When you just said 'security,' you weren't talking just about data protection. What areas of security is Datto involved in?

Datto is involved in almost every aspect of security except desktop AV [antivirus]. We think about security at the network level with our networking team that's working on DNA [Datto Networking Appliance], our access points, our switch gear. We think about security from the backup and DR [disaster recovery] side, which we're deeply involved in with our Siris and Alto product lines. And then we're looking at new ways to provide additional security services across the board. So that's things like our ransomware detection, where we're literally using patent-pending algorithms to detect this stuff while it's happening so that we can notify people even when their desktop AV might let them down.
