Two-factor authentication is key to sound ID management: Schmidt

摘要

Howard schmidt is a much sought-after expert in his field, and a quick glance at his career history makes it easy to understand why. Schmidt has served as the chief security specialist for the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT), as the CISO and CSO for Microsoft Corp. — where he spearheaded the trustworthy computing initiative — and most recently as the CISO for online auction company eBay. Schmidt left that position last month to devote more time to his consulting work for CERT, other international governments and some corporations. Computing Canada recently spoke with Schmidt, who was heading for Toronto on June 15 to speak at the Infosecurity Canada conference.
