After four years at the helm of Microsoft's, Mike Nash is taking a break. This June he will go on sabbatical after 
handing over responsibilities to his replacement, Ben Fathi.

Nash led Microsoft's Security Technology Unit during a period in which the security of Microsoft's products was 
increasingly scrutinized following a number of worldwide worm attacks, including Slammer and MyDoom.

The 15-year Microsoft veteran was responsible for directing Microsoft's response to these threats as well as for 
setting its overall security strategy as the software vendor struggled against a public perception that its products 
were insecure.
