This specific entity has suffered billions in losses due to IP theft in the past.
When your unit of accounting is such that six figures is a rounding error, they can afford it. And for good reason.
I wouldn't expect you to have knowledge of their operations. The only reason I do is because I was close with the head of security. But I will make sure to pass along your expert advice next time I'm there.
- Ansil849 5y agoNo reason to get weirdly defensive. The reality is that realistically no one in the corporate espionage sector uses lasers to either exfiltrate or infiltrate data, because there are a million easier ways to do so which aren't a nightmare to implement. There has been a very, very, very tiny amount of times lasers have been employed for state espionage, let alone corporate espionage.
- tedunangst 5y agoDid the billions in losses stop after the IP theft countermeasures were implemented?
- jason-phillips 5y agoThat's a question that I can't accurately answer as I wasn't privileged with that info. I was aware of countermeasures in large part because I built the software that helped run the place. Did all of the countermeasures help? Yes, probably quite often. Were they bullet-proof? Absolutely not, and the director of security would have told you so.
- KennyBlanken 5y agoSo they have anti-laser-surveillance devices but let the friend of the head of security pay social calls? Mmm hmm, okay.
