Obama taps Bush aide Melissa Hathaway to review federal cybersecurity efforts
By Jaikumar Vijayan
Excerpt:
Tom Kellermann, another member of the CSIS commission, also expressed satisfaction about Hathaway's involvement in the review and the possibility that she will take the lead on cybersecurity issues afterwards. He said that Hathaway has a keen understanding of the international nature and scope of the cybersecurity problem and the nexus that exists between cybercriminals and unfriendly governments.
Kellermann, who is vice president of security awareness at Core Security Technologies, a Boston-based vendor of security testing tools, added that he hopes the cybersecurity job eventually will be elevated "to a higher level" -- that of a special adviser who would report directly to Obama.
