Cybersecurity chief

If you've been reading for a while (well, since July), you may remember this entry, suggesting that you apply for the job of Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for cybersecurity. Well, the position has now been filled:

The White House has chosen an industry information security specialist as its cybersecurity chief, an official said Monday, filling a job that has had no permanent director for a year. Greg Garcia will be nominated later this week as the Department of Homeland Security's assistant secretary for cybersecurity and telecommunications, said a department official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement had not yet been made.

Mr Garcia, the article says, was the vice president of the Information Technology Association of America.
