The real reason is that it's located in Maidenhead and if anyone tried to touch the place, Jambo and Barnshaw would go break some skulls.

I had a tour of the data centre at work, you have to put on special shoes and they use retina scan security.
They also had this cool stuff where it's like a wall with a hole in it and you can reach through and shake hands with the person on the other side, but if you talk through it, you can't hear it. Mazin.

The more they show you, the more at risk they are

All it takes is a new exploit, they're being discovered all the time. Hackers/security analysts find a exploit, people patch it and repeat.
Looks impressive for cs though, Ian's just boasting
