wiredmikey writes "In December of 2009, after months of waiting, the Obama Administration named Howard Schmidt as the White House Cybersecurity Coordinator. After more than forty years in the IT community, the nation’s first cyber czar will retire at the end of the month. Schmidt, after just over 2 years of government service, said that he would retire in order to spend more time with his family and to entertain teaching opportunities in the cyber field.
Schmidt was at the reigns when the White House introduced its international strategy for cyberspace, and also helped create the controversial National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, an initiative that would allow people to obtain a single credential as a onetime-password (on a token or mobile device) to do business on the Internet.
Schmidt will be replaced by Michael Daniel, currently the head of the White House budget office’s intelligence branch."
