AT Apple, Brian Latimer was in charge of protecting some of the company's deepest secrets.

After an engineer accidentally left a test version of the iPhone 4 at a bar in 2010, Mr Latimer set up a system to track, recover and destroy prototypes of coming products. Later, he taught overseas suppliers how to shield production lines and compartmentalise information to avoid leaks.
