Tom Kellermann, another member of the CSIS commission, also expressed
satisfaction about Hathaway's involvement in the review and the
possibility that she will take the lead on cybersecurity issues
afterwards. He said that Hathaway has a keen understanding of the
international nature and scope of the cybersecurity problem and the
nexus that exists between cybercriminals and unfriendly governments.
Kellermann, who is vice president of security awareness at Core Security
Technologies, a Boston-based vendor of security testing tools, added
that he hopes the cybersecurity job eventually will be elevated "to a
higher level" -- that of a special adviser who would report directly to
Obama.
