The Washington Post is reporting that President Barack Obama will soon name a former official in the George W. Bush administration as the U.S. cyber-security coordinator.
According to unnamed sources, the newspaper says Obama's choice is Howard A. Schmidt, a former cyber-security adviser to the Bush White House.
The Obama administration has made cyber-security and its coordination across government agencies a top priority. But over the past year the White House saw an exodus of top cyber-security officials, including presidential adviser Melissa Hathaway.
