Window Snyder Shares Her Plans for Intel Security
It has been less than four months since Intel appointed Window Snyder as its chief software security officer and vice president and general manager of its Intel Platform Security Division. But Snyder, it seems, has been preparing to take on this position for years.
"This role ties into everything I've been working on in my career until now," she says. "By the time I learned more … there was no way I was going to say no."
Snyder is an industry veteran best known for her work in advancing security efforts at Apple, Microsoft, and Mozilla. She started her career as a software engineer, and later shifted to consulting before joining Microsoft as senior security strategist in 2002. It was a difficult time for businesses, which were grappling with an onslaught of cyberattacks.
