look at using Rillaboom. I feel you're going to be switching in a lot of the time to overwrite terrains or to just give you that additional faker while you protect Zornius. So just your board position a little bit. So it's more than likely that the Rillaboom will be coming on to the field and taking damage.  Just gives you that little bit of extra staying power again. Like we've got that kind of ethos behind Zornius. We just want to be able to have a Pokemon stick around for as long as possible. So the assault vest definitely helps out there. We've got high horsepower playing around with it. I don't know if it's the best option. I do like knockoff personally, but I've been trying high horsepower. It gives you an option to hit Zashian a bit harder things. I consider all a little bit better. So it is an option there. But as I say, I think that option here could be changed. There are plenty of options that Rillaboom does have access to. Even Wood Hammer could be a better option as well over high horsepower. But it's entirely up to you and what you feel like the team kind of needs. And then we'll move on to Incineroar. It's a bit more of a defensively built Incineroar. This one obviously playing in with the Intimidate. It definitely helps. But things like Mianchiao that can't be intimidated do cause us a lot of issues because they can just straight up close combat us and that is Incineroar gone for the rest of the game. We kind of want to avoid that. So with this investment here, you're able to take that close combat from a Mianchiao, which is really nice. The taunt is there because I wasn't really seeing myself use snarl too much. Now snarl is a good option, but you kind of got that kind of same option in a repositioning aspect with parting shot anyway. And the taunt just gives you a little bit more security against something like trick room being set up because you can see on face value, this team will struggle a little bit against trick room. And then the rest of the EVs were kind of just dumped into special defense. So it does leave us a little bit more vulnerable on the special side of things. So we need to be a bit conscious of that with this Incineroar. But for the most part, the defensive side of it, it's going to really be able to kind of match up a lot better against those big threats like Zashian, like Mianchiao and Pokemon like that. Red Geolaki on this one. We've went for a life up just for that additional power max speed as well. It's going to be the Pokemon that we're relying on a lot of the time for speed control against things like Shadow Rider Calyrex. For instance, if we don't have a Talonflame out to get that Electra Web off just to get big damage onto the board as well, especially boosted by the life orb makes it pretty threatening. And Red Geolaki is just solid all in all. And then we've got the Talonflame. Talonflame an interesting Pokemon. I do feel like it is very good. We've got the quick guard on there. It gives you protection against priority attacks, which can be pretty clutch in cases against opposing Faker with Zernius, especially if you're set up and your opponent's trying to play around, get their Faker back onto the field active again to disrupt the ability of you being able to sweep them where the quick guard kind of really overrides that. And then the Tailwind gives you that additional advantage. And at least you can then keep pace with opposing Tailwind Pokemon. You could go Jolly here on the Talonflame. It is an option, but I've opted for Adam. And just for that, a little bit of additional power for hitting things like Rillaboom, things like Volcarona, which are pretty popular at the minute. And the Flair Blitz as well for hitting things like Zashin a little bit harder. Then we round off the team with Landerous, Therian. Now Landerous and Carnate has been very popular, but I do think there's some viability and Therian still, especially with that Intimidate. Now you could go special set on here. I've went for more of a physical one. And there are conflicts, of course, with the grassy terrain and earthquake, but between Super Power Rock Slide and Earthquake, you've got nice coverage as always. Got the Rocky Helmet there and pretty much again going like really heavy on the defensive side here because it does allow you to take attacks from Zashin a lot better. Take Surgeon Strikes from opposing Urshifu's a lot better, but we do have nice coverage against Urshifu anyway, especially the Rapid Strike variant. Like Rillaboom, Regilecky and Talonflame help us deal with that a lot and even Zernius to a certain extent with the defensive boost that we feel like the investment that we've got there. So all in all, team's pretty nice. We'll play around with this one and then we'll move on quickly to talk about the kind of Kunal Shade 6. So there's a little bit of a variation here. Obviously the first four Pokemon are pretty much the same, except everyone for the Magnet just to give that a kind of run out on Regilecky. And the big thing I think the message here is, I think don't be tied down too much when you're testing teams to specific items. Just like go for it. If you want to test a different move or you want to test a different item out, it's a good time to do it, you know, and especially like showdown is the perfect place for us just to see if these things work. Now the variations with this team are obviously Kunal, Ran, the Volcarona and the Urshifu. Now I'm still not sure if he was running the single strike or the Rapid Strike. The Rapid Strike makes sense because you've got the Firewater Grass core in there and also that the Urshifu kind of plays off super well with the double Intimidate where you can really shuffle your, sorry, double fake out so you can shuffle your fake out and really kind of nail opponents if they're trying to protect on your fake out. Then Urshifu can really punish that with its crazy unseen fist ability. So the Volcarona is a little bit different from the Grassy Seed one that we ran on Friday in that Zashin team. So this one is Full Max Defense because this will allow you with the Citrus Berry to take that search and strike from opposing Rapid Strike Urshifus and at the same time you're going to have that chance to burn them as well. You've still got the ability to quiver dance up to kind of get a little bit set up with the Volcarona as well and the Rage Powder is really quite essential for help and zoning is kind of performed to the best of its ability and then the Rapid Strike Urshifu there is pretty standard with the Sash. So that is the team. So start off with a couple of games with the team and hopefully we can have a good showing of both of them look at like popular calls in the format and see how the teams can kind of handle those. So we're starting off against a Zashin team with Tornadus and then we got the Urshifu, the Rillaboom, Incinero. I swear we're all going to get sick of this. These calls popping up in Nile League as well, which is a nice Pokemon to bring in these sort of games. So I think what we'll do is we'll lead off with I mean the thing is the Tornadus definitely definitely threatens us with speed control of course and shutting down Zernius for a start. We'll go Linderous and I think we'll go. I feel like we need Boomin here as well, you know, I mean we could go on with Talonflame.  It's whether we want Rillaboom as well. I think we go Talonflame, keep pace with their with their tailwind if they go for it. So we do have the option to Earthquake here, but again the grassy terrain being up makes it a little bit more difficult for us to to I mean we can't Earthquake. This is the thing we can Earthquake and Quick Guard because we block, we block the Faker. We block the grassy glide, which is quite nice. We would take big damage from the Nile League but then the next turn we could potentially just go tailwind. Yeah, let's do that. Okay, they're going to rapid strike. Quick Guard not going to help us this turn but just the Power Gem coming out. Okay, so get the Earthquake. We should still do nice damage to that Nile League which is good and we still have the Brave Bird which we can go to go for into the Earthquake or we can just go for a tailwind here. Now I think we just tailwind just in case because they have to then go for Aquajet and they may not, yeah, they're not going to go for it where we can get the Nile League which is good and then they're going to surge and strike into our Landerous and you can see here how well we're taking that and doing almost as much damage to them with the Rocky Helmet as they've done to us which is just phenomenal, you know. So we're in a good spot. We've got a tailwind up. We can go for the Brave Bird into the Ocean for the next turn which is great and Landerous still intact with its Intimidate because you know that the, you know for a fact that the, I think what we're going to do, we're going to have to protect Landerous and then switch into Incinero because I think they're going to fake out an Aquajet, maybe. Now they're detecting, okay. You know the Zashans in the back. This is the thing. So we need to preserve our Intimidate. This is the big thing for us, you know, where we might need to give up, potentially give up Talon Flame here, now which might not be the worst thing in the world. The problem is now that the Zashan is going to be in a spot where it's going to be able to get its substitute up which is not ideal, really is not ideal. And it kind of would prefer to stop the Zashan getting the sub up over anything else. Okay, they're going for the Incinero which we should take this because this should just proc our Berry. Yeah. Okay. That's fine. And now we're in a good spot to get the Ocean Foo. We'll get our tailwind up again. But we can, we can cycle the Intimidates now. We can just Brave Bird into Ocean Foo, switching to Landerous. We'll probably lose Talon Flame and they may protect the Ocean Foo here again, but they haven't really got the switch in now to the Rillaboom at this point because I'll say the Brave Bird is going to take down probably the Rillaboom even if it switches in because we're not minus one, but they do detect. That's fine. They go for that Sacred Soul which we still take.  