All kidding aside, how much will a company pay to be broken into?
Quite a bit, actually.
Has anyone here hired a tiger team and did they find the investment worth it?
I haven't ever hired one, but I did give some (limited) advice to some people at an accounting firm that was hired to test security for a company. (The big accounting firms are now really general business consulting companies.) They successfully penetrated the target, but I am not sure what the final fee was so I don't know if in the very specific sense the sums expended were worth the additional security that came out of the exercise.
