JPMorgan Hires Cyberwarriors to Fend Off Data Thieves and Foreign Powers

>The military orientation of JPMorgan’s security team leaders may incline them to see the involvement of governments and spies when companies face a range of threats, many motivated purely by profit, says Brendan Conlon, who spent 10 years in computer network operations with the NSA and now runs Vahna, a security firm in Washington. “It’s like groupthink,” he says.

Not only the cultural pre-inclination but also the political cover it gives to JPM to claim a nation-state bogeyman, instead of copping to having a flawed organization.

I've been saying for years that there is a huge and growing market for a Blackwater style cyber firm.

There's only so much that JPMorgan can do legally, and I'm sure they're already into some gray areas.

I can't help but think these straight-laced, shirt & tie, crewcut environments aren't attractive to the type of diverse skillsets they really need.

and who are we hiring to defend us from JPMorgan?
