US tech industry bis larger than people imagine. With the ongoing cyber attacks, every company > 10 employees who have a lot at stake needs to hire cyber security specialists.

If we can have 500k police and private guards, we should have 500k cyber security specialists

There's probably a point where insurance requires it.

Lots of companies get physical security from:

- the building that rents them an office including a guard in the lobby

- the datacenter that rents them space including guards

- the cloud service taking care of their own datacenters

On the other hand, if you have your own building or rent in an unguarded building, deal with cash, have an actual storefront -- you'll probably be hiring security yourself.
