Let's talk about something that might be keeping you up at night. Cybersecurity. According to Vantar's latest state of trust report, it's the number one concern for UK businesses. That's where Vanta comes in. Whether you're a startup, growing fast or already established, Vanta can help you get ISO-2701 certified and more without the headaches.

And Vanta allows your company to centralise security workflows,

0:26.2

complete questionnaires up to five times faster,

0:28.5

and proactively manage vendor risk to help your team not only get compliant, but stay compliant.

0:34.3

Stop stressing over cyber security and start focusing on growing your business. For a

limited time, our audience gets $1,000 off Vanta at vanta.com slash go. That's va.com

slash go for $1,000 off. Because when it comes to your business, it's not just about keeping the lights on.

0:53.7

It's about keeping

in the UK. That's one of the rules that we have here, that you have to be able to start a charge on a

1:32.5

network that you can tap your phone, tap your card, haven't got to use the app or anything like that.

1:37.7

And so the ones in Europe don't have that. Wonder what the US ones have. That's great. Can't wait to see more V4s rolling out in the US.

1:45.9

The cyber truck has been sold for $400,000 at a charity auction at the Peterson hosted by Jay Leno.

1:52.4

The trouble is it's an early VIN vehicle and they haven't actually started making them.

1:57.1

So someone spent almost half a million on a vehicle, not actually made yet, but there's a

2:01.1

long history of charity auctions selling early VIN vehicles for, well, millions in some cases,
