Turmoil hits the top leadership of Cisco Security

Now amazingly, even Cisco's #1 security executive, Chris Young, is bolting (there's a rumor he's the new CEO of Intel Security i.e. McAfee).

"Intel named Chris Young senior vice president and general manager of Intel Security on Monday. He will join Intel's management committee and reports to Intel President Renee James. Young will create a unified Intel Security business unit, pulling together McAfee's innovation and Intel's product security team."

CiscoChris YoungEarlier this week I blogged about Cisco's #2 security executive, Scott Lovett, bolting for Intel Security?

Now amazingly, even Cisco's #1 security executive, Chris Young, is bolting (there's a rumor he's the new CEO of Intel Security i.e. McAfee).

Young was replaced by long-time (14-years) Cisco executive, David Goeckeler, who most recently was the Cisco Security Technology Group Vice President of Engineering.

David GoeckelerAccording to a Cisco blog earlier this week:

"David Goeckeler is assuming leadership responsibilities for Cisco's Security Business Group (SBG) effective immediately."

Cisco continued:

"David played a key role in last week's launch of the Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services next-generation firewall (NGFW).
 

"His efforts also directly contributed to a report issued today by NSS Labs that shows Cisco as a leader in security effectiveness in its 2014 NGFW Security Value Map (SVM)."

  1. Cisco ASA 5525-X v5.3.1
  2. Cisco ASA 5585-X SSP60 v5.3.1
  3. Cisco FirePOWER 8350 v5.3
  4. Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) Security Value Map - September 2014

However, the following top 5 security executives appear to be staying at Cisco (at least for now):

  1. Martin Roesch Martin Roesch

    Cisco Security Business Group Chief Architect

  2. Bret Hartman Bret Hartman

    Cisco Security and Government Group Vice President and Chief Technology Officer

  3. Michael Fuhrman Michael Fuhrman

  4. Scott Harrell Scott Harrell

    Cisco SSG Vice President of Product Management

  5. Marc Solomon Marc Solomon