So this is a nice example of how, how the teams perform well. Now we do have the option here where we can tailwind, but again, I think we want to prioritise going for that Brave Bird and then just switch into Incineroar here and get another Intimidate onto the Zashion because it's likely we may see the Rillaboom come onto the field, but it is the Behemoth Blade. So that's fine. And we'll get rid of that, that Ocean Foo. We lose Talon Flame in the process, but that's, that's not too bad because that Zashion's now super weak. And what we can do is we can get Zernius onto the field now. They've got the active Faker, but it's, it's still, it's kind of fine because we just protect, we switch into Landerous, we put that Zashion down to minus two. The Rillaboom going to be minus one. They'll potentially take down the Landerous here. Also the Rocky Helmet damage would be nice, especially if they fake out into the Incineroar slot. And then we've got the active fake out to kind of help come in the next turn and help us out. Yeah, the Sacred Sword, there we go. Just taking the Rocky Helmet, so great, so great on it. And I think this is a really good example. Where we've kind of kept the Zashion not really a threat to us at all now. So we can just go for the Geomancy. Now what's worse? I think the Zashion's always going to be worse.  That's the big thing. Like most Zashions are going to have a substitute, right? So we want to be able to, I mean, they're minus, but they're minus three or four now, which is just crazy. So the Intimidate Cycling some matches can be so beneficial and you can see, you can see the value of the Rocky Helmet. Like really bulky lander is here coming into play. We'll see what this really boom does. It's minus two.  So what we can do is just, I think just dazzle and just go for a Flair Blitz into the Zashion at this point because they're so weakened from our Intimidate that they're not really going to be able to do anything. I mean, that is just ridiculous damage, right? And I mean, we're not doing huge damage ourselves, but I mean, even then the Incineroar with that defensive bulk just shows how good it is and we can just moonblast and pick up a nice clean win for this one. So, I mean, this is a good example of how the teams kind of performed well. And there's actually the Zernius at the end of game, you know, an amazing shape. So close that one off and we'll have one more, one more with this team and then we'll jump into our other one and see what we can do about having both teams featured in today's episode. We've got Invaltul, which is most part really good for our Zernius. Got to watch out, especially as a Zernius player for things like his on Tapu Fini. Obviously, the Cellist Stealer as well, going to be there to really give us a lot of issues, but we do have options to deal with the Cellist Stealer and Regi Alecchi Incineroar. Definitely going to help out with that, especially the Talonflame as well. Got to watch out for Tailwind and taunt on that Whimsicott, going to be a little bit awkward to deal with. And obviously the Urshifu as well, can give us all sorts of problems. So, especially leading with the Zernius, especially if the Urshifu does come out, it means it's just difficult for us to protect in front of, you know, right. I think, I think, I think what we're going to do is go Zernius, Talonflame, Rillaboom, and I think Alecchi here is going to be probably the best option for us, because Alecchi really gives us nice ways to deal with the Valtul, the Tapu Finni, and that Cellist Stealer as well. Got to watch out for the Landerous, but with the Gracie terrain up, it's not too bad. There's also like, you know, I've been tempted to play maybe something like Gracie Siege Alecchi, but the problem is with that, Alecchi is one of those Pokemon where you want to try and get in and out on the field, and you know, it's not going to be sitting on the field for turn after turn after turn. So it kind of wastes the seed, although the defensive boost at times could be quite nice to utilize. Okay, so I think here we're just going to protect. We're going to switch straight. Do we go for the Tailwind just to kind of give us the edge because they can Tailwind as well? It's not a bad idea. Probably at worst with Talonflame, I'm going to take potentially a Muddy Water. Now they could taunt us, but I think they're more likely to taunt the Zernius here. Just gives us a little bit. I think we taunt Tailwind here. Then we switch into Riddoboom. We Tailwind with them, and yeah, the Muddy Water comes out. We get away with that scot-free. We get away with that scot-free. Now, do we want a GM ANSI? Probably not. Probably not in all honesty. I think we probably want to just go for maybe a Moonblast into the Tap of Finny. We could dazzle and go for a Bravebird into the Whimsicott in all honesty because that would give us then a way to remove their speed control option. They do switch into Celestia, which makes sense. I mean, we're going to get nice damage onto it regardless here. Even if we lose Talonflame, they're gone for their haze. Yeah, they're scared of the GM ANSI. That's the thing. We've got to be very patient with how we're utilizing the GM ANSI here. We do have Flairblitz, so we could potentially just go Dazzlingly and Flairblitz. They do have Wygod, but you can see their Talonflame coming in like an absolute booster. And even if we get that Muddy Water now, that's still not the worst. We do lose Talonflame, but it's a very good trade in my opinion. Now we can bring in really boom. Now we've got the opportunity to go for the fake out into the Tap of Finny. Now, does this Whimsicott have taunt? I don't know. It could do. The thing is what we could potentially do is GM ANSI in grassy glide here. Yeah, this is all right. And if we see the taunt, we do see the taunt. That's fine. We know it's there now, which is fine. Like a lot of the time, you know, the Xerneas doesn't necessarily need the GM ANSI to perform. You know, I think we can, I think we double into the Whimsicott with a U-turn and a Moonblast. I'm not really too worried about the lander. It's especially the build of Xerneas, you know, in this particular team. Yeah, they're going to U-turn. They're going to get their Tap of Finny back on the field. We want to reset our Intimidate onto our Relaboon. We want to try and remove this Whimsicott as well. Take away the SB control. Take away the taunt options. We'll be able to get Regi Alecki in, which is fine, because we've got that switch straight back to Relaboon if we need to, or we can protect Regi Alecki here and bring in Relaboon, which is probably the best play in all honesty. We reset the taunt on the Xerneas as well, which is nice. But, you know, against these teams are really set up against things like Xerneas. You don't necessarily need to... No! Okay. Well, that freeze is not so good. They're just going to Earthquake. They're going to Earthquake. They're going to Earthquake. Well, we can grass and glide. They're going to Earthquake. They're going to Earthquake. I mean, we take the Earthquake. We take the Earthquake. This is really frustrating for us. That freeze is not ideal. We'll take the Earthquake. We'll go for Earthquake again. They're going to go double up into the Regi. No, they're not fast enough too. I mean, we get it, but the freeze just makes this really annoying to deal with. Their tailwind is going to run out soon. Let's just let Alecki go down. That's just mindlessly thunderbolt. Yeah, they're going to do that. It gives us a free switch into Xerneas, and we can just Geo in front of them and just... Yeah, it's like it doesn't matter now. It doesn't matter at all, but you kind of get the gist. You get the gist, right? There's the Earthquake doing absolutely nothing. Let's see if Rilla can thaw. Come on, Rilla. No, frozen solid, moonblast. Bye-bye, good game to my opponent. So, we'll move on and we'll have a couple of games with the Kunal build now. And we'll see how we can get on with this one. And then that should wrap up the episode. Oh, we're playing another Eveltil. Eveltil seems to be picking up a little bit of popularity, especially with the Stack Attacker. It's a combination that we've seen in previous formats. It does very well, compliment each other very well. You've got both sides of the spectrum. You've got