my boss today, my ceo, former director of nsa, keith alexander, army general, said when he was back of nsa referred to the threat of intellectual property in the united states as the greatest transfer of wealth in modern human history, and they's exactly right, and that was years ago. you think of the personal experience of kathy and we've got to get ahead of that and the question is how do we create an institution to defend against the national level threats and protect people like cat? one of the answers has to be we're doing so far has not helped with individual agent significance standing up against the threat. you can't imagine a large company, a target, a walmart, a citibank, a jpmorgan to defend the russians, chinese and iranians and if they can't do it how can you expect a small or medium-sized company or an individual like kathy to do it? i worked for chairman mike rogers and we created a lot of permitting of the sharing of intelligence and collaboration amongst companies and the government and more needs to be do. we need to insennivize the governments to do that and give mor

keith alexander who is the director came back with the third option and the third option was we think we can use zero days and we think we can break in to natanz which is the air facility not connected to the internet and you'll have to do that by paying someone off but we think if we can get into natanz we think we can use the cyber attack as a computer worm to get into the computers that control the rate at which the rotor. of this centrifuge and that was the part of uranium enrichment. about 10% of centrifuges have to be thrown out every year in the enrichment process because of such a fragile process of the said if we can get into the computers that control this we could speed them up or slow them down and if it looks like it natural accident we could basically decimate iran's uranium supply. and it would be a way to get israel off of our backs and it was interesting to talk to nsa hackers on the ground at fort made during the time because they described the pressure campaign as a psychological operation. they were showing us documents on their desk saying look here is where they

joining me to discuss his retired general keith alexander, the former director of the nsa under president. i want to start with some market developments, iron net going public via spac. why choose that route, why for a cybersecurity company, why now? >> that's a great question. the reason, it's really for us to go public but we have a unique capability to detect and invest in cyberspace that others can't see, and more importantly we can share that at network speed across companies to create true, collective defense at speed. we think that is needed, and it is worth the time now to go public early and get that out there. we think we can on that space and we think that is the future of cybersecurity. it works with other companies, we are not replacing all cybersecurity, but we are creating a way to help defend in ways we have never been able to in the past. that is what we are bring to the table, and that is why we are doing a spac now. emily: nations are getting increasingly aggressive whether it is russia or china, we have involving the microsoft exchange hack, allegedly originating withi
