The Department of Homeland Security’s outgoing cyber chief, who resigned last Friday, has expanded on the concerns he cited in his resignation letter.
Rod Beckstrom, who resigned as head of the National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) under concerns that the National Security Agency is pushing to take control of the government’s cybersecurity efforts, says private companies that are meant to partner with the government in securing the nation’s critical infrastructures likely won’t be comfortable working with an agency known for its secrecy.
