NCSC official quits over NSA interference

[Perry E. Metzger]

Quoting:

   A top federal cybersecurity official resigned this week in a letter
   sharply critical of what he described as a power grab by the
   National Security Agency.

   Rod Beckström, director of Homeland Security's National
   Cybersecurity Center, said in his letter that NSA "effectively
   controls DHS cyber efforts through detailees, technology
   insertions," and has proposed moving some functions to the agency's
   Fort Meade, Md., headquarters.