potentially Tailwind here. You've got Trick Room here and a lot of Pokemon to kind of benefit and play around with, especially with the trap from the Gothatel, which makes things a little bit more awkward for us to kind of function around. Whether or not we want to lead with Xerneas here is another question altogether because I think the problem is... If we lead it into Stack Attacker, it makes it a little bit more difficult. And Xerneas is always a good Pokemon for the late game, at least with something like a polling shot, we can get around the kind of being stuck on the board. And I do feel like, you know, our own Urshifu here isn't too bad. We've got to be very careful around the potential Rillaboom, which makes it a lot more difficult anyway. But something like Volcarona can do a decent job. Again, it's going to be a bit difficult, but I think not the worst. And I think we've got Urshifu and... Or is... Or is... Rillaboom better. Maybe Rillaboom's better, you know. I just think like the fake out, Rillaboom can do a lot of work. Yeah, we've got Rillaboom, we've got Rillaboom, we've got NC, we've got NC, Volk, Rilla, and Xerneas. Yeah, that's kind of what we expected. Now, we'll probably see fake out here and they're just going to rock slide here, which is not ideal at all. But we do have, we do have... We can fake out. Now, I think we potting shot and we heat wave. No, they don't even fake out. We could have went for the fake out, but that's nice. We get the Rillaboom onto the field, which is always good. They're going to hypnosis us a trick room. Trick room, trick room. Don't really get that.  Where we can fake out. Got the tell now and just go for another... Well, I mean, we could go for giga drain. We're probably going to do more to the stack attacker, especially with the boost. Yeah, we'll go for that. Okay, NC coming in. That's fine. Heat wave there would have been probably better, in all honesty. Okay, but we can readjust again with Rillaboom. Go for the U-turn and then just go for a heat wave. Yeah, they fake us out. That's fine. We'll get that nice chip in and we'll just bring Incineroar back onto the field and we can just keep cycling, you know. Trick room going up and we have to stall this trick room out. But that was always going to be the case, you know. That was always, always going to be the case. I think we'll go for a parting shot into the opposing Incineroar. The problem with the Volcoron is obviously we don't have access to protect, which makes it a little bit more tricky, of course, but we can bring Rillaboom back in. Gleblitz, we take that like a champ. Get that Citrus Berry. You can see the defensive capabilities of the Volcoron as well. Now the Gothatels in real, real awkward position where we can just go for a U-turn into the Incineroar and just go for another heat wave because they've got no way to knock out the Volcoron. You know, they can go Gleblitz again, but it's not really going to make much difference because the heat wave is going to take down the Gothatel. Do a nice bit of chip to the Incineroar. We still got that active fake out going into the next turn.   I think that's what we're going to try and do at least. Okay, potting shot. I don't mind that really too much Rillaboom coming in. Okay, that's fine. This fan is fine because we can just bring in Volk. We want to just, we want to just, you know, take our time with bringing the Xernius onto the field. We want to time it right if we can. If we see a U-turn, yeah, then big fat damage there. And Stack's going to come back on, going to be able to get that trick room up again now, which is not ideal, but we could, we, well, I mean we can double up. We can go for, we can go for the Gigadrain. We can go for the High Horse Power and if we get one of them, we'll get one of them, you know. We are minus two attack though with, with Rillaboom, which is not ideal, but at the same time, it's not, it's not terrible. We're going to have to contend with another round of trick room, but again, like I said, not, not super terrible. We're going to see Rock Slide for sure come out, but we need to reset. We need to reset the Intimidate. I don't really want to lose Volk either, just carelessly. We've got the grassy terrain up. So it's going to help us get a bit of health back. Body press coming out, not ideal. And Flair Blitz doubling up into that Rillaboom slot, but we do get a fake out now. So they got Jarrow. Have they got Jarrow Ball? That's, that's the interesting. That's a question, isn't it? That is the question. I mean, we can Geomancy here. Probably not worth, worth Geomancy.  Hopefully we don't see a Flair Blitz into the Rillaboom slot. Taunt, that's fine. But we've got fake out again. So we really want to kind of set out a situation up where we can, I mean, they're going to body press regardless. Aren't they? Let's go for Volk in here. And then we got the Incinero switch in the next turn. Are they parting shot? No, they're Flair Blitzing. We do take it. And one turn of trick room left. I think we may, maybe better. Now we're getting Incinero in for a boom. We'll go for a heat wave. Because we may be able to take. Yeah. Okay. They get us there. Okay. And then Rillaboom going to come in on this heat wave. We are minus one, but I mean the damage right now is super nice for us. Unless we miss, unless we miss, of course, but we do get the burn. Okay. So that's pretty nice. Okay. That's good. We can't complain too much. So the big thing is obviously, yeah, not ideal. We'll fake out stacks and we'll go for a heat wave again. They're going to fake us out. Okay. Well, we'll fake out them and then we've got, yeah, when we've got the double up now into the boom, into the stack attack to stop that trick room going up. Now they could switch Incinero again, potentially protect or we could go for the taunt and just shut down that stack attack completely, which is not a bad option. We do survive because of that burn, which is good. Get rid of the boom, go for the taunt, stop the trick room, and then we're in a great spot. Obviously the burn helping out there, but it kind of comes into play a lot of the time, you know, and this is just one of those games where we have to be very careful with how we're playing around with our Pokemon. Fake out probably into boom. We'll go for a gigadrain this time. I mean, we could quiver dance as well. That's the other option because they haven't revealed a rock slide at all yet, but heat wave is probably the better option. We could gigadrain. They're going to go to fake out into that slot. They're going to body press. Yeah, okay. Then we get Incinero back in onto the field. Um, fake out. Let's get some health back on this stacker because we want, it's not doing very much at all. Even in the grassy terrain, minus one, and the body press coming out. And now we've got Xernias to come in and we're going to be in a decent enough spot. Now they've got the trick room back, which is the problem, but we can moonblast and heat wave. And I think that would be enough to get the stack attacker. Hopefully it will be. Yeah, heat wave should be enough as long as we don't miss, which we don't, which is good.  So the flablet's coming out. And you can see that like, you can see how good this, this bulky, bulk or honor is, you know, they'll get the rage powder now. We'll take another flablet. It gets a Geomancy set up 100%. We are in a great spot to just go moonblast for the win and we can quiver dance just for style points. And that is that. So friends, as I say, both teams are down in the description below. You can check them out, try them out. And I hope today's episode, it's just opening your eyes to maybe playing some of these Pokemon a little bit differently. Like Xernias is normally 2.5, 2.5, 2, or at least like a lot of the time, you know, I just want that max speed, max attack, but there are different ways to kind of play around with it. And I think like just exploring some of the different ways with how some of the Pokemon kind of are meant to function different builds like the really boom with the assault vest. It makes a lot of sense. Like you're going to be switching it around a lot. You want to prolong that longevity of on the field. So that makes sense. And like I say, the, the Volcarona again, we featured it on Friday. We're featuring it again today. It makes a lot of sense. But the one thing I would say is, you know, we've got to see a really great match between the alternate of options, you know, the Talonflame and the lander is doing really good work in that first game and the Rocky Helmet showing how good it can be. Now the spreads in particularly don't need to be like this. You can play around with them. And like I say, there is an option to go Jolly on Talonflame as well. It just gives you that little bit more security and that 195 raw speed stat with 252 investment is incredible.  But again, do you, do you necessarily need it for how it's going to, you know, act? So they are the teams. This is the earliest we've touched on it today. We'll be going a lot deeper into it in the future. But I hope you've enjoyed today's games. Friends, thank you so much for tuning in. Have a great rest of your day and I will catch up with you all again very soon for another episode on the channel.


