With PCI compliance at my company, pretty difficult.

You have to enter a 15 digit password just to take a crap around this place.

Street gangs steel explosives and automatic weapons from military bases regularly. I don't care how hard you and your security team felate each other, your system is little more than an nuisance. The only thing that keeps anything safe is the trade off between effort and reward...

Someone off the street? At least somewhat difficult. I work in a DoD facility that has Top Secret restricted areas. For someone who works there, I don't think it would be hard at all.

Intel takes it's secrets VERY seriously. There's lots and lots of layers of firewalls, blocked ports, blocked websites. Hell, many of the pictures that get posted in the threads here show up only as a red X on my computer.


There are security cameras and badge access everywhere - more in the areas that are more sensitive. My wife has 4 different badges to get her into specific areas. Even myself, as an employee, find myself very limited and very restricted on places I can go and things I can see and I don't even work in the super-secret fab.


So, if you were someone from the outside trying to steal the secrets on how to build the high-K dielectrics on a transistor, I'd say good luck.
