Jon Callas, a security expert who has worked twice at Apple, in 2011 and later in 2016, just announced that leaves the Cupertino-based company to join the American Civil Liberties Union. Jon's departure can be a serious setback for the company, as after leaving it on one occasion, he returned shortly after, which suggests that he is very good at what he does.
As we can read in Reuters, Jon Callas quits his job as a security engineer at Apple for a lower paid position in the American Civil Liberties Union. Jon will be leaving Apple in two weeks, at which point he will join the association's staff.
Jon has been in charge of checking the security of new Apple products through a group of hackers that led, before its launch. In addition, Jon was one of those responsible for the encryption system to protect data on Macs.
Most likely, Jon Callas played a very important role in the development of the T2 chip in the new generation of Mac and probably also in the security improvements that have come from the hand of macOS Mojave as well as iOS, where since With the release of iOS 12, content cannot be accessed by connecting a cable unless the device is first unlocked.
