Target Completes Overhaul of New Security Staff

Target announced this week that they have hired a new chief risk and compliance manager, Jacqueline Hourigan Rice, who will report directly to the company's CEO. Her position will work directly with the new CISO who was hired in June, Brad Maiorino, who reports to the new CIO that was hired in April, Bob DeRodes. This complete overhaul of information security and risk policy, as well as elevation of the new and existing positions within the company, should help Target stay one step ahead of the next attack. The new focus also gives me a strong sense that I have made a wise decision and selected a field that is in high demand for my post-graduate degree.
