Bruce Schneier Becomes CTO of Co3 Systems

An anonymous reader writes "Co3 Systems announced that Bruce Schneier has officially joined the company in the role of its first CTO. Schneier joins Co3 after spending seven years as BT's Chief Security Technology Officer and the previous seven years as CTO of Counterpane Security. Schneier's formal engagement with Co3 Systems began early last year when he joined the company's Advisory Board. His intersections with the Co3 team date much farther back to when he and Co3's CEO John Bruce worked together at Counterpane."

    I thought -CO3 was carbonate

    Better warn Han Solo, it looks like Bruce is turning to the dark side.

    I don't trust URL shorteners and figured I would save everyone the time that I wasted in expanding it.

    Why should Schneier's jobs make the front page

    We just had a story about Bezo's fucking kidney stone.
    ANYTHING is more relevant than that.

    While he's denying it for the record, he *is* one of the people helping the Guardian/NYT review the Snowden documents, and given the pressure put on the Guardian by British authorities, the timing of his departure from BT does seem a bit suspicious (sorry, Bruce).

    I expect between whatever lump-sum he got when BT bought Counterpane, his actual salary at BT, and his writing and speaking engagements, he's not particularly worried about the next mortgage payment.
