Apple has hired a new security executive to oversee its corporate digital defenses as a result of the ongoing battle with the U.S. government over law enforcement's desire to crack into the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone 5c.
George Stathakopoulos, former vice president of information security at Amazon.com and before that Microsoft's general manager of product security, is the new appointee designated to be the vice president of corporate information security.
Stathakopoulos will be responsible for protecting corporate assets, such as the computers used to design products and develop software, as well as data about customers.
The new hire is a sign of increased focus on security issues at Apple.
