According to a statement released Sept. 18 by DHS secretary Michael Chertoff, Garcia will brings the “right mix of experience in government and the private sector” to succeed in the role of Assistant Secretary for Cyber Security and Telecommunications.
“He has the expertise to focus resources and activities within the cyber and telecommunications communities in a manner that is consistent with our risk-based approach to homeland security,” Chertoff added.