Check check. All right Does this also include a laser pointer? Oh, yeah. Oh cool Check all right Are there any wiki maps user members around the room right now Okay, oh my god the timer was already begin. Okay. I want to introduce that my speaking style is this nice Sometimes I love by myself Sometimes I figure out that's maybe because of I am doing this. I'm doing this but other times I think I might be crazy. So I'm not really in Susan and is I'm just crazy. So, yeah So just heads up. Pardon me. If if in the midway during our presentation, we will I will love money, okay Do I please press this one this green button? Okay Ah, yes, I have uh, oh, I have nine minutes actually duration 10 minutes One minute already passed. Uh, you can find this slide in pre talks Images with links inside that you can click All right, uh my first Oh my god, this this is a sub title. I forgot to delete that come on. Okay. Uh, my title is uh, actually Uh, but uh, some Indonesian maps are problematic and how they are problematic Uh, I will show you how I'm rima by the way Uh, that's my link in if you want to open it also And I just given 10 minutes. So I'm gonna do uh, not a 10 minute wrap god, but 10 minutes Hopefully map god, right? So this is the island of Sulausi. You can see this is one of our biggest island in Indonesia in middle Indonesia uh It is the left one is the location map. Uh, there's someone made Uh, and this is the the one I made I consider this one. Uh, I'm sorry if any of you guys are actually the one who made any of the maps that I'm gonna review for the next 10 minutes Uh, this one, uh Why is it problematic because it doesn't include This island right here that island is miangas island. It's one of the Indonesian territory belongs to the provinces of north sulausi And also it doesn't Show much of islands here. You can see islands here really small Balablakang islands belong to the provinces of west sulausi you can also see here It's supposed to be an island right there plow luha luha island Right in the middle of lake towuti the second biggest lake in indonesia Very ancient lake you should read about the jewel you call history of the island. It's really amazing Uh, what I don't I really don't like I really don't like how Miangas is not showing in this map miangas should show And also this island maru island Maru island of indonesia. I don't know But miangas no you can see the tip of the pilippines.  Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Where are the bangai the togean? Oh my god, even the islands of southeast sulausi My god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh next map. Uh Is the link I made it white also. There's a lot of links. Sorry. Yeah, uh, you're supposed to be white This the indonesia provinces a blank map This is the current version has been updated by other users as well particularly after the devolution in the pop in papua This is it before You can see here This is supposed to be an island here about like two island maru island one of them Just got traverse As a border of north sulausi like that. Yeah, yeah Do you like if I draw a malaysia right a border right here like Like that. No, right? Of course People of this island. I don't think I don't think I don't think we should do that I don't think we should do that, right? And also there are actually islands right here that belong to sulausi and also there's uh You're supposed to be an island here. It's called simuk island Uh, unfortunately, I don't know what kind of sources the person used to make this island to make this map And also this one I think we have the team is timoress with us right now. You can see They use uh provincial borders for Uh, or euro island, right? Not me. Not me. Not me. Don't blame me. Don't blame me. Don't blame me. Yeah. Yeah, I revise it actually Yeah international border, right international border like malaysia, right? Don't blame me. Don't blame me Yeah, also the okisei, the okisei province, right? You should be connected somehow I really don't like using uh territorial waters border like this Uh, because the source is fake. This is menui island. Oh my god. I should show you menui This is menui Menui actually belong to central sulausi. This one not southeast sulausi Somehow menui is just Strike rate even though there are a chain of island from here to here You can see this is the island menui from central sulausi Belong to I think moro wali regency or something. Uh, there's the qid. You can verify it yourself It's coordinate population about 7,000 people in 2019 7,000 people got Sorry Silent oh five minutes Because this means silence right, uh 7,000 people just got trampled over Just got trampled over like this and belong to other provinces. Oh my god And also there is also an island right here Pade kecil and also another island up here actually pade besar. This is the satellite image I extracted from the sentinel data So yeah, 7,000 people not a small amount, right? Yeah, we have to we have to be careful And also this one is too much Uh the one the one in the left you can see the The territorial waters borders this one I take from natural earth This one. I don't know what they use what it is It's really curved like that You can see the more jagged one. Uh, I don't know which one is official But I rather use natural earth data more You know, it is more similar with the one that I saw in the atlas books Sell sold in indonesia and also you can see that I don't put any maritime border whatsoever Because I couldn't find any official resources regaining it Uh in even in even in the official maps. No. Oh my god. This one is really horrible horrible one You can see why is it kind of problematic? The first one can someone answer Okay, you can see this island Why is this here? You can see this island. Why is it here? Why is it here? What kind of island is this? There's no island here There's no island here. The Karimunjawa Island supposed to be here. It's not here This supposed to be sea man come on And also here look at this. Where's my even Madura? Is this still on in the english wikipedia until now? So I made another one This one I already uh updated in uh, indonesian wikipedia for now You can see these islands. This is the correct position. Not like this. Yeah, not like this Come on. Come on Why do I have so many sample of this? All right, so Basically having a lot of islands means uh, that it is a challenge to map indonesia accurately when we do not provide a credible knowledge For reader with a diverse places of origin our knowledge itself. It's not diverse It is a the generalization principle of cartography, of course, but there are some places still worth noting When creating our content in wiki media projects, uh, not limited to maps, of course I also created article in indonesian wikipedia on manui island. Yeah, it's a very, uh, wonderful article It's very wonderful place also So I came up with the policy that uh, when I contribute and when I also I'm also a contributor in open street map Uh, I kind of have my own value that uh, no island should be left behind and also context matters Don't be don't be like this. Don't be like this Where's the context? Okay, uh, I should have about uh, one minute. Oh no. No. Oh god. No. No God no no god, please if if This is actually the you can also browse manui island right now in your google maps You should found this most recipe of border. This is google to not All right That's it for me. Thank you. Uh, we have less than one minute for a question anyone uh, it's actually not uh, read it you can uh In well at least that what I was talk in college If you draw maps you should give it more context so it doesn't look like a floating leaf It's in the middle of nowhere It's basically just but it's still readable. Sorry. Oh my god It's still readable. I know I know it's really liberal But in order to show the context where java is what is not what is located next to and so on You have you got to have context you have to have the environment of the actual geography Like that You're probably right In my frame in my frame in wiki wiki media projects they mean Oh, if you are going to edit in open street map, you got to edit it edit it On open street map what I use to draw this is just a qjs Sometimes I use arc gis when I have money, of course But other times I use mainly qjs because the free license allow me to upload the works to wiki media comments With a lot of sources you can open this slides If you are able to find the link, I'll probably later add links to meta to wiki media dot wiki media dot arc dot org I use a lot of sources if you find these images in my in my upload list in comments You can see the sources that I list there Some are too small It's a fair question Balabalakang actually have a very small population It's really small, but it has it has it is inhabited. They are inhabited also Likung Tangaya Miangas is famously inhabited because our president came there and built an airport I don't want to be more political, but it is inhabited There are a lot of other islands. I can oh my god. I got to Okay, I need to confirm to the estimaries atauro is inhabited, right? Yeah I think we are wrapped up and people don't forget we have photo session at 4 4 5 at the plenary if I'm not I'm not incorrect. Yeah. Thank you for your attention. Yeah Yeah


So I've spent years taking handwritten notes. This is about four years worth of notes from my time at the University of Toronto. And then this is about four or five months worth of notes for a really big exam called the MCAT. And now in medical school, this is my first year worth of handwritten notes taken during my time here. But now I do pretty much everything digitally using either my iPad or my laptop. And so the question is, which one of these methods is best? So handwritten notes pretty much got me through seven years of university. I would attend the lecture and then take my own handwritten notes, lecture 20, take the notes, lecture 21, take the notes. And then when it came exam time, I would condense those lectures into as little information as possible. So a lecture that used to take up one page would now only take up about this much. And then again over here, small lectures, just condensed down into the really need to know information. Then before exams, I would read this information over and over and over again just trying to ingrain it into my head. So I could remember and understand everything when it came exam time. And to be honest, this method of writing down information, condensing it and then reviewing it over and over again worked really well for me. So research generally shows that handwriting notes means that you can remember the material better than if you were to just type it. One research study by Mueller and Oppenheimer even showed that students who take lecture notes by hand generally performed better in tests than those who took their notes on a computer. One of the reasons for this is because we can type so much faster than we can write. This means that when we handwrite our notes, we force ourselves to distill the information from the lectures into the information that we think is most important. The main issue when it comes to typing down your notes is that you're likely gonna just copy the exact information that's being said without thinking about what it is that you're writing down. Typing notes on a keyboard can be a very passive process where your job as students is just to transcribe everything that the lecturer is saying. Instead of when you take handwritten notes, you can really focus on making high yield notes with only the most important information. It also takes skill to write good handwritten notes. And certainly when I was writing these notes back in 2013 till 2017, I don't think I've quite mastered that skill just yet. You have to be able to condense the information down into something useful and pick out the key information from lectures. So this does mean that you have to practice somewhere or have some experience in taking good handwritten notes at to see the benefits of better recall. From an anecdotal point of view, when I write handwritten notes, I really feel that I'm much more zoned in and focusing on the information that I'm taking in and that I'm writing down. Because it's a slower process naturally, I kind of have to think about it more. When I'm typing out lecture notes on the other hand, I could be listening to the professor and typing down everything they're saying whilst having a full on conversation with my friend or watching the football game that someone is live streaming in front of me. And I used to do this all the time. I would have no problem even just closing my eyes almost going to sleep and typing away transcribing everything they were saying. Now, obviously in that scenario, I'm doing zero thinking. I'm not learning anything. I'm not absorbing any information. I'm just getting the information down onto paper or in this case onto my computer so that I can condense it and review it later on. But obviously, as you can imagine, that's definitely not an efficient way to be learning. Now, this isn't always the case, but most degrees, at least in theory, don't rely on your ability to recall a list of information. They want you to learn the theory and apply general concepts to situations in exam questions. Quick side note, this was extremely rare in my degree at the University of Toronto where most of our courses were just about how much information you could memorize from the slides. When that's the case, it's really important to figure out what your professor's courses are actually testing you on. If you want to score well, you need to match your studying technique to their testing technique. If they're testing you on pure memorization, then unfortunately, you just need to memorize. And if they're testing