Facebook CSO Alex Stamos departing, won't be replaced
L33tdawg: We are proud to have Alex Stamos deliver the keynote for us at #HITB2019AMS - Our 10th year anniversary conference in The Netherlands!
Facebook Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos is leaving the company later this month, he announced Wednesday.
Facebook won't replace Stamos, as the New York Times initially reported and the company confirmed to ZDNet. Earlier this year, Stamos helped the Silicon Valley tech giant revamp its approach to security, embedding its security experts -- teams of engineers, analysts, investigators and others -- directly into its product and engineering teams.
"We are investing heavily in security to address new types of threats for the people who use our services," the spokesperson said in a statement. The new structure, the spokesperson said, "has helped us do more to keep people safe, from detecting fake accounts in new ways, to stopping more malicious actors who manipulate people to spread falsehoods or share sensitive information."
