What type of corporate company has the highest security?

[Kill]

Basically my question is what type of a corporate business has the most secret business information in order to survive. As in what type of business would be completely destroyed if their secrets go out?

Thx

Good call! Credit Card companies. I'd say that some fairly risque defense contractors have some rather intimate secrets/information they have under wraps pretty well too.

 

[LeeTJ]

insurance companies.

Yeah Lockheed-Martin is pretty have, you have to acquire top secret clearance to work there in most departments.

- Government agencies (esp. information/defense)
- Defense contractors
- Credit Card Companies
- Corporations holding unique brand/patent (i.e. Coke)
- Research Laboratories

Diamond/Gold mines.

They're excessively anal since it's real easy to have someone walk out with something big unless you are.

An example of this is shoe sole inspections at a gold plant to make sure you haven't stepped on a molten bead of gold (regardless of intent)

The SPAM business?? Surely, they don't want their identities or methods to be disclosed.

I know Exxon has pretty high security in all their buildings compared to most companies.

 

[RossMAN]

KFC

 

[Ameesh]

my educated guess would be software companies.

 

[newbiepcuser]

Govt. They spend a lot of money on security.

The tightest on-site security I've delt with is the cosmetics industry R&D facilities. In some ways it was harder to get into Revlon and Avon than FT. Meade & the Pentagon.

Big money in looking good.....

FWIW

My company's security is very tight, but it's due to the fact we have large quantities of Schedule II narcotics on the premises.

[GroundZero]

the mob

 

[Armitage]

Defense Contractors
If they screw up security, not only will they be out of business, but possibly in jail.
