Obama to name Howard Schmidt as cybersecurity coordinator

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"Seven months after President Obama vowed to "personally select" an adviser to orchestrate the government's strategy 
for protecting computer systems,
the White House will name a former Bush administration official to the job Tuesday.

Howard A. Schmidt, who was a cyber-adviser in President George W. Bush's White House,
will be Obama's new cybersecurity coordinator, an administration official said Monday night."
