The last tech job I worked marketing for had a security product (you probably have used it without knowing it). They had a group in-house they called the “Tiger Team”: people who were supposedly tasked with testing the security of the product. You got into the “Tiger Team” by finding a flaw in the security.
The “Tiger Team” did nothing. At all. Didn’t even meet. Hell, half of them didn’t know who the other members were. The job of the “Tiger Team” was to sign the NDA that had dire consequences if you spoke to anybody else about the “Tiger Team” and/or the security flaws in the product.
So basically the “Tiger Team” existed only to conceal flaws in the product. Not to fix them or find more.
What beans? I already spilled them: Entrust had “Tiger Team” that consisted entirely of people who’d found flaws in the security of the product; it existed entirely to NDA-bind the “team members” to squelch talk about the security failures.
You want me to spill the beans on the flaws? Can’t. I do marketing, not techie stuff. I just know about the “team”, not about the things people found to get into it.

I swear, security companies have the worst security practices.
When does the NDA expire? I need deets
I didn’t sign an NDA, the guy I was dating did. And the company is long zombified (Entrust).
Then spill the beans!
