Oh Boy, a Cybersecurity Chief. I feel so safe now.

I want to apologize in advance for my poor GIMP skills as I'm using Linux this week. If this was photoshop, it would shine in a million colors. At any rate more important matters are at hand.

One, the most disliked political figure of Jason and I has finally been arrested. In this 78 page complaint Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is charged on three major counts, selling Obama's senate spot, running pay to play politics, and trying to fire the Chicago Tribune editorial board. So wait how does this play out on me. Well simply if Illinois Governor actually passed a budget instead of slow playing it as he has many schools would have the technological funding that was requested last year. Several schools that I was to provide for didn't get the funding they requested. So long story short, this guy ruined educational funding for schools beyond his other crimes.

But the subject is cybersecurity. Apparently Obama needs to do new homework as he is requested to suggest a cybersecurity chief. All I can say is, its about time there was emphasis in this subject. As I stated in the cybermonday post, lots of weird stuff has been developing on the web. There has also been a minor shift in platform power as well. For the first time in over 10 years, Microsoft no longer holds the 90% market share. Apple for awhile considered security software but quickly removed it as it contradicted their advertisements. As they approach the 15% it will be a target for virii writers as the system does hold a large consumer based of people who can afford apple hardware.

What I look for in a security chief, is someone who can see trends like the one I just posted. A person that can make a stand about net neutrality and its relation to the consumer. A guy who can think out of the box and demonstrate the needs of his people towards computing. For the love of god, this guy has to be able to explain the OSI model in detail.
