Take a Director of the White House Cybersecurity is a concern Top

When someone from the White House talks about a problem, you better listen. And now there's a voice of great American house that deals specifically with cybersecurity.

A call to action

That voice belongs to Ari Schwartz, who is almost as rooted in Internet policy as it can get. Back in 2011 Schwartz was appointed Internet Policy for the National Institute of Standards and Technology. 

Today, his hard work paid off, and now serves as senior director of the White House Cybersecurity.

Schwartz has his work cut out for him. In fact, not enough people think seriously about the issue of cyber security. Schwartz was instrumental in getting an initiative off the ground that sought to implement voluntary cybersecurity standards for companies and energy companies and hospitals. 

"Wherever I go, people to thank me the work we did in the cyber security context and how they improved over time: The confidence of the private sector to continue voluntary, privacy groups, we learned that are pleased that we were able to keep the information practices faithful documents Principles despite strong pressure we received from the industry about it, "he said in an interview with Next go.

Holding your company to a higher level of security

With voices and outside Schwartz calling for action, the question is, will you hear me?
