Federal cybersecurity director quits

ROD Beckstrom, director of the National Cyber Security Center has quit because the National Security Agency is dominating US's cybersecurity efforts.

The NCSC was set up within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) last year Beckstrom was appointed to lead.

However Beckstrom has said that he has had a gutsful of the NSA controlling DHS cyber efforts "through detailees, and technology insertions". He said that this was bad strategically. µ
