Former National Security Adviser Tom Donilon and former IBM CEO Sam Palmisano will lead a special presidential cybersecurity commission.
The White House announced Feb. 17 that Donilon is being appointed chairman and Palmisano vice chairman of the Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity, which President Barack Obama established via executive order earlier this month.
Donilon is a veteran civil servant, having served in the Clinton and Obama administrations, including a stint as Obama’s national security adviser. He’s perhaps best known to the public as a prominent face (standing, second from left) in the iconic Situation Room photo on the night of Osama bin Laden’s death.
