Reitinger leads Microsofts Critical Infrastructure Protection Team. As director of trustworthy computing, he works closely with government agencies to enhance the security of infrastructures and to further Microsofts Trustworthy Computing Initiative, a long-term, companywide program to promote the values of reliability, security, privacy and responsible business practices. The technology sharing and analysis center is a nonprofit organization of corporate leaders from the information technology sector. It was established in 2000 to identify vulnerabilities and threats, including working with the Department of Homeland Security to accomplish the goals behind the National Infrastructure Protection Plan and information technology sector-specific plan. The IT-ISAC plays an integral role in helping the public and IT sector collaborate to combat evolving threats against critical infrastructure, Reitinger said. The commitment demonstrated by the members of our organization is critical and will help us drive enhanced risk management and other initiatives in 2008. Reitinger was previously the boards vice president and is replacing John Sabo, director of global government relations from CA Inc., as IT-ISAC president. Joining Reitinger as vice president is Brian Willis, an information security analyst at Intel Corp. Reitingers background in information technology includes a stint in the Justice Departments criminal division as deputy chief of the computer crime and intellectual property section. He also worked as a criminal division trial attorney and was a special assistant U.S. attorney in 1997 in the Eastern District of Virginia. Before joining the criminal division, he was a trial attorney in the civil division. Named IT-ISAC secretary and treasurer were, respectively, Mary Ann Davidson, chief security officer at Oracle Corp., and Rob Clyde, vice president of technology at Symantec Corp. ___________________________________________________ Subscribe to InfoSec News http://www.infosecnews.org/mailman/listinfo/isn
