Earlier this month Secretary Napolitano of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security named Philip Reitinger as Director of the National Cyber Security Center in DHS. This is a newly formed office in DHS. Previously Philip had held positions in DOD Cyber Crime Center and was leading the Trustworthy Computing initiative at Microsoft.

I wish Philip all the best and hope he's able to get what he needs to get things done there.
