http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/27/us-cymmetria-hire-idUSKBN0TG28W20151127 By Jim Finkle Reuters.com Nov 27, 2015Computer security startup Cymmetria has hired a well-known retired U.S. government computer-forensics expert, Jim Christy, as vice president of investigations and digital forensics.
Christy started this week at the provider of technology that targets the psychology of attackers, tricking them into revealing themselves through techniques such as the use of decoy servers.
Cymmetria told Reuters on Friday that Christy will oversee efforts to help clients investigate attacks uncovered with the company's technology, then advise them on coordinating disclosure to law enforcement.
He retired from the U.S. government in 2013, ending a career investigating computer crimes and running digital forensics labs that began in 1986 at the Air Force Office of Special Investigations.
