Top US Cyber Security Chief Resigns
-----------------------------------



The top cyber security chief at the Department of Homeland Security has
resigned and has accused the National Security Agency and the military
of trying to take control of the government’s cyber security efforts. Up
until last week, Rod Beckstrom served as head of the National Cyber
Security Center. Beckstrom opposed efforts by the NSA to move the
National Cyber Security Center to its base at Fort Meade in Maryland.
