Now, in the past I’ve made it clear that having the lead job at Sony for information security would be a great position. Why you ask? Simple, it is an opportunity to rebuild the shattered mess that Sony has become. You, in effect, would get to play the part of the white knight.
From The Register:
The company has picked former US Department of Homeland Security exec Philip R Reitinger to fill the role of senior VP and chief information security officer. Reitinger has also worked in cybersecurity at Microsoft as well as at the US Departments of Defense and Justice.
“He will oversee information security, privacy and internet safety across the company, coordinating closely with key headquarters groups and working in partnership with the information security community to bring the best ideas and approaches to Sony,” the firm said.
Now, while this person may in fact have all the ability et cetera, the real question remains. Is Sony behind this candidate? Are they willing to put their money where their mouth is?
Or…
Is Reitinger the first person up against the wall when problems mount?
