Microsoft security chief looks beyond Vista
The responsibility for protecting Windows systems against ever-increasing threats is in new hands.
Ben Fathi, a software engineer by trade, took over from Mike Nash as corporate vice president of Microsoft's Security Technology Unit on June 1. Nash is on sabbatical.
The change is part of a recent shakeup in Microsoft's executive ranks, which also put someone new in charge of Windows.
Iranian-born Fathi is a tech geek who spent the last eight years in the shadows at Microsoft working on file systems. Now he's in the spotlight--in arguably the most thankless job in Redmond. Fathi is responsible for security features in Windows and other Microsoft products.
