A Think Tank For Chief Security Officers?
from the what-will-they-think-of-next... dept
Earlier this year, folks were surprised to learn that former Microsoft Chief Security Officer Howard Schmidt only lasted a few months as the White House IT security advisor. Now, he's moved on and created the Global Council of Chief Security Officers as a sort of "think tank for chief security officers". At first, this sounds like a publicity stunt designed to drum up business for consulting purposes, but you have to admit he's put together a fairly impressive list of participants, including Whit Diffie and Vint Cerf.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
