In the last few minutes, news from BlackBerry has hit the wires announcing the appointment of David Kleidermacher as BlackBerry’s new Chief Security Officer. A blog post that just went up has relevant details:
David’s security expertise is considerable, spanning more than 20 years in strategy and product engineering focused on operating systems, high assurance software development techniques, mobile device security and the Internet of Things (IoT). He literally wrote the book on security for embedded systems: Embedded Systems Security: Practical Methods for Safe and Secure Software and Systems Development. He’s also authored articles and whitepapers on everything from bringing mobile devices up to military spec to connected cars.
David comes to BlackBerry from Green Hills Software where he was Chief Technology Officer. During his time at Green Hills, he led the team that developed the company’s market-leading INTEGRITY high reliability real-time operating system. INTEGRITY was certified by the NSA at EAL6+ High Robustness Common Criteria SKPP — the highest security level ever achieved for an operating system. It was also certified by the FAA.
In other words, David knows security.
This guy really sounds like he is going to add to the “street cred” that BlackBerry has on the security front. It will be interesting to see what influence he brings to BlackBerry and their products.