you on your application of theory, then you need to truly understand the material. Anyways, back to what I was saying. So the research shows that students with handwritten notes might understand concepts better because typing notes requires shallower processing than handwriting them does. But I think this is a very niche view of how most students study. Most of you watching this video, including myself, probably don't just use notes to learn. Throughout all these years of handwriting and reviewing and condensing all these notes, I was also using other resources to study. Things like videos, so sketchy medical, things like past paper question banks or past exam papers provided by the university. I was never solely reliant on just handwriting notes. But at different times through my university life, they've either been the home base or the core of my studying technique or just a peripheral additional thing on the side. A lot of the evidence from research studies is comparing just handwritten notes to just typing notes. So this doesn't include information about other study techniques. And I don't think it's very reflective of how students study today. And that's why I believe that digital notes can be really, really useful when we actually use them to facilitate things like active recall and space repetition, which I'm sure you guys are all sick of hearing by now, but they really do work as studying techniques. Now active recall and space repetition were still techniques that I was using when doing handwritten notes. It's just much more difficult when you're doing it paper-based versus a computer. Handwritten notes wasn't a bad way of studying. And if you study with handwritten notes and that works for you, then just keep doing it. I did it, like I said, for so long and it worked very, very well for me. It was only in the summer after my 30th of medical school and then in my fourth year of medical school where note taking in this way just became unsustainable. Really big exams like the USM Lee Step One, where there's just so much information to learn. And then in fourth year for my clinical years where I spent tons of time in hospital, just meant that I didn't have enough time to handwrite notes on all the information that was being constantly thrown at me. Now this kind of forced me into the realization that handwriting notes was extremely inefficient.  I've personally spent so much of my life in libraries or at home at my desk because I was just sitting there handwriting notes, which by nature is such a time consuming process. So starting in my fourth year of medical school, I just said, you know what? I don't have the time to sit down and take all these handwritten notes. And then that's when I had to adapt my studying habits and techniques to continue performing well at university. And so I started relying a lot on my digital notes on a computer. So there are some obvious pros to taking digital notes. Let me show you guys how I store all of my information on an app called Notion. So this here is my medical school page. I've got a whole bunch of different pages over here inside. But the main one that I wanna show you is my conditions page. So this is a list of pretty much all the conditions that I need to know in medical school neatly organized by a body system. Then if you click into each of these, they're even further organized into different parts of the body. And then each one of these will have a whole bunch of information color coded according to the different things that I need to know or that I want to know. And you know, it's all there easily with a click of a button. It's on my phone, it's on my laptop, it's on my iPad, I can access it anytime. So why are these notes so great? The first thing and what I consider to be really important is the search ability. So I can search across all of my notes for let's say, liver cirrhosis and just see what comes up. So here I've got liver cirrhosis. Again, under gastroenterology, I just click on it and suddenly I have access to all of my liver cirrhosis notes. These are screenshots that I've taken from previous digital notes. This is a picture I've taken from a book. And you know, here's all my information neatly organized in just one little quick search away. When I'm on the wards in the hospital and I see a patient with a certain condition and I need to refresh my memory on that, I don't want to Google the condition. I want to know my notes while I've written down and what I think is most important and relevant for me. So I can just quickly pull it up on my phone and find it like this. Now when I was dealing with my good old friends, oh, that's another reason not to store your notes on paper. So as I was saying, back when I was storing all of my notes handwritten on pieces of paper when they weren't ripped out of my folder, if I wanted to search for a word like liver cirrhosis, how in the world would I ever find it here? No matter how organized I would keep something like this, you know, with sticky notes and different headings, which I did do over here as you guys can see, there's just no way I could find this information easily, quickly and at a glance, which brings me to point number two. Once I've done my handwritten notes and I've put them away in a folder, they become useless. I will never, ever, ever look at these notes again because it's just too difficult. It takes too much time and it's not worth the hassle. Whereas my Notion document over here, I literally look through and use pretty much every single day and I have access to information that I've written so many years ago very quickly at a glance. And even now when I'm starting to study for a new exam, the situational judgment test, you know, I've got all these notes here and I can start building on them more and more and more. It's just such a better way of organizing your files, making them easily accessible in the future. Besides the fact that it's backed up online, I can never lose it. It's on my phone, my iPad, my laptop.  A third point is that digital notes like this are really easy to edit and change. You know, if I'm looking through one of these conditions, let's say, I don't know, aortic dissection. So if I come here and I realize that I want to add another presenting complaint for patients who come with aortic dissection, I can literally just write it down. If I want to move this entire paragraph and just shift it down and put it over here, I can do that. And if I want to delete everything, I can do that really easily. Okay, let me bring it back before I lose it. But you guys get the point. This is so easily editable. I remember and I hated if I ever had to make amendments to my hundreds of notes like this, I would literally have to like cut up a piece of paper, staple it inside, you know, try and make it neat and obvious that I've made an addition over here. I hated it. And it was just, it made me feel like my notes were so much less neat, more disorganized, et cetera. One more thing that I would often do with my handwritten notes is I would always try to squeeze as much information as I possibly could onto a single page. And that meant that I would write things really small as you guys can see. And then if I wanted to add on additional information, I'd make sure to write to even smaller so that it didn't take up any space at all. Whereas here on my digital notes, like it feels like I just have this huge sandbox, this immense infinite playground onto which I can write and add notes and images and pages within pages and tables and headlines. You know, it's just, it's much more freeing than being physically restricted to a single piece of paper or a booklet of paper for that matter. Anyways, I could be here for days talking about the pros of taking notes digitally and taking handwritten notes on my iPad, type notes like this on Notion on my computer, but I've got a bunch of videos about those already on the channel. You guys can watch them up over here. So by now, we all know that active recall and space repetition are some really high utility methods of studying. Personally, I found that with handwritten notes, they just don't facilitate being able to quiz myself on the content that I'm studying. I would kind of have to just cover with another piece of paper, the piece of paper with notes on it and just reveal information solely in one piece at a time. Whereas with my digital notes, it's really easy to hide information behind different pages, behind different toggles and so I can quiz myself way, way easier. What I found was that if I handwrote my notes, then I would still need to do pass paper questions. And when I would do a question, then great, I'd have my notes that I could go back and refer to. But instead, I could just skip this whole handwriting notes part, just do practice questions and take notes from those practice questions. I've got an entire video on this studying method, which I still use up until today. I'll leave a link somewhere up over here. Now using this technique, instead of just copying or transcribing lecture slides and then being faced with this wall of handwritten notes every time I go to study, I could easily go through and read the questions that I was actually tested on. And then when I read the questions, I need to use my brain to try and figure out what the answer is and recall that information, which is such a more active way of studying and led to definitely better recall and consolidation for me. Having these digital notes encourages me to test myself using hidden toggles and pages within pages and review the notes more often. It's way too easy to just store away these paper notes in a file and literally never look at them ever again. With my digital notes, I can always access them on my phone, my laptop or my iPad. And so it just makes it easy to open up and then review the content. On top of that, I'll never forget that when I was handwriting notes on paper, every time I'd come across a diagram or a flow chart or something that I would need to copy, I would just have the biggest side because it would take forever to re-copy that image over again. Whereas in digital notes, I literally just screenshot it or drag and drop the image and then I can annotate on top of it. It was like a game changer for me. So now in medical school, knowing that I have this database, which is my conditions list that I showed you earlier, with everything in one place just makes me feel so much more secure and confident about the information. And when I'm on the wards or out and about, I know that I have access to that information very easily and quickly. Now, when it comes to spaced repetition, if you're reviewing your notes, either paper notes or digital notes on anything other than like Anki, which has its own algorithm for showing you information at different intervals, then you kind of have to build in space repetition into your own timetable. So I would do this by going on a calendar and like literally writing the subject to study over here and over here and over here and over here and over here. So I'd make sure I'd go over enough times at different time intervals. I also keep track of how many passes I've done of each subject in a table on Notion. And that way I know how many times have I covered this information before. When I was doing handwritten notes, I would write everything down. And then on my second review, I would write things down in a different color. And then on my third review, I would use a different color. And so I knew how many reviews I had done based on how many colors there were. And I knew which information I had added at different times because of the different colors as well. Definitely not the best way of doing things, but it worked for me at the time.   And that's why I think it's crucial to choose study methods that are effective and are efficient. Anything that can reduce the friction of me studying and saves me time when studying is something that I really want to do. And this is why I think that taking digital notes is so key for me. And there might be lots of evidence that shows that handwritten notes are better than type notes or digital notes when it comes to learning. But I think digital notes have come so far since some of these studies have been done. And in my opinion, it makes the high utility stuff so much easier to do. I'm talking active recall and space repetition, quick access to notes and reviews, et cetera. And this is the main advantage for me using something like Notion where I can get organized and I can start writing myself questions and answers and I can hide information behind different pages and toggles instead of just writing things down nonstop handwritten, taking forever over and over again. But at the end of the day, like I always say, you know, study however works for you. If all your friends are doing anky and active recall and they say it's the best thing ever, but you're just not a big fan of it and you prefer to handwrite your notes and make them all aesthetic and everything like that, then honestly go for it. I took handwritten notes for so long and it worked very, very well for me. It doesn't mean it's a bad studying technique. I've just adapted to the different life and time commitments that I have. Now in my later years of medical school and that's what's working for me now. Maybe in a year from now I'll change my studying technique again. Who knows, I think being able to adapt and being able to change to your surrounding circumstances is also really, really important. And that's it. I hope this video has been useful and given you a little bit of an insight into why digital note-taking for me has become my go-to instead of studying with handwritten notes. I'm always interested to hear about how you guys all work. So please do let me know in the comments down below.

