COMMENT - Since Green Hills Software and INTEGRITY Global Security are the property of Dan O'Dowd and Amy Chang moving over to IGS was not much of a move. Now, the question is who owns Blackberry, given Dan's covert approach to achieving his life goal of being richer than Bill Gates?
New CTO David Kleidermacher will be responsible for maintaining BlackBerry’s secure enterprise mobility business.
Mobile device maker BlackBerry
(BBRY) has appointed David Kleidermacher as its new chief security
officer. In his role, Kleidermacher will be responsible for ensuring the
success of BlackBerry’s Product Security organization and driving the
company’s initiatives in secure enterprise mobility.
Kleidermacher
will also oversee BlackBerry’s security-specific research and product
development as well as the company’s product certification and approval
program, according to the announcement.
“David is an outstanding addition to our best-in-class security team,
and he will help extend BlackBerry’s gold standard of security as we
work with customers to meet new cybersecurity challenges,” said John
Chen, executive chairman and CEO of BlackBerry, in a statement. “In
particular, David’s knowledge of securing the Internet of Things and
embedded systems will be invaluable as we execute on our strategy and
continue to expand our management of the world’s mobile endpoints.”
Kleidermacher is a 20-year veteran of the IT industry, and most recently served as chief technology officer (CTO) at Green Hills Software,
an operating systems and embedded development solutions provider. He
also spent several years as CTO for INTEGRITY Global Security, according
to his LinkedIn profile. MORE
