An hour-long internal presentation explains how Apple prevents its leaks
There used to be a lot of secrecy behind Apple and its products. During Steve Jobs' reign, the firm was very tight-lipped, allowing very little information in regards to its manufacturing process and products to leak out into the public space before its release.
But in recent years, that has all changed. Now, we know months in advance what the new iPhone will look like and also have access to plenty of other pieces of information that gives us a good idea about what Apple is up to. While this may be true, that doesn't mean the firm is just letting things slide. In fact, it's quite the opposite, according to a new audio recording of an Apple security briefing The Outline acquired.
The briefing titled, “Stopping Leakers - Keeping Confidential at Apple”, is an hour-long presentation that offers videos, speakers and more importantly insight on the ways the firm is combating leaks. While this might seem like your standard loss prevention meeting at a local big box electronics store, you'll quickly realize that things are bit larger in scope when Apple introduces David Rice, formerly of the NSA and Lee Freedman former Chief of Computer Hacking Crimes at the U.S. Attorney’s Office, who are both part of Apple's “New Product Security” team.
