CIA offshoot taps former U.S. cybersecurity chief

Former U.S. cybersecurity chief Amit Yoran has been appointed president 
and CEO of In-Q-Tel, the CIA venture capital arm charged with funding and 
developing new technologies for the intelligence community. He took over 
Tuesday from previous chief Gilman Louie, who plans to start up his own 
San Francisco-based venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel said in a statement.

Yoran resigned as director of the National Cyber Security Division of the 
Department of Homeland Security in late 2004, after less than one year in 
the post. Earlier, he was CEO of Riptech, a venture-backed network 
security company he cofounded, and then a managed security executive at 
Symantec. He also did a stint overseeing the vulnerability assessment 
program for the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT).
