Nvidia's security under fire after departure of top official

Nvidia is facing serious questions about the effectiveness of its security team after the head of security recently departed. This departure coincided with news that CEO Jensen Huang stepped down, partly due to controversial dealings with a senior official from a company that allegedly facilitated chip sales to China. All of this suggests that there are deeper issues at Nvidia concerning security and oversight of confidential information.

According to a former intelligence officer, the recent departure of the security chief is a signal of structural deficiencies in corporate security.
