The requirements are in such a place where the customers want to do a continuous assessment of their applications. The customers were looking for something around static security and dynamic security, and in all those areas, they were looking for an industry leader with a proven solution. Synopsys is a Gartner leader, so I position this particular technology for the technical pre-sales part of it. Then, we looked at the customer environment, different use cases, the client, and all those kinds of things. We started scanning a few of their applications, getting results, some eye-openers, and identifying critical assets. It's a continuous process, a three-year project, involving continuous security assessment across more than 300 applications. So, my tool, Code Dx, scans all these different applications, revealing design reserves, and it's part of a continuous improvement plan.
