The Washington Post reported White House Taps Tech Entrepreneur For Cyber Defense Post. "Sources in the government contracting community said the White House is expected to announce as early as Thursday the selection of Rod A. Beckstrom as a top-level adviser based in the Department of Homeland Security. As the article and security expert Bruce Schneier point out he "has no cyber-security experience".
He is a co-author of The Starfish And the Spider who's subtitle "The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations" seems strangely appropriate to this administration. It's actually fairly well received and is about decentralized organizations.
Still I'm reminded of Bush's signing statement to a new law saying the head of FEMA must (shockingly) have emergency management experience. He said such qualifications would too limit the pool of candidates. Uh huh.
