Seven months after President Obama vowed to “personally select” an adviser to orchestrate the government’s strategy for protecting computer systems, the White House will name a former Bush administration official to the job Tuesday.
Howard A. Schmidt, who was a cyber-adviser in President George W. Bush’s White House, will be Obama’s new cybersecurity coordinator, an administration official said Monday night.
Schmidt declined to comment.