25th of November marks the international day for the emanation of violence against women. Research shows that it is predominantly women who fall victim to domestic violence, whatever their social status, financial standing, and place of residence. The violence is implied by silence, indeed it is seen as an internal family issue unless the victim or witness reports it to the authorities. And this, unfortunately, emboldens perpetrators. Domestic violence should be reported as fast as possible. The sad reality is, however, that things need to get very serious before this happens. Being aware of these problems, we as the City of Warsaw not only offer help to victims of domestic violence, but also run awareness campaigns on what can be done to improve the situation. One of them is our Violence Feeds of Silence campaign launched in 2019 and resumed in 2020 as a response to the alarming data on growing rates of domestic violence amidst the pandemic. Together with our NGOs, Warsaw provides free of charge legal counselling psychological support and facilities such as shelters for victims. We see the international day for the elimination of violence against women as an opportunity to remind the public that domestic violence continues to be an issue of great importance. But we must fight it every day by reporting it and helping victims because violence feeds of violence.


Good afternoon, everyone. It's theCUBE live, proud strike, Dalcon 23. This is day two of our coverage. This is over 4,000 people here, customers, partners, executives. It's been a great day and a half covering the event. We've been talking with executives, with the ecosystem as well. We're going to be doing that next. Anthony Cito joins us, the field TTO at Dig Security. Anthony, great to have you on theCUBE. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for having us. Give us the low down on Dig Security. We already like the name. Tell us who you guys are, what you do, mission, vision. Yeah, so Dig Security, we are a leader in the data security space. We really focus on two things. Our data security platform is focused on DSPM, so data security posture management, and then also a technology called DDR, which is something that we invented, which is data detection and response. So it's looking at how do we help customers understand if data is leaving their environment in real time, right? So the founding of the company was really to help answer three questions, one of which was, can I see if my data is leaving my environment? But also, where does my data live in the cloud, and who has access to that data? And that's a big challenge now, right? Customers don't know, as they go into the cloud or the multi-cloud, where their data lives. So if you don't know where it is, how do you know how to protect it? How do you know who has access to it? Talk a little bit about CrowdStrike. I see on the website they're an investor. They are, yep. So CrowdStrike is an investor. They're also a technology partner as well, right? So one of the things that we've built with them is the ability to do malware scanning in the cloud. So customers that have both Dig and CrowdStrike now have the ability to look for malware in their cloud data stores across the multi-cloud environment. How does DSPM work? So DSPM really is, you know, it's a set of processes and technologies around assessing, protecting, and monitoring your data and really reducing your risk, right? So what we do is we do discovery and classification. So we go out and we look at, number one, what data exists in the cloud? What type of data is it? Is it sensitive data? So is it PII data or PCI data or PHI data, right? And then we look at the posture of it. So again, is it misconfigured properly? Who has access? Is data flowing to and from environments? And then again, there's the real-time piece of it, right? Being able to look at, in real-time and alerting our customers, hey, you've got someone that's moving data out of your environment right now. Maybe data's flowing from production to a dev environment. Or maybe it's leaving your environment and going to an environment doesn't belong to you, right? These are the types of questions that traditional cloud security tools haven't really been able to support an answer. So the classification piece, presumably is math. So what? I mean, well, how do you do it? Is it support vector machines or probabilistic latent semantic indexing? Or is it just some other magic that you developed? Yeah, so our classification engine really, think of it as a funnel, right? So we leverage really four different ways to identify data. So at the top of the funnel, it's just things like pattern matching, right? How do we know if this 16 digits is actually a credit card number? Well, it looks like a credit card number because it's 16 digits. And then the next step is we want to say, okay, now that we see these 16 digits, let's look for contextual clues, right? Is this 16 digits surrounded by a name, a first name or a last name? Is it surrounded by an expiration date or a three-digit code, right? Then that next level is about, okay, now we leverage algorithms, right? Now that we know that these 16 digits looks and smells like a credit card number, can we use algorithms to determine, is this the right set of combination of 16 digits to make a valid credit card number? And we do this across structured, unstructured, managed and unmanaged data in the cloud, right? So not just looking at the cloud native services, but also looking at things like databases of service. So we have support for Snowflake and we have support coming for Databricks. And then this morning, we actually announced support for Office 365. So looking at SharePoint and OneDrive, right? As well as on-prem file shares. So that was some announcements we actually made this morning about some other place that we're getting into in terms of what we wanted to data discovery. What is, how is DSPM different from existing cloud security tools that are out there in the market? You talked about kind of the three catalysts of why the company was founded, but how do you differentiate it from the other tools? Great question. We get this question a lot, right? Because we've spent, as an industry the last couple years investing in what I call the alphabet soup of cloud, right? CSPM and CNAP and CWPP and CIEM, right? Cloud everything. To me, and I like to use analogies a lot when I talk to customers, right? If you think of your cloud as like a bank, right? When you think about a bank, right? A bank is really designed to be secure from the get go, right? You've got security cameras, you've got to make sure that it's a strong foundation. It can withstand forced entry. But at the end of the day, what do people want when they get into the bank? They want your data, right? So if you think about the cloud, right? It's the same thing, right? If someone's going to come into my environment, I need to be able to protect that data from the inside out. So even if I built a very secure bank, what do we have inside of banks? We have vaults. Well, why do we have vaults? Because we have to protect the valuables, right? And so I think as an industry, we've done a really good job of figuring out how to secure the perimeter. And we're still working on securing the perimeter of the cloud, but you have insider threats. You have malware. You have people that have access that you've been given into your environment, right? So you need to be able to protect the data at the source of the data. And up until now, there hasn't really been a solution in that space, right? You've got EDR endpoint, that's great. But a lot of these breaches that are happening are happening at the data source in the cloud. They're not happening at the endpoint anymore, right? So for us, it's really about protecting data where data lives. So you mentioned you're protecting database as a service. You said Snowflake. Databricks is coming. Databricks is coming. What is it about the modern data stack that makes it an interesting opportunity for you? And what's the challenge that brings for customers? I mean, I think the challenge right now is as we move to the cloud, and as people have gone multi-cloud, they simply don't know where their data lives, right? If you think about the traditional data center, right? You knew where your data lived because you provisioned those storage assets, right? You put in those storage arrays. You've given people access. And in the traditional sense, it was typically a small number of large data assets. But in the cloud, we're seeing a large number of small discrete data assets, right? Things like microservices, for example, have really made the ability to spread data out much more ubiquitous. But the problem with the cloud is also dynamic, right? Things spin up, things spin down. So knowing where your data lives is the first challenge. And so for us, that's really where we see the challenge in the market. As customers simply don't know where their data is today. So it's like, for instance, Snowflake can spin up a small data warehouse and share data across clouds and different locations. So that creates a problem. I guess Databricks is headed in that direction. And what data lives in there, right? Is it sensitive data, right? If you're a customer that has a variety of information around your clientele, how do you know if that data is in a specific data asset? And we see it all the time, right? There was the announcement yesterday from a breach perspective where I think Microsoft had some data where it was data for like an LLM, right? For one of their language models where someone accidentally put in information around a backup of someone's laptop. And that laptop had all sorts of different information that was sensitive, right? That's the type of stuff that we're helping customers identify and figure out. And so, okay, so, but Snowflake was, okay, put everything in the Snowflake data cloud and we got you covered. But of course they need partners to actually do all the sort of detail. So are you basically work within that environment? You'll work within a Databricks environment? Maybe other environments as well? Yeah, great question. So we're discovering data that's living in Snowflake, but one of the great things about the DIG platform is that our architecture was designed from the beginning to be secure. What that means is we do all of our data discovery in the customer's cloud. So that sensitive data never actually has to leave their environment. And that's a big deal for our customers because if you want a third party to be able to discover and classify, you don't want them to have access to that data as well. And that's also some of the ways that we differentiate from some of the existing cloud security solutions where some of those technologies require you to take data outside, right? And we don't want to have control of your data, just like you don't want us to have control of your data as well. Right, right.  