Although the soap opera with the FBI continues and we still do not know for sure Apple's next move in this matter, if it has been possible confirm a new hire On the part of the company in relation to the position of head of corporate security, this position has fallen to a former executive who has already worked for companies such as Microsoft where he worked as a manager for 10 years and later joined Amazon as vice president of digital security but this time for a period of 6 years.
The name of the "lucky man" is George Stathakopoulos and from now on will be held accountable and never better said, before the financial director, Luca Maestri.
The work you will perform will be to protect corporate assets, that is, both the software that is still under development and is confidential as the information of future products and their design, which have recently suffered many leaks.
It should be taken into account that at Amazon, Stathakopoulos was directly responsible for the IT infrastructure of the company in which the programs they protected entered the privacy of Amazon customers.
All we know is that Stathakopoulos has been at Apple for more than a week helping the company in the FBI case about unlocking iPhone 5c, showing that Apple is increasingly interested in security now that it is so in question, remember that last month, the company hired the developer behind the chat application recommended by Edward SnowdenEven in November Apple acquired the security consulting company LegbaCore.
Let's remember that tomorrow will be the presentation of the new Apple products and just one day later, that is, on March 22 they will have a trial against the FBI before the supreme court to defend his position for not unlocking the terminal.
