TCP grindset 

TCP Grindset stands for “Tyson’s Corner Professionalism” Grindset, referencing inimintable and fully bottomless reserve of technical talent concentrated in only one place.

Used originally for cybersecurity hiring as it is widely believed by contemporary corporations that cyberspace is a physically addressable location with an office building and not a vast network of communications and information transmission activities.

TCP grindset, or simply TCP, refers to the corporate belief that cybersecurity talent solely exists in widely-unknown and non-descript suburban cities they happen to have offices in, such as Tyson’s Corner near Washington DC in the DMV area.

The slang TCP refers to the mindset and not the fine folks of Tysons Corner, who are great.

Believers in TCP include top firms, and executives who want to have the whole office there so they can feel like they can control something in these unprecedented times.

With the modern threat landscape as it is, following TCP protocols can concentrate your organizations talent in one location:

Benefits:
- your leadership will feel like they made a good choice

- ensure your business can alienate those who don’t live where you built an office
- single-shot to undermine the intelligence of your recruiting staff, and ensure you get best-available and not best-possible talent for your underbudgeted mission critical functions

- zoom from one building

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