How have your customer conversations evolved? We know security is a board-level conversation. What have you seen in terms of the level of customers coming to you saying, help us figure this out. We've got a lockdown data security and know where it is. Yeah, I was yesterday in a meeting in New York with a bunch of CCOs, and this was a hot topic. And what we've seen is data security, especially if you look like Gartner, right? So Gartner's got their hype cycle, their hype cycle report just came out, and they described data security, posture management, or DSPM as very embryonic. So it's still very early stage, but the benefits to the business are transformational, right? So for them, this is, again, it's kind of that missing link, right? If I go back to my analogy, right, you have banks, banks always have vaults, right? If you've got a cloud, right, and you've got CSPM or CNAP or whatever it is protecting your perimeter, you also have to protect from the inside. So I think this is very much becoming top of mind for all the executives we talked to, because when I ask them those three questions, can you identify what data lives in your cloud who has access? Nobody ever tells me yes, right? There's always kind of an uncomfortable, maybe, but we're not really sure. We need someone to help us get there. And the legacy solutions that were in the data center aren't designed for the modern cloud. So they're really struggling to be able to do this at scale in these large-scale environments where there's thousands or tens of thousands of data assets. So what sort of traditional, you mentioned legacy systems, I presume that's what you're disrupting. Can you describe, sort of, give us some more color on that? And how big is your market? I mean, I would say the total address market is large. I mean, anybody that has data in the cloud is a potential customer of what we do. I think a lot of the traditional players that were in this space, they're focused on the data center. And again, in the data center, you know where that data lives and you've provisioned it. But as those vendors pivot to the cloud, I think where they're struggling is that they require agents and connectors, right? We're agentless. We don't require you to provision anything. We're non-disruptive tier-to-production workloads. I think that's where we're seeing customers who want to do this at scale that have large environments. Those legacy tech doesn't really work for them because they're like, I don't have the time to provision thousands of connectors for my thousands of data assets because frankly, I don't even know where those data assets live. And if you can't tell me where they live, how do I know where to go provision access? How do I know how to connect them to those platforms? So is DIG sort of exclusive cloud, cloud-native, exclusive cloud? So cloud is where we started with some of the announcements we announced this morning. We are really looking to support data wherever it lives. So we announced this morning we're going to support on-prem file shares because that's a big request from customers. And then of course, people are asking for SaaS applications, right? Office 365 probably being the biggest one, but then G Suite will probably follow later this year as well. And again, as the databases, I mean, see it with Snowflake, certainly Databricks, starting to ingest data from different locations. To the extent they do that, that just benefits you and increases your time. Because we want to be able to show customer, what data do you have living in data, in your Databricks environment, right? Do you have a social security number or a credit card number that lives in that database that maybe shouldn't be there, right? We talked about differentiators in terms of competing or existing cloud security tools. But let's talk about DIG's differentiators within the DSPM market. When you're talking with customers, what are the top three things that you see really define the value proposition of DIG security? Yeah, great question. So I think the first is the DDR piece, right? That was the piece that we coined and we invented. So that real-time detection and response is the first. Customers want to know static risk, like misconfiguration, but they also want to know real-time. Is someone, again, pulling data my environment, right? And where is that data going? I think the second thing is around the accuracy and the speed of our classification and discovery process, right? So the time to value for our customers is very quick. We can onboard customers in minutes, not days or weeks. And we can discover data in 24, 48 hours and really start giving them tangible things that they can go back to their teams and say, hey, here's what you have to focus on. And we've also put a really strong focus on security posture, right? We are a security tool. And so we've got a lot of policies built into the product to kind of help guide customers as to where to start. What's the low-hanging fruit, right? Where do I start when I implement something like a DIG to help me figure out where my data's at risk? How do you? Thinking about the modern, the so-called modern data stack, which Snowflake and Databricks are sort of the poster children of that. BigQuery for sure. Now Microsoft has fabric. Obviously AWS says it's bespoke tooling. That comprises sort of the modern data stack of today. How do you see that evolving? Like as an example, you're seeing analytic and transaction data coming together. You're seeing more of a push to real time. IoT, digital twins, digital representations of your business, which seems like it's going to do a couple of things. It's going to increase the real time nature. And this whole conference about going faster and break out times and things like that. So real time speed and as well, more data. How do you see that evolving and how will that affect your opportunity and approach? Yeah, I mean, again, I think for us it's about really being able to protect data wherever data lives, right? So to your point earlier, right? We are starting in the cloud. We're going to SaaS. We're also looking at things like LLMs, right? So we announced a couple of months ago that we're going to start having support for discovering what type of data goes into your large language model, right? Generative AI is such a hot topic. This is probably the hottest topic of 23. And so we want to be able to support customers and discover what data is going into your LLMs and how do we secure that data, right? So I think for us, it's really just about figuring out wherever your data lives in your cloud, we want to be able to discover and help you protect it. What do you make of Charlotte AI? And is there a play there for you all? Is it an adjacency? Does it support what you're trying to do? Is it somewhat an overlap? I'll be honest, not as familiar with that space. I don't know that I have a great answer for you there. So it's Charlotte AI is CrowdStrikes. Basically, they're LLM SOC assistant, right? Ah, okay. You talk to Charlotte and she tells you like what vulnerabilities you have, prioritization. The whole idea is to reduce the heavy lifting of the SOC analyst. Yeah, so I think there are things that we are looking at in that space where we want to make the product easy to use. But to your point, being able to query and say, hey, can I go ask it a question, right? Show me all my data assets that have PHI data that are open to the world, right? So I think we're certainly investigating leveraging that technology, but I think there's also a little bit of risk that we are very reliant on AI already, but as we've seen, sometimes it's not always accurate, right? And sometimes you got to make sure that you still have some human factor validating those results, right? So I think we're certainly doing our diligence from a product perspective to see if that's a route that we want to go down. For customers, can you share a little bit about the CrowdStrike integration and help us understand how you really, from a technology partner perspective, working synergistically? Yeah, so the way that we work is we're basically leveraging the cloud APIs. So what we're doing is we're basically sending the hash of all the files that we scan in a customer's data asset and we're sending it to CrowdStrike and they're returning back basically the confidence level and the family that malware belongs to, right? So it's a great partnership. We were the first to really bring malware scanning to cloud data assets and of course we're doing that with our great friends and investors at CrowdStrike. When was the company founded? We went to market up just about two years ago, right? So we're based in Tel Aviv. There's about 80 of us or so and it's been a great run so far. And then CrowdStrike was part of the Series A? Great question. I don't know if I have that. I think they were part of the Series A but I'm not the right person to know that one. I don't get all the dollars and cents. I'm going to look it up. What's your, well Dave's looking that up. You must have a favorite customer