They do do that, if I understand correctly. Penetration testing handles the physical security of the company. [DEFCON 19: Steal Everything, Kill Everyone, Cause Total Financial Ruin! ]( ▶ this video ) Social Engineering [Hacking the Wetware: Compromising Companies with Social Engineering]( [link] )

All of that sounds impressive, until you see red team pros talk about how the whole apparatus melts before the gentlest of social engineering- ▶ this video I'd also be concerned with leaking of mass amounts of records at once due to a security lapse on servers where it's a bit easier for grossly inadequate protections to lurk unnoticed- [link] I think I've read that Google doesn't even store the original recordings, but distorts them randomly to make them unrecognizable but still intelligible by their models. That seems like a pretty reasonable way to protect people, provided they're informed and there's no link back to the original account.

This something that the speaker in the famous "steal everything, kill everyone..." [1] defcon talk refers to as the "jedi wave" and makes similar remarks about. I think it's a great name. [1] ▶ this video
