> Ever since the Snowden leaks, cybersecurity has been hot in Silicon Valley. In part that's because the industry no longer trusts the government as much as it once did. Companies want to develop their own security, and they're willing to pay top dollar to get the same people the NSA is trying to recruit. And that's one way to fight back. Starve or own the talent pipeline. Buy them away from the NSA's front door. Similar to how Apple controls much of the manufacturing capacity for smart phones. Until the NSA starts drafting people.
