EMC faces mounting criticism over the March data breach that continues to 
expose its RSA security division customers--including Lockheed Martin--to 
targeted attacks. In response, it's created a new job position at RSA: 
chief security officer (CSO).

While EMC hasn't officially announced the move, a Wednesday Twitter post 
from Eddie Schwartz, formerly CSO of NetWitness, said that he was now CSO 
of RSA. "Only job more public and challenging at the moment would be CSO 
of Sony <-- I am UP for it!" tweeted Schwartz (no relation) in response to 
a message of congratulations.

Schwartz comes to EMC via its April 2011 acquisition of NetWitness, where 
he was CSO. NetWitness develops security analysis and visualization 
software that competes with offerings from such vendors as Cisco, HP, and 
IBM. (With the conclusion of the purchase, EMC said that NetWitness 
products would become core parts in its RSA security products.)

Previously, Schwartz's positions included serving for 12 years as a 
foreign service officer for the Department of State, technical director of 
a large government security lab, and CTO of ManTech. He also authored the 
network forensics chapter of "CyberForensics: Understanding Information 
Security Investigations," published last year.
