EMC faces mounting criticism over the March data breach that continues to expose its RSA security division customers--including Lockheed Martin--to targeted attacks. In response, it's created a new job position at RSA: chief security officer (CSO).

While EMC hasn't officially announced the move, a Wednesday Twitter post from Eddie Schwartz, formerly CSO of NetWitness, said that he was now CSO of RSA. "Only job more public and challenging at the moment would be CSO of Sony <-- I am UP for it!" tweeted Schwartz (no relation) in response to a message of congratulations.

Schwartz comes to EMC via its April 2011 acquisition of NetWitness, where he was CSO. NetWitness develops security analysis and visualization software that competes with offerings from such vendors as Cisco, HP, and IBM. (With the conclusion of the purchase, EMC said that NetWitness products would become core parts in its RSA security products.)

Previously, Schwartz's positions included serving for 12 years as a foreign service officer for the Department of State, technical director of a large government security lab, and CTO of ManTech. He also authored the network forensics chapter of "CyberForensics: Understanding Information Security Investigations," published last year.
