It's a possibility, I can't rule it out for certain and say this is foolproof, but - [ Jim turns to gesture towards the computer terminal behind him, cycling through code in the background. ] An AI is just like any other computer program, and processes take time, even when it's fast. We set up something called a rolling code. Several layers of it, actually.

Imagine it like this: we built a big ass wall around our locked down internal network. [ Jim gestures, trying to help conceptualize it. ] Each brick in the wall has a unique code attached to it. The AI has to figure out the code to each individual brick, in the hopes of making a hole large enough to slip through.

Now, [ Jim holds up a finger before spreading his hands expansively again. ] We're not just sitting behind our big ass wall. The codes for each brick keep changing. We change them at randomized intervals using a cipher program that also iterates, and plug it into a cascade effect - so if the AI figures out five bricks, well, when it changes again, they start all the way back at the beginning. You follow?