story that you think really shows the value of what DIG is delivering and the DSPM market. Share with us. If you can't mention it by name, that's okay by industry or use case that you think really says this is where we're here. Yeah, so we were working with a large financial here in the U.S. And what we saw was that they had data that was leaving their environment. It was basically a script that was running and that data was going to an account that didn't belong to them. Turns out it belonged to an employee that had left the company and basically left a script that was running that was exfiltrating data, right? I mean, that's one of those things where you need to be able to see it in real time, right? Looking at static risk, looking at posture is one part of the problem but that did exfiltration in real time is really the piece that customers I think are really missing in the current cloud security space especially at the data asset level itself, right? As opposed to the end point or the application. At the data level, real time is no longer a nice to have. It's an imperative. It's a must have. Yeah. You've got some very cool investors. So CyberArk seeded you. Okta invested, obviously CrowdStrike, we talked about that. Okta invested in you guys. Nancy Wong who's like an AWS like data protection pro and an investor. So you've got some good juice on your destiny. I mean, it's a great space to be in and certainly we're leveraging those partnerships as well, right? You talk about Okta, right? So we're working with them on doing some more of a response on identity, right? So if we see someone that's exfiltrating data and we know they're an Okta, we want to be able to go to Okta and say turn off this person's access, right? Or make them reauthenticate just to validate that we know who they are. So we're really going to leverage these partnerships but also be friendly to the ecosystem, right? So we've got an API that's going to be available at the end of this quarter because we want to be able to integrate with everybody. We know that there's not one solution that can solve everyone's data security problems, right? So there's always going to be a, you know, a set of vendors that customers are going to want to work with and we really want to be able to let our customers integrate our data with either things that they're building or with other vendors, you know, that want to be able to do things like orchestration, right? So for example, we have an integration with Torque, right? Because we want to be able to have SOAR, right? We can't do all the automation response but there are great vendors out there that can do that that we want to partner with to deliver that. Very interesting. So the company's founded in 2021 based in Tel Aviv. So you know they're doing some really interesting problem solving. What would you say is your, you know, from the CTO perspective, there's your secret sauce that's really unique. Because, you know, a lot of times there's really cyber companies come at problems with really unique angles. Yeah. Would you say that is? You know, my opinion for my time here, I think really is the team, right? I think every company is only as good as its people and I've been amazed and impressed by the entire team here at DIC, from top to bottom, right? From the engineers to the people on the front lines. I think we've got a great team of people in the time that I've been here. I've seen us deliver on every item that we put on the roadmap, right? We're very focused on our customer success and making our customers happy. And just like most companies, we're driving the roadmap based on customer feedback. But I think the biggest thing is we're delivering on that roadmap and we're really making a product that's really designed to make security as easy as possible. And products in market. You're shipping, you're at revenue. We are. I mean, only two years. That's pretty good. And you feel like you've got product market fit? We do. Yeah, I think that's something that we hear all the time is again, I think what we're seeing is people don't quite have budgets yet for DSPM. There's not a line item in the budget for DSPM. But what we're seeing is when we go in and we're doing proof of concepts, proof of values and people are seeing what we're able to discover, they're finding budget for us, right? So I think in a year, two years, you'll start to see very specific data security budgets. But it is a problem that we are solving that people have. And you sell this as a SaaS service? We do. And the pricing is based on what? Is it consumption? The number of data assets. So like an S3 bucket would be a data asset type, right? So the number of different cloud data assets that you have in your environment. What do you see as the future DSPM being, I loved how you described it as embryonic. I'm going to use that term. I still live from Garner, so I can't take all the credit. I'll credit both of you. I think it's brilliant. And just on your experiences with what DIG is doing and how it's evolving, what do you see as the evolution of the DSPM market? It sounds like you're right at an inflection point. Yeah, that's a great question. I think as a whole, as we look at where we grow, again, I think some of the points we talked about, data is going to be living in all different types of places. We're going to have new technologies going to leverage data. So again, being able to protect data wherever it lives, I think is going to be a focus for any vendor in this space. I think ultimately, we're going to be part of a bigger security strategy. We're looking at people that have, they've built data security programs on-prem, now they're figuring out, well, how do I do it in the cloud? And in the cloud, there's a lot of other ancillary parts of data security. There's governance, there's privacy. And then within data security, you've got cloud, you've got email, you've got SaaS, you've got end point. So I think there's a lot of different places that data is going to go to. And I think we're going to do our best to make sure that we follow the trends. And ultimately, we follow the industry and what customers need us to be. I think what you just described is a bode's wealth or CrowdStrike and the companies that are in their ecosystem because it's so fragmented and so complex for customers. They want to consolidate, they want to simplify. They want to be proactive. They don't want to wait until they figure it out. Oh, it's too late. I mean, the whole stop the breach thing. I mean, when I first heard it, I was like, well, that's aspirational. You're not going to stop the breach. And we all know that you can't stop every breach. But that is, I'm increasingly convinced that that's the right mindset. And when you start deploying tools like what you guys do, it just gives you more better observability, better intelligence and the ability to protect yourself in a way that is less reactive and more proactive. And it really comes back to that first step, right? We tell customers that go down this route, like don't try to boil the ocean, right? There are key things that you have to do in a data security program. And the first is just to know what you have, right? You can't protect what you don't know. That's the biggest challenge. And even working with CrowdStrike, right? We had some confidence with some of their sellers and they're saying that they have people coming to them saying, CrowdStrike, how are you helping address this space? And that's why we're partnering with them to go in because this is a space that we can help them with. You know, in their customer base where their customers are saying, okay, we've done all the great things with all the CrowdStrike tech to protect but we still don't understand the data itself, right? And how do we, again, discover, classify, protect that data? So are you guys co-selling, co-GTO? We are working on that, absolutely. I think that'll change here pretty quickly based on some confidence that we've had this week. Well, in terms of speed, we've been talking about that all week here. It sounds like there's been a lot of speed and momentum at dig in what you've accomplished in just a couple year period. Yeah, it's been great. Can you give us a peek as field TTO into the roadmap? Maybe some of the things that we should be listening for, watching out for in the next six to nine months. I think my product team might have some things to say but I can tell you today, the announcement around SaaS platforms, it won't be our first or it won't be our last, right? We're going to have a bunch more platforms because again, customers are saying, hey, we've got all this data that lives in all these native cloud services but what about all these other SaaS offerings that we use, right? So we're going to be getting a little bit deeper into the SaaS space for sure. All right, we'll be looking. Where can the audience go to learn more? You can go to dig.security. So you'll get great information about us and also there's a paper that we put out about a month ago called the dig state of cloud security report. It's a great report. We analyzed eight plus petabytes of data across multiclouds and there's some pretty interesting findings in there that we found about how people are securing or not securing their data. So it's a great read for anybody concerned about data security. Very cool. Awesome, Anthony, thank you so much for joining Dave and me. Thank you for having us. Giving us the overview of dig.security. I wish you had those, the iDig security stickers. We'll have to get those. We'll see if we can find you one. You got to hook up Dave with the socks. I'll bring in the socks. All right, cool, thank you. Awesome. Dig.security, check it out. Great story on DSPM. Anthony, thank you again for your time. Thank you so much. For our guest and for Dave Vellante, I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE's day two coverage of CrowdStrike Falcon 23. Dave and I are back with our next guest in just a few minutes. We'll see you soon.
