OPM Head Has No Tech Or Cyber-Security Experience, Won't Resign |
2015-07-10 |
[Daily Caller] More than 21.5 million current and former federal employees had their personal information hacked from the Office of Personnel Management, including the fingerprints of everyone who has applied for a security clearance. The director of OPM, Katherine Archuleta, has refused to resign, saying she is "committed" to repairing the historic data breach. But Archuleta has no background in tech or cyber-security. In the official White House press release on her first day, Archuleta was heralded as "the first Latina" to run the OPM and someone who "[w]ith her breadth of experience as an educator, public administrator, and community leader, Katherine Archuleta possesses an abundance of skills to bring talented people together with different ideas and fresh perspectives to strengthen our federal workforce." The release focused mainly on Archuleta's history of political appointments, in the Clinton and Obama administrations, and diversity. |

#8 But Archuleta has no background in tech or cyber-security. Frankly she didn't need to have a background in "tech or cyber-security" - that's what CIOs and Information Security are for. She should have, however, concentrated a bit less on "inclusiveness and diversity" and a bit more on running the OPM. |

#4 A hundred years ago the media ousted the incompetent and larcenous Tammany Hall patronage hacks and ne'er do wells. Today the media protects the incompetent and larcenous Tammany Hall patronage hacks and ne'er do wells. |
